>>3349490Cover owns the rights to anything hololive related, forever, for 70 years, throughout the universe, everywhere in any platform regardless of content or intention if youre profiting off of it, and japanese law protects an author's rights to how their work is presented to the public, if at all, and how its translated, if they allow it to be translated at all.
Hololive clips are direct copyright infringement unless you're using a clip to share news or as an educational tool.
Steam accounts used by Cover's employees to do their job as streamers are at least partially owned by Cover and Cover does have the rights to ban or control how, when, why people use or view these accounts, even if they cannot logistically enforce this through steam. Making a video of Gura's work steam account and profiting from it is a copyright violation in Japan.
Not that they would need to enforce anything through Steam, if you even show or mention Gura in the video they probably have decent grounds for a legal, enforceable copyright claim.
This also applies to any hololive design, any portion of any hololive design, any trademark based off of any copyright trademark or design, and anything having to do with the hololive app, any of Cover's designs for anything at all, ever, and any trademarking decision they have ever made, such as "Bloom", the bloom logo, any bloom related merchandise and advertisement, and anything else they have ever made.
This is factual legal advice, court enforceable.
