Anycolor and Vox Akuma Apologize for Copyright Infringement Claims

Anycolor and Nijisanji English Vtuber Vox Akuma shared apologies to Claynosaurz on social media after falsely claiming and reporting Claynosaurz Inc for copyright infringement. The company and performer alleged the other company stole music from “The Demon Hungers.” 

In the statement, Anycolor announced that it mistook music in Claynosaurz’ “Mountain Whales” for some from “The Demon Hungers.” It then filed for theft and alleged copyright infringement. However, after that Vox’s statement also said after recognizing the part of the track, he “assumed” it was stolen. Both Anycolor and the Nijisanji Vtuber noted they retracted claims after investigation showed both Claynosaurz and Anycolor had purchased the rights to use said song legitimately and issued apologies.

Here is Anycolor’s apology and statement about the situation, which appeared in both Japanese and English.

And here is the apology and statement from Nijisanji English Vtuber Vox Akuma. Like Anycolor’s, it is also available in both languages.
