This is an interesting ruling, names can be one of the more recognizable things about a chuuba, and considering there is alot of precedents of people using similar designs or the same artists this could bring some interesting implications for chuubas who dont have the best relation with their old companies. I wonder if Doki could just get a purple wig and some breast enhancement and Mint can make the fairy design canon
It'd be funny but both doki and mint are bigger than their old persona at this point, it make no sense to give out thousands of dollars to riggers and designers for nothing but shit and giggles. I also believe most people who has left long enough at this point are too well bonded with their post-corpo persona to give it up.
Some 2-view who struggle post corpo life might make the move, like a certain faggôt. You know who I'm talking about.
Mikeneko will 100% commission a 4th vtuber model out of nothing but menhera and streams on rushia as a separate personality from her mikeneko, 910 inc and nazuna. All of them at the same time. But most other wouldn't.
Once this is coming into effect, and I thinking it highly will. The biggest beneficiary of this new policy will be the
CURRENT corpo talent/livers. Without non-competes and that they can legally keep their old name, more will be able to make the jump from Corpo to Indie. Someone can just cook up a new model, wait til it finish and contract runs out and debut the next day under the same name after leaving, similar to
what Sakura Aoi did, but this time you can keep the name and fanbase.
Current corpos will have to offer more incentives for talents to stay, now that leaving is much easier. Even if they don't leave the corpo, they should enjoy more benefits and perks compared to before this. (except for nijisanji noone can take away Riku's yacht money)
Yes, but this is only an opinion of/study by the JFTC so far.
"The Japan Fair Trade Commission will
soon publish a report summarizing problematic behavior and urge them to correct it"
It might take up to half a year for them to release the report, but it is happening and it would be silly for companies to knowingly violate it when they are now officially under investigation.
