Vtuber using art without permission and not crediting, what can be done?
Hello
One of my friend is an artist, who is trying to make a living from it.
They realized a Vtuber making ASMR videos used their commissioned art without permission and had no credit.
They contacted the person, asking them to remove the art but got no response. The person is still active on the platform. My friend didn't want their identity to be revealed by filing a copyright claim form.
I went to check the channel myself, to see if this is some one time issue. I found many otherof examples of commissioned art taken only few credited and even directly from mobile games, copyrighted art, not credited! (I reverse searched pictures and found artist names, but none credited).
My friend is right now stressed that their work is used without credit, for characters that does not match with intentions for when making this.
I went and contacted another artist that wasn't credited, and was told some of those are even hiden behind some paid subcription on another platform (uncredited). And another left comment for the similar issue.
How can I help my friend in this case?
(I added some example screnshot to the post)
Thank you.
