Chapter 1868 - Summer Comiket 4 (1/2)

”Well, yes, that's it. I don't want to see these peripherals in the market in the future. Please deal with them.”

Even though Haru had said that he was going to the toilet, in truth, he was going to the smoking area, but because all those people were struggling to buy their goods in this event, no one came over to smoke and relax, so he was here alone, so he came to this place without hesitation.

After he hung up the phone, Haru shook his head, and when he was about to leave, Maki's voice suddenly came over from the door.

”Haru, why do you want to remove all the Muse's goods?”

Entering the smoking room, Maki looked at Haru with an incomprehensible gaze, wondering why he did that.

With her personality, even though she didn't care much about fame and money, this was her first time seeing the popularity of Muse was so popular that there were a lot of goods about them being sold in this event.

Maki was quite excited, but Haru wanted to remove all of them!

If Haru didn't have a good reason then Maki would smack him now!

”Well, you have heard it, so I won't keep it a secret.” Haru had noticed Maki and didn't really think much, even if she eavesdropped on his conversation before. ”It's because of copyright.”

”Copyright?”

”When these peripherals were in production, did they get your authorization?”

When Maki shook her head, Haru continued with his explanation. ”So all the existence of these commodities itself is illegal. Even if they're sold, you won't get a penny, so I let them take them off from the booth, isn't it normal?”

”But we don't care about the money, and this isn't a good way to increase our popularity, right?”

Maki's idea was simple. The reason why they created a school idol group was because of their own reason and everyone's recognition. They didn't care much about money or anything, so naturally, they didn't care about the copyrights and the like.

Regardless of whether it was pirated or genuine, as long as more people knew them and liked them, they didn't overthink about the pirated goods.

This was what Maki and everyone at Muse thought.

It was also the reason why there was a large number of pirated goods of the school idols in the market.

Because those school idol groups were all free groups and they didn't have an agency company, so if something like this happened, no one would stand up to defend their rights.

For them, they hoped to promote themselves and make their popularity bigger, but at the same time, even if they wanted to sue them through legal channels, they didn't have the money to afford the lawyer, and even if they succeeded, the compensation they received wouldn't be enough for the lawyer fee, so they could only close their eyes over this matter.

”Maki, I understand your thoughts, but...” Haru shook his head and said, ”But what you see now are only badges and posters, but in case someone makes a sex doll with your image one day, what will you do?”

”S - Sex doll?!”

Maki was shocked by Haru's words, and she had never expected such a possibility. Her delicate and beautiful face was blushing, and she shook her head again and again. ”No, no, sex doll? It's too much, and there's no way, right?”

”No, believe me.”

Haru shook his head and said, ”As your reputation grows bigger and bigger, those businessmen can do a lot of things as long as they're profitable, so we must show a tough attitude on this matter.”

”.....”

Maki was persuaded, and as long as she thought that she would be made into a sex doll and behind held in arms by those disgusting people... she shuddered and quickly asked, ”But what about the goods outside of the event?” She knew that Haru might be able to take down the goods at the event, but what about the outside?
