Go for it Anon, don’t let your dreams be dreams. Just remember that backing out of a case you aren’t winning gay and you should extend the case.

You can, just make sure to file the suit in area which population don't like the vtuber to get juries that are in you favor

If it's the parody of a persona, no, if it's blatant the same character you better get a lawyer

Absolutely.
Will it go anywhere? No, they'll throw it out of court and fine you for wasting everyone's time.

In America, at least, you can sue anyone for anything without any legal consequence.
Whether that case gets heard or you just get laughed out of the courtroom is a different question.

>> No.56658261

>>56654771
Are they also posing as that fictional character, using assets from them, and saying they are the official Vtuber version of said character? Because unless that is happening, you cannot hold a copyright on a personality.

>> No.56661552

>>56654771
Probably if you're the rights holder, but I don't know what legal criteria you'd have to satisfy to win
