Do you think graduated/terminated corporate vtubers hang on to their models even though they can't use them anymore? Like I'm sure they're probably told to get rid of them but if I were them I'd back up that shit on a USB or something, especially if it's a really good model. Then imagine years from now the company dies because setting aside the companies that are already dying, there is no way that vtuber corporations as a whole will last forever. Then when there's nobody that can sue you, you pull out the old model and go "Surprise! I'm back."

just because the corpo dies doesn't mean the IP ceases to be owned by someone. look into how bankruptcies work and how everything is sold off, especially IP

her current models are infinitely better than corpo slop could ever dream to be

The design is good but the model is a good example of how there's such a thing as "too animated." She always looks like she's chewing on something because it picks up every miniscule movement her mouth makes.

Matara accidently showed her desktop shortly after she debuted and still had a bunch of Niji stuff on her PC. Copyright lasts for something ridiculous like 75 years, so I doubt you could actually use the model even if you still had it though.

Models are handled server side for Hololive and Niji

I do wonder what the bare minimum of changes you could make to the model would be to call it legally distinct.

Holo streamer's models are accessed through an app, that's why Laplace one time (accidentally) spoiled Botan's fluffy-hood outfit.

because she snacks throughout the whole stream, so what you see is accurate tracking. as for what amounts and how she stays thin, check some clips from her subathon.

I mean, Sayu wasn't sued by Niji for showing Totally Not Zaion in her lore video.

Yeah, they probably have it, but it's a legal nightmare to ever let anyone else see them.
I'd assume you'd need to send the model or something over during collabs, too.

Sayu IS always chewing on something. Her desk is about 80% snacks 20% cat.

No reason not to hang on to it but there's a huge legal risk in making your brand a character that you have no actual rights to. If you get really popular someone could always go back and buy the rights from whoever owns the remnants of the dead corporation and then extort you for a bunch of money.

Actually, it's until the death of the creator + 70 years or so years. For corpos, it's a bit different, but it's still stupid like this.

Well, yes. Don't know Japanese copyright lengths, but Japan doesn't do copyright in the same way the West does. So your bound to see something bonkers too.

For small corpos, they probably do have their old models stored somewhere, but for niji/holo who don't use vtube studio but their own app instead, it probably isn't possible. Their models were probably linked to some account that got locked once they left, or their model files were encrypted and can only be opened with their company software

>> No.76131639

>>76131243
Wait so is this why they're always having tech issues, because they're required to connect to some internet service to use their models and if it's having trouble then they're screwed? It's like how Denuvo is proven to make games run worse. No wonder they always seem so vague about it, it's the company's fault but they can't openly blame them.
