>Cover had previously not been paying subcontractors for covers and revisions to various works. This is known information and Cover has allegedly addressed it>However, Cover was still paying way better than basically anybody else, who are all still underpaying subcontractors.>Even if you turn down a job as somebody's mama/papa, another sucker is born every minute, so they'll pick up the tab.If that's accurate, and the Subcontractor Act gets stricter enforcement...it's possible we're going to see a massive constriction in the industry on the JP side in the coming year: Fewer debuts, fewer 3D showcases, fewer cover songs and orisongs, fewer outfits and L2D upgrades, and fewer corpos able to keep up.
If the courts rule that these companies owe money to subcontractors for past work, we could see a mass JP corpo death as bills come due. Which Cover likely avoids because they already addressed the issue and have been making good on it on their own.
Now, add this to the previously-reported news that the JFTC says vtuber names are stage names that the talent should keep, and the potentially disastrous effect that might have on the JP scene.
