>>5282653>Which made me chuckle when Capcom started giving Mio a lot of sponsorships right after they got permissions from them. Felt like a peace offering to me.It was. Most people talk shit about "japanese IP laws" but they don't understand: THERE IS ZERO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JP AND (let's say) THE USA LAW WITH REGARDS TO WHAT GOT COVER IN TROUBLE
The difference is:
>US companies see any positive exposure (like the one gained by influencers consuming and enjoying their products) as "free marketing">JP companies see any unauthorized use of their property as theft, burglary and an affront to their culture, way of life and the one of of their ancestorsIt is a cultural thing you can see even on Minecraft JP server
Korone "panicked" for accidentally "stealing" one (1) wool from Haachama's sheep farm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-nUbkj5kawthat's how serious they take other people property: it doesn't matter that it will grow back as soon as the sheep eats some grass. It was not her to take so she would rather cross the whole server looking for wild sheep than to take something without asking.
That almost cost Ollie everything on her first JP minecraft visit when she pretended to steal diamonds from Usada Trade Center
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlpB222oPkYHad Moona not swiftly punished her (redeeming Ollie in front of the JP audience) she would likely end up being some outcast for failing to read the room and understand the cultural repercussions of taking things that don't belong to her without asking permission first.
Capcom got what they wanted from Cover
>a public apology with a dash of publish shaming>formal request for permissionwhich they gladly gave because killing Mio or killing Hololive was never the point.
If it was they could just three strike all of the Hololive Gamers and they would never be able to stream on Youtube ever again EVER
