    Title taken from spacebattles thread.

    https://www.theouterhaven.net/2021/01/shueisha-issuing-copyright-strikes-for-all-of-their-titles/

    So yeah, if you got fanwork you liked on pixiv yet and it hasn't been taken down yet, GO SAVE IT NOW.

    Even goddamn official artists are being hit.

    EDIT: Turns out it was an hoax. Crisis averted!

    Evangelion really opened the floodgate with companies getting websites to remove their fanart.

    I'm assuming it's due to a bot (not you lol) targeting anything from their owned media, given how even official artists are getting copyright struck as well. They made the bot, hoped it'd work, and it's working in a way they really didn't intend.

    The real question is, do they care if the automated bot continues on its path?

    At this point I'm actually lowkey hoping that companies double down on this type of insane crackdown, which would only further erode their positions in the long run and accelerate the balkanization of media & pop culture... and thus encourage more original content.

    Wonder how are they supposed to tell words of their creative makers when they can't even afford to localize most of their titles globally in good quality. It'll be a sad day when I see new talents squished before they could even bud merely because nobody can see their efforts.

    Part of it is that stuff like anime, manga, and their gaming franchises have become something akin to cultural identity. Combined with them being insane sources of revenue and you got a combination of reasons as to why they wish to protect them so badly.

    As a result, they've become increasingly protective of their intellectual property with them passing so many anti-piracy laws.

    Featuring more of the same, but with updated Roasters.

    Shueisha recently stated on ANN that they weren't copyright striking people on twitter, so yeah it was a third-party.
