> - Cover asked him to stop making R18 Hololive content since he's now an official artist
> - He asked to meet or talk to Marine, which Cover refused
> - What >>11869057 said
>At the time, the whole Taiwan incident was still going on in full force, his "manager" on Bilibili made a livestream on the Mizuryu Kei channel, and talked about how much he got fucked over by Cover and how they shouldn't be trusted by anyone you can't own a Bilibili account or even do business at all in China if you're not chinese yourself, which is why this dude is here
>He realized that things were going WAAAAAY too far, so he deleted his angry tweets, asked everyone to not harass the girls and made a post on Bilibili saying that what his manager said in that stream aren't his opinions
>But too late, Chinks started using him as a symbol against Hololive, the girls started getting harassed even harder, and at some point, even Marine was getting harassed as well

In only few hours, the dude went from being angry at Cover and making a few pissed off tweets to being a symbol against Hololive, and finally ended up being both a pariah and a Nanking denier.

There are vtubers in fucking third-world muslim-majority indonesia, there's no artist that doesn't know about vtubing even in third-world countries. Also, they still can fucking DMCA you if you don't put on contract that you want the commercial rights to the model and good luck counter-suing them overseas.

You don't fully own the right to that piece of artwork since the rights to the character belong to Cover - in other words, you should be glad that they understand there's a mutual benefit here and didn't decided to take it down and sue you for copyright infringement.

You could maybe buy a game, most likely you're not and instead you're buying a license to it, and maybe you can stream it for profit if the contract you made with the game seller doesn't prohibit it.
If you commission a piece of art, you're buying a license to use the art, under the license's terms. Copyright (read: ownership) remains with the artist unless they also sell it to you.

Also ridiculous that he claims that the nature of vtubing produces reputational fame as if that always translates into any monetary gain, when they're making the point that it doesn't in the same paragraph.

Just say stealing if that's what you mean, because that's what you're advocating.

You're keep saying some nonsensical thing about attracting commercial clients, but that makes absolutely no sense in this context because that's exactly what they did, they attracted a commercial client, but the client didn't want to fully pay so they stole it.

I don't think that's what OP's post is saying. They're saying that in exchange for exposure, they don't expect to pay a commercial fee.

I didn't want to be too verbose so I simplified it, maybe too much. The deepest nested person isn't saying they stole it, they're saying they think they should be able to pay with exposure instead, and they avoid artists that don't reflect that. However the least nested person isn't specifically talking about that person, but making a tangential general point that even if you don't agree with the terms, if you're using a model commercially, you still need to pay what the artist charges for that, i.e., theft is not ok just because you don't like the artist's payment model.

That is only true if it's a trademark, anyone can make fanart of characters and own them if not. Getting a character trademarked requires an expensive process proving that the character is unique and also represents the brand.

What they have is a discount for private use.
Making another copy of the software takes literally zero effort, so why not give a discount to people who don't plan to make money with it?
It also helps with spreading the software among those who may be needing this kind of software professionally in the future.
Giving a discount for private use is just a tool to sell more software at the normal price.

This is closer to the truth than you realize. Remington is currently being sued for selling the rifle used in a mass shooting almost a decade ago. If they had set the price of that gun high enough to deter the shooter from buying it, they wouldn't be litigating hundreds of millions in damages. There is a reputational risk that an artist takes when contracting with commercial clients that warrants a higher fee to discourage "bad actors" from associating the art with the artist. Imagine drawing a bunch of furry porn for personal commissions, getting a more mainstream art job, and then having furries sell a book of furry porn by "mainstream artist" that damages your ability to make anything but more furry porn.
But your example has no bearing on the topic because art has never been part of a traditional consumer market. The fact is that no one commissions "an art" the way you buy a hammer or a rifle. If in the process of negotiating a contract to commission stream assets you lie about their intended commercial use, you fucked up and may have to pay many times more to defend yourself in the legal system than you would have just paying the artist for commercial use.

This is ridiculous. Do you think companies should charge artists the same reputational risk if the artist goes nuts? Or from an example earlier in the thread, do you think it would be sensible for companies to charge a reputational fee if an artist wants to draw derivative works to post on twitter just in case they draw x character in a negative light?

>Imagine drawing a bunch of furry porn for personal commissions, getting a more mainstream art job, and then having furries sell a book of furry porn by "mainstream artist" that damages your ability to make anything but more furry porn.
Then you clearly state that all reproductive rights of your drawing are yours when you do the commission and take the toss whenever someone decides not to commission you because of it.

