>I make something using someone else's property, I therefore do not own it and they do
I mean that is the consistent principle at work. I don't agree with it but I don't really believe in profiting off art anyway.

Of course, Hololive is a corporation and thus adheres strictly to capitalist thought.

>conveniently ignores the use of Seuss's estate property in the song

Even Ame's reading of it is iffy, but too much effort to go after since its a member stream with no indication that she was going to do it beforehand, or advertisement afterwards, she didn't read the whole thing, etc. But mostly, not too much exposure until Holobass did the song.

You know what happens to Seuss stuff that gets too much exposure?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqIbEHNqbPs

Nearly five million views. Why is this unlisted now? Well, the Seuss Estate grabbed basically all the stuff he did and shifted it to their channel. Probably destroyed his appeal to the algorithm in the process; he rapidly decayed back to 2view level.

Cover would be goddamned idiots to help Holobass duke it out with an IP-centric entity that practically exists just to sue people and reprint the same shit over and over again.

isnt that the rule for most cases too? for fnaf scott cawthon was incredibly generous to allow the fans to essentially copy paste his game and his characters into shit but for most other companies they're gonna put copyright infringement on those kinds of fan content

You fucked up holobass, you could have been mixing songs for some holos rn if you didn’t screw it up. Had both Dr Seuss and Hololive in the song, Cover was never going to let it get monetized

Do you mean this, which is what was played on stream? It has no vocals in it and he made it, so it was actually 100% in his ability to strike shit but he didn't. And before you say he threatened to, he specifically said he wouldn't, just stated he could.

Cover was perfectly happy to let him keep the song on his own Youtube channel and let him get all the view revenue from it. They can pretend they don't know about it, no matter how popular it got. It's not their fault this guy used their content to make his song, and it's not their fault it blew up. He even bragged about it paying off his student bills.

But when you move it to music streaming services you've moved out of hobbyist territory, and if his song gets the same amount of success there - a million plays or two - Seuss will start taking notice. They'll ask, "Hey, who participated in this? Who sang this? Who allowed you to use our IP?" Since Holobass was trying to drag Cover in as an active participant, sure, they get their share of the 'profits' - which let's be real, is not going to be more than a few thousand dollars - but they also get responsibility for it. Cover is a far juicier target to go after than a solo one-hit mixer, and the Seuss estate practically has nothing else to do but litigate and appeal forever. It's how their lawyers keep their jobs. They're happy to fight court battles even if they end in defeat - in the end they still get paid, and it sends a warning signal to other people that they take their IP seriously. Cover doesn't care about any of that. It's not like if they win the lawsuit the song is going to make even 50K. It just ties up resources and complicates their image for nothing.

So if you keep poking the conservative Japanese company to stop waffling and make a decision, what do you think you're going to get? Of course they're going to say no.
