For your defence its not a short so you just looked at the wrong place. However you just had to type yagoo ahoy to find it you retardI duly acknowledge your superiority. And that I am, indeed, retarded.
Oh, I was aware and looked at the video tab. I don't think a shorts tab existed at the time the video was made, and thus ignored that option.For your defence its not a short so you just looked at the wrong place. However you just had to type yagoo ahoy to find it you retard
Recently decided to follow Shylily, first time watching a stream of her's
Look, after the Vox interview, I just think she’s really funnyYou walk a road I cannot follow. Coomer.
This is something I think Phase needs to be conscious of, given the noticeable growth over the past year. Publishers aren't going to bother going after a tiny corpo full of 2views because there's nothing to gain from it, but when one of the talents is pulling in several grand a week with some of the others quickly catching up, it's only a matter of time before the corpo's on their radar.There is no extra protection you get from being based in the USA.
The only protection you get is a unspoken agreement that most devs don't want to open Pandora's DMCA because 9 times out of 10 they view it as free advertising.
And in the case they don't view it as free advertising (See: Nintendo and Atlas), most publishers don't want to go after every single Johnny Twitch Channel using their game because it would be too much money for too little return.
However, when there's an entire talent agency with a corporate structure and where "Middle Management" is genuinely a thing that exists, suddenly the two aforementioned "protections" go away.
This also gets a lot more serious for the agency because suddenly it's not just a game publisher coming after one channel, it's a game publisher coming after your entire company with actions that can affect the income of well over 100 people in the smallest of cases.
Game permissions for corpo chuubas has nothing to do with Japan. It has everything to do with the fact that they are corpo.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DON'T TRY TO ANALIZE IT LOGICALLY! CORPOS ARE EVIL, JAPAN IS EVIL, IDOLCULTURE IS FUCKING KILLING VTUBERS, WATCH INDIES AND SMALL CORPOS IF YOU WANT TO SAVE VTUBING YOU NORMIE FAGS, STOP WATCHING MAINSTREAM CHUUBAS YOU FUCKING TASTELESS RETARDS!! AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPeople forgot what happened to Hololive back when they didn't care for perms, one of their talents nearly got wiped off. I can understand why they are overly paranoid when it comes to perms.
New /vt/ video just dropped
Thank you for the Firewatch mention, it's usually the case I bring up when people start talking about "Westerners don't have this permissions problem"This is something I think Phase needs to be conscious of, given the noticeable growth over the past year. Publishers aren't going to bother going after a tiny corpo full of 2views because there's nothing to gain from it, but when one of the talents is pulling in several grand a week with some of the others quickly catching up, it's only a matter of time before the corpo's on their radar.
The extra problem you have is that if the issue went to court, most vtuber gaming streams would not hold up under a Fair Dealing/Fair Use defence. It's hard to present your work as a critique or commentary on the copyrighted material when a significant part of the stream consists of off-topic discussion and interaction with chat; a less-charitable plaintiff could make the argument that a streamer is using their game footage, characters, and logos to promote their own brand and that their superchats, ad revenue etc. are ill-gotten gains - and a courtroom comprised of normies would buy it.
Most developers and publishers would be hands-off regardless, but there are always exceptions to the rule. Some don't care about the optics of taking down internet personalities (Nintendo have no need to care, they could massacre an entire village and get away with it because people like Mario, and Atlus are just terminally retarded), and others just act on impulse rather than logic. I have a bit of a fear in the back of my head that some unhinged indie developer will get mad about the Hitler particles rabbit streaming their game and take action, similar to the time the Firewatch dev DMCA'd PewDiePie because he made edgy jokes.
tl;dr if your Phase oshi's streamed a playthrough you particularly enjoy I'd recommend downloading the vods as a backup, just in case.