>If in the process of negotiating a contract to commission stream assets you lie about their intended commercial use, you fucked up and may have to pay many times more to defend yourself in the legal system than you would have just paying the artist for commercial use.
His, probably, intended point is making up fees post hoc that aren't covered under an original contract. While a lot of commissioned art has a formal contract these days, many still don't. When you buy a hammer, there's no clause stating that if you do x you have to pay an extra fee. He's saying that when you buy x, all associated copyright with that product should be yours.

Because most of the time the people splitting their commercial/non-commercial prices didn't start out as professional artists. Many artists don't draw a distinction between the two and just don't do personal commissions at all. Others don't have enough commercial work and/or want to work for more money so they lower their prices in a way that non-businesses can afford it. Then the rest are almost exclusively non-commercial, but realize that a business is simply willing to pay that much more, so if one contacts you, why not take the money?

There are tons of artists who complain that other artists are offering their work for too little and dragging all the prices down. Even more people who complain whenever requesters try to bargain down prices. I don't understand how someone can work by market principles when working with businesses, but suddenly disregard those same principles for a "living wage" when not.

This case is I assume first worlder crying that an artist asked them extra in advance for work they intend to make money off. And they for some reason expected "personal use only" discount for it.

Your example of "bad artist" is literally the same person as the "client" in this case. Nobody fucking doubts that there are shitty people on both sides, it's just that this time, the entitled brat was the mister tranny exposure bucks.

>If I buy a game the game is now mine, I'll play it wherever I please, I'll stream it and make a profit if I please.
I agree with the rest of what you said but this example is obviously silly. Here's what you're overlooking. (You), the consumer, do not ever actually buy a game, buying the game would entail covering the cost of creating it (millions of dollars). You buy the right to play it, which costs almost nothing. You will never own the game, you just own permissions to do certain things. If you want to stream it you have to buy the rights to stream it.

This doesn't work for little Twitter artists because the cost to create the art is just their hourly price, so when you buy the art it is reasonable to expect to fully own the product, the same way you expect to own bread since you fully covered the cost of producing it plus profit for the producer.

If an artist wants to charge more because he thinks the client is gonna get rich and their art is worth it then sure, the client has the choice to find someone cheaper. I don't think the artist ever deserves to come back after the client is rich and demand reparations however

The "commercial fee" establishes nothing. It's a pricing structure that should inform whatever contract you sign. The contract should include language clarifying whether it's "work for hire" or "personal use only" or includes whatever type of commercial use etc. If you breach the contract then maybe you get fucked. That's why lawanon suggested "work for hire", which in the US at least is the most favorable "Superman movies don't owe shit to the guys who created Superman" type of arrangement.

As of now, it's still fairly murky as to what how far fair use goes in this case. As of now, it's not really hotly contested (although Atlus among others are starting to rock the boat in this regard) whether it's covered or not. I've seen some people say people should have to have "licenses" to stream at all, and others say they bought the rights to play the game themselves, so they should be allowed to stream it too. For plot driven games live visual novels or something, it gets way too ambiguous to tell right now, for the most part everyone just does it anyway.

Under US law that's fine, because they specifically state "derivative works". Those do not have their own copyright and are owned by the original IP holder.

However, not all fan works are "derivative works", some are "transformative" and can acquire their own copyright, in which case using it would be copyright violation on the part of Cover. Something like a fan manga that has an original plot is likely transformative.

This might be off topic but which artist has done the most art for a single chuuba?

Officially? Dunno.
@QbcjbryEbOHdJr8 on Twitter can shit like dozen of fanarts a week for Kyoutto, Shimo and other small lolitubers.

Exactly. Framing price structure as an "investment" in the market or the commissioning chuuba is only useful for artists than can afford the risk of investing. The kind of artists that 2views can afford to commission cannot be expected to take losses when the 2view fails.

>I have no problem with the price being determined by who you sell it to.
Clearly you do, since you hate the idea of them selling it more expensive to people that want to use it commercially.

The you don't invest, you charge premium for relinquinshing rights to that art in advance and fuck it. In the wild case they start making more money negotiate your next commissions better, because you were part of his success odds are they will come back to you.

>And that companies (or triple digit views) that don't want to deal with this shit will try to contract at a higher initial price point to not have to deal with fees bullshit.
Professional artists that are dealing with businesses will have the commercial fee as apart of the package. A business isn't commissioning shit for non-commercial use.
