Hello everyone!
Um, my English is not very good, so forigve me if I make any mistake; but I thing this matter needs to be addressed.
So, in the screencap above is the official page for Fuyu Matsuri - an A/M-Cosplay Events in my country, Vietnam (like the AFA o conventions in the US). They actually is the same agency that organize Haru - Natsu - Aki Matsuri (4 seasons accordingly), but I’ll just talk about this one.
So, as you can see, the post I have screencapped talked about Otaku Theater - in which they would show many 2.5D stages and musicals in a large screen for people inside the events to see.
Wonderful, right? Except, I don’t think they have the rights to do this. First of all, I doubt if they buy actual DVDs. Fuyu Matsuri is held in two cities, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. I went to the Hanoi event, and watched Naruto Stage, Kuromyu 3, Tokyou Ghoul stage, K stage there. They only showed clips from these stages, and the quality of the videos are fairly low; 99,9% they downloaded these stages from these lovely users on tumblr, or in communities like Tenimyu, etc …
Moreover, even if they did buy the DVDs, do they actually have the right to do this? This is not a non-profit event; they do sell tickets and there’re also money from food/goods booths.
I am absolutely outraged (I want to cry) but I honestly don’t know what to do, or how to investigate further for information. My friend commented on their post ages ago, asked about their rights to do this, but the comment was deleted.
I am posting this here to hear your opinions, and I hope that the 2.5D community can do something, because for now - I am alone and useless.
Please share and help!
Thank you so much for reading.
