>>84258593Report on Infringement of Rights of Nijisanji Livers by Outside Creators
Thank you very much for your continued support of the virtual liver group “NIJISANJI” and “NIJISANJI EN”.
On September 1, 2024, an accusation was made that in a YouTube distribution by an external influencer (the "main stream"), the appearance of a person alleged to be a liver affiliated with the Company was secretly photographed by an external musician (the "Subject") and the photograph was sent to a third party without permission, including defamatory statements.
We immediately began investigating the facts from August 30, when the announcement of this distribution was made, and have found some information on the timing, location, and victims of the photos mentioned in this distribution.
The subject is a freelance musician who has been involved in providing music, recording, mixing, and mastering (hereinafter “providing music, etc.”) to numerous artists, and we have asked him to provide music, etc. to us.
Under such circumstances, it is extremely regrettable that the subject is suspected of committing such an indescribable act of brutality that could harm the Company's subscribers and shake the foundation of the relationship of trust between the Company and its creators.
In addition, the Company will take legal action against the subject not only for the termination of the current agreement between the Company and the Target, but also for breach of confidentiality obligation, violation of the right to privacy, defamation of honor and trust, and other violations of rights.
We will take sufficient care of our livers who are anxious about this matter, and will strive to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
In order to prevent secondary damage, please refrain from spreading photos and information related to this case, and from posting comments on social media and comments on the stream that make fun of the case or the company's livers.
In addition, regarding this case, there were some comments on the internet throwing suspicion on our company's livers, their managers and our employees, but our company is not of any evidence to support the claim that any of our company's livers or employees were involved in this issue.
Please refrain from spreading false information about this case as if it were committed by our company's livers or employees.
For these malicious acts, we are considering taking legal action after collecting evidence.
Bad actors are already prying into the cover songs and other content in which the subject was involved, as well as social media posts from of our company's affiliated livers, who are presumed to have received music from the subject, hence we have temporarily made the content private and deleted the posts on social media.
Publishing a list of content that was privated and posts that were deleted on social media could cause secondary damage to the victims of this case, so we ask that you please delete such posts immediately.
We recognize that such an incident shouldn't be tolerated and should never happen again. In order to protect the physical and mental wellbeing of our livers and to allow them to continue their activities with peace of mind, we will make further efforts to improve the activity environment for our livers, including reviewing the selection of creators to whom we place orders and the criteria for continuing to give commissions to them.
