>>5448480>From what you said, I can understand why Cover are suddenly so risk averseThis is a numbers thread, there is a perfectly numerical reason for Cover to be risk averse
>they got copystrike and sued by Capcom, a company 100 times bigger then them, and threatened with a lawsuit by Nintendo, a company that on 2021 E3 pulled 3.5 million live viewers on their stream.Said apology contained the following text:
>We apologize for the use of copyrighted works without the permission of the copyright holders.>Thank you for supporting our talent.> In the Youtube archives of several talents belonging to HoloLive Production, the VTuber agency operated by our company, there are some parts of videos that use assets that are not licensed by the right holder, therefore copyright violation.>This matter is due to the lack of management on our part.>We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and in order to promote sound distribution activities in the future, we will carry out privating and deletion support on all of our talent's YouTube Content.>We will only publish the content for which we have the permission.>We deeply regret the fact that this situation has been reached, and we sincerely apologize to everyone involved.>We would like to reinforce the management system again and try to prevent the recurrence of such a situation.>There are many points that we cannot address, and we are very sorry, but we would appreciate your continued support.> June 30th (Thurs.) Cover Co., Ltd.> President and CEO Motoaki TanigoCapcom could easily have 3 striked Mio (they did strike her twice and held off the third) and pretty much every other girl specially the ones in Hololive Gamers. Nintendo could have striken pretty much all of them. 3 strikes and it's over, your person can never create another account on any Google owned platform anymore and any company creating and giving you control of one risk getting themselves banned as well.
Cover is risk averse because they bear all the risk and have ZERO upside on breaking rules to get ahead.
Internet retards can screech all they want but only Nintendo, Sony, Capcom and similar giant japanese conglomerates can actually kill them for good (and they would withouht even leaving the karaoke booth)
