>>44413578>which is why Cover took down FBK's See You Again and Scatman meme videos rather then just giving up the revenueIIRC; sadly those were, alongside Haachama's infinitely superior Country Roads, casualties of their talks to license Myth's version.
The timing was too close, they might have been in conversations with the RIAA labels and they pointed out that Cover was infringing on this this and that song with the obvious overreaction and "DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING" attitude of theirs.
>they restored Haachama's Country Roads eventually and, I believe, without securing a separate sync license, maybe with a double deal when licensing it for Mythhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB2hfFe3geg>to how they're forbidden to sing Disney despite them being licensed as domestic works in JASRACI don't know about "forbidden for licensing" but more likely than not "forbidden because Disney is too overzealous". Moona got her unarchived karaoke ganked IN REAL TIME a couple of times already because of songs she even had license due to the Karafun machine and blanket license.
With youtube being a bitch about copyright strikes (which even the first leads a channel to lose permission to live stream until it clears) I understand being overzealous.
>rather then setting up a blanket licensing agreement with the notable record companies, many of which have either a Japanese arm or are owned by a Japanese company to smooth out any language barriers, is also equally retarded but that one actually would take proactive work which I know far better then to expect from Cover Sadly, that's the one thing I expected them to excel due to the way japanese companies operate.
Just look how they tightened their ties to Square Enix, it doesn't take much.
I bet all it took was Tanigo and whoever his counterpart in that company is taking a trip to some fancy onsen in Tokyo, sniffing some coke in the midriff of a couple of courtesans baring a striking resemblance in appearance and age to Mio and Choco, laughing the high off and swearing allegiance to the local chapter of the Yakuza together.
The fact Cover didn't do this with the local Unversal (even if they share a fucking artist) or Sony (which they surely have good relations) is proof of how immature their company is.
Hell, one of the signature songs of the whole company
>Haachama's own Red Heartup until a couple of days ago COULD NOT BE ON THE PLATFORMS because they were too dumb in the past and didn't actually had the rights to the song (similar to how Sora stuff was and maybe still is under Victor)
The EN girls aren't helping either, I doubt they REALLY REALLY want to invest lots of time and effort on singing. Maybe Kiara but, as for the rest, I don't think they consider it worth the personal effort and if the company is not providing they won't be fighting for it
