In recent years, the number of VTubers and YouTubers has been growing rapidly with the development of streaming platforms like YouTube.

To become a VTuber or YouTuber, it is expected that various contracts will be necessary, such as an outsourcing agreement with creators for the production of illustrations, 2D models and 3D models.
As areas of activities expand, there will be an increase in the number of cases where various contracts are executed with agencies which include agreements for collaboration streams and contracts regarding the appointment of ‘ambassadors’.
If contracts are executed without reviewing the content carefully, there is a possibility of unexpected disadvantages.
If the deal is made without a written contract, proving its terms would be difficult. For instance, it will be difficult to make any litigation claim against a party that violates the agreement.

In addition, regulations of streaming platforms have been revised recently, as such VTubers and YouTubers have to develop even greater awareness of the Terms of Service of the streaming platforms.

To address these legal issues, one option is to seek support from legal professionals. GVA LPC has attorneys who are familiar with matters related to VTubers and YouTubers.
