Why does no one ever call out vtube artists for being so anti-consumer? As far as I know, most artists will never relinquish their copyright to their customers who commission their work. Even if you pay an artist $3000+ you still do not legally own that avatar. If they wanted to, they could take an avatar you paid for and are currently using and sell it to some other random guy. The only thing stopping them would be the backlash they get from the public for pulling a dick move, but they would still be legally within their rights to do so. No court in the world would ever side with a vtuber because artists make it clear that they retain their copyright.
