Copyright law is unfair and a bit silly. We can fix it to be the tool creators deserve. And now might be the time to get ready to take action.

Observations of the VTuber scene – 4 years later
4 years ago, I wrote a blog post on the VTuber scene. Since then, I've learned a lot. Let's go through the old thing once more.
