Excuse me if I'm paranoid but I have been run out of enough fandoms to have a permanent hatred for outsiders and fear of imminent destruction. Whenever I find something I like I am just waiting for the moment it will be plundered for cheap profit/fame, torn to shreds and then left a husk of its former self.
Wrong.
yes, a judge is going to have to ask questions about vtubing and figure out if it's contract work or not. as for the multifactor test, theres federal lawsuits pending about the new bol designations. so to say a judge is definitely going to they're employees is false
lol
Wrong
Its the dead of the night for muttlandia, so give it 14 hours until False wakes up. Then, there will be fire.
Which we may never get or at least highly unlikely that someone else will give over a contract template willingly. Think most we got was some fuel but nothing to really continue burning the yachts.
FFS I read your statement in Lia's voice.
You can just record an acapella cover, take png of your genmate, and slap it in the video. It's even better if its an ex-member
False was there the entire stream so he's already was clipping it. He probably be asleep though for LM second stream though.
I think it tips more towards employee than IC. You have mandatory meetings/reports that you can be punished for not attending/submitting, the employer able to command performance, the money flowing through the employer before reaching the talent, the talent being held out as a part of the company, the lack of authority to delegate your performance without approval, and, probably the biggest of all, the exclusivity requirement.
Agreed, judge don't need to even bother finding out what vtuber is and what industry standard practice are, the text of this contract says that it's employee thrice over.
a voice actress on the internet is going to be restricted by the nature of the job. is a judge going to get pissy that niji said they have to stream on youtube or had to fly to japan for some gay meeting? if they used american lawyers probably not. but we won't know until someone sues their company.
You are unironlically retarded. Exclusivity clause alone puts them firmly into employee category in any jurisdiction, nature of the job is irrelevant.
If they really wanted to be slick, they could DM a talent like 3mins before they have a stream scheduled and just load it with A LOT of shit. Like have a manager say, "so we have a meeting at x time with y people, you have that con meet'n'greet at this date, blah blah blah", then sneak in the 3 lines or paragraph they're changing to the contract, and then throwing something else to end it. The talent is likely going to be like "oh, it's just scheduling shit", decide to read it later, and then start their stream, resulting in them unknowingly signing off to it. I didn't watch the LM stream but that section alone is the very definition of "don't sign this contract".Niji can send them an amendment, then retweet something using their accounts, therefore making them accept anything they want immediately
They don't have much options other than give phones to livers. From what I heard their tech (and Holo) relies heavily on special sensors that come with newer iPhones, and that android phone or regular cameras simply wouldn't have. Which is why a regular streamer may not see much difference between the two, but for them using regular camera makes tracking all kinds of glitchy (and we've seen it with Calli when she started out, because she would regularly forget to charge the phone and had a whole stream with webcam once). I've also heard more than once that if they lose a phone or it breaks, they have to specifically request a new phone from HQ, they can't just buy it and get compensated later. Which makes me believe the live2d tracking software is installed locally with no way of doing it remotely for security reasons
Judging by the ever declining numbers of last gens - turning around and going to an agency next door IS a better option
They can send it while stream is ongoing and it'll be technically considered as accept. Doesn't matter, this paragraph is vague non-enforcable and/or illegal bullshit anyway.
Yep, iphones are king, and specifically pre-covid OS versions that track actual mouth. Later they switched to extrapolation algorythm that works with masks, which is obviously worse. Though even with best tracking, its best to mix face tracking with mic audio, especially if your mimic is not expressive enough.
