[9:43 PM] Vini: >guy makes "remixes" and ""produces"" beats for some weeb group a couple years back
[9:44 PM] Vini: >one of said things is literally a song from ShibayanReconds' TOHO BOSSA NOVA 2, with a very basic trap beat slapped on top
[9:44 PM] Vini: >gets called something based on that one you're already dead meme
[9:44 PM] Vini: >uses that one character from non non biyori for its cover
[9:45 PM] Vini: >guy never really bothered to list the fact that the song was "a remix" or anything
[9:45 PM] Vini: >2 years later, a minecraft meme involving parrots becomes popular
[9:45 PM] Vini: >uses that shitty trap mix thing
[9:46 PM] Vini: >Song becomes popular enough to reach the top of Spotify's list
[9:46 PM] Vini: >Song ENDED UP on spotify in the first place
[9:47 PM] Vini: >everyone praises the guy for "producing" this thing
[9:47 PM] Vini: >Gets an interview from Rolling Stone when the song is first taken down
[9:48 PM] Vini: >Rolling stone believes that he "sampled the song"
[9:48 PM] Vini: >Weebs get even more butthurt, myself included
[9:48 PM] Vini: >Shibayan tries to chime in and gets the original song uploaded to youtube
[9:49 PM] Vini: >everything more or less goes well as the song was taken down
[9:49 PM] Vini: >Except it doesnt
[9:50 PM] Vini: >A Google funded company pays Deadman 5k alongside another dude, Lilsomething who aparently rapped on top of that shit separatedly
[9:51 PM] Vini: >The song goes back to the Top of Spotify, but this time, because of this Company, the song is now secured on youtube through ContentID, meaning Deadman is LITERALLY MAKING MONEY OUT OF THIS
[9:51 PM] Vini: >The company ends up shilling the song to Radios across europe and at least some in the US
[9:51 PM] Vini: >THE SONG LITERALLY GETS PLAYED IN THE RADIO
[9:54 PM] Vini: heres the thing
[9:54 PM] Vini: United Fuckos never actually got permision
[9:54 PM] Vini: or rather
[9:54 PM] Vini: they believed asking Shibayan was the way to go
[9:55 PM] Vini: but the song is a 2hu song arrangement
[9:55 PM] Vini: in any case
[9:55 PM] Vini: Shibayan cant give them permission because he doesnt really own shit
[9:55 PM] Vini: or rather
[9:55 PM] Vini: hes subjected to ZUN's doujin guidelines
[9:55 PM] THE レイプ WHISTLE: shibayan kinda just shrugs at them
[9:55 PM] Vini: which means for him
[9:57 PM] Vini: a) he cannot counter claim Omae Wa Mou being in the contentID system affecting vids that contain HIS song, because doing so means getting money from ad revenue out of said song, which goes against ZUN's guidelines
[9:57 PM] Vini: b) He really cannot do anything about Deadman on a legal sense because the only one who can contest the usage of the song is actually ZUN himself
[9:58 PM] Vini: on the other hand
[9:59 PM] Vini: this is basically what i was getting to
[10:00 PM] Vini: its Heavily implied that the company doesnt really know that original song is an arrangement tied to someone else's franchise
[10:01 PM] Vini: in fact
[10:01 PM] Vini: the company could face some legal problems for more than just the fact that they're breaking ZUN's guidelines
[10:02 PM] Vini: they're also probably infringing Kadokawa's copyright
[10:02 PM] Vini: because of what i said earlier
[10:02 PM] Vini: the song uses a character from Non Non biyori as the album art
[10:03 PM] Vini: and im pretty sure Kadokawa is a very stubborn bunch when someone is doing stuff that they wouldnt like
[10:03 PM] Vini: so if ZUN isnt getting involved
[10:03 PM] Vini: then Kadokawa is
[10:03 PM] Vini: so yeah
[10:04 PM] Vini: for now, they are pretty much getting away with things
