@Alizarinnne@pandapoohkuma I would never waste my time reporting other fans like they do. I’m just pointing out their double standards, nothing more. I only tagged Yuzu to bluff them. We all know he’s not free to deal with trivial matters the way they are.
@Alizarinnne@pandapoohkuma Besides, speaking of lawsuits. Japanese fans claim that reposting and translating photos is illegal, yet Anan magazine never took legal action against us. Therefore, you cannot judge whether an act is reasonable based on whether a lawsuit is filed.
@Alizarinnne@pandapoohkuma As you said, filing a lawsuit takes a great deal of effort. But we cannot treat this conduct as legitimate or permitted just because Yuzuru has not taken legal action. Do you get it?
@Alizarinnne@pandapoohkuma But the person in the picture is Yuzu. Anyone who intends to print and sell this photo must obtain Yuzu’s personal approval, otherwise they will infringe upon his portrait rights. The photographer only holds the copyright, not the portrait rights. This is basic legal knowledge.
True. Here part of my Yuzu collection.
I've been a fanyu since fall '21, but started buying when he turned pro. I shouldn't have bought so much, but I did because it's hard to resist once you see the pics, so I end up buying stuff I'd previously dismissed because of the price 🫣
@tomakiko1@joboji You claim we are ruining Yuzuru's career? It is you who are driving away his fans and hurting his commercial value that are truly trampling on his career.
@tomakiko1@joboji Also, if reposting and translating excerpts from articles counts as infringement, then isn’t using Yuzuru’s image and name for commercial sales without permission an even more serious violation? Why do you ignore this behavior?
@MartinaFrammart@starfishh127 Besides, we all know Yuzuru has hardly appeared on Japan TV in the past two years, and there was absolutely no promotion for his ice shows. That makes sharing updates about him online even more important.
@MartinaFrammart@starfishh127 In this traffic-driven era, overly strict copyright rules that put everything behind paywalls will make it increasingly hard to attract new fans
@Alizarinnne What are you talking about? The person you ought to blame is the one driving away Yuzuru's fans, not me. Besides, I wouldn't even bother with him if he hadn't kicked up such a huge fuss.
