S A V E ! M O N A R
The problem occurred when "Wata" who is a Flash creater made "Mayahee" flash.
At first, she used Monar, Onigiri and so on.
For a while after she opens Flash to the public, "Avex" which is a proposed to her, "Let's market Flash with CD".
She accepted.
They thought that the impression of Monar is not good at the people.
She rewrote the face of Monar a little and ended opening old Flash to the public.
They named it "Drinker Cat".
It is a pretender only of rewriting the face of Monar!!!
However, AVEX insists it is original on this!!
In addition, it is advertised as a mascot character of 2ch like Monar!!!
AA including Monar is a community property!!!No one can own it!!
They try to gain money preying on "nameless people on BBS".
If Monar is marketed as Monar, we would say OK.
We cannot allow that they pretended an original work the character which plagiarized Monar!!!
Help us!! Help Monar!!
I hope a lot of people to know this.
To dear friends in the other side of sea.

Is this her: http://www.imgup.org/file/iup82713.jpg ?
Got some links?
No, It's not her.
It's Drinker Cat.
Avex said they I added the originality to Monar and made Drinker Cat.
They are crazy!!
Drinker Cat has no originality!!
Look!

right:AA of 2ch

left:Drinker Cats of Avex
They established the company which has a copyright of Drinker Cat and told a lie.
The company's name is "ZEN".

のまネコ = Drinker Cat
I am pretty sure anyone who actually *cares* what the cat's name is knows that it is Monar.
A few weeks ago, I visited a middle school in southern Japan. A kid with thick glasses drew a cat saying "noma-noma-iei" on the blackboard. But it was AA style, surely he knew 2ch. I verified this by drawing Shii for him, which got a rather surprised reaction. The other kids in the class didn't care what it was, they just liked the song and soramimi.
Also, not all companies hijack 2ch artwork and call it their own. I saw that cell-phone ad on TV with all the "kitaaaaa" AA. That was clearly a reference and not plagarism.
It kind of depends whether you do it in a respectful manner.
At least tapping your hat into the direction from where you got your material
seems reasonable, I believe.
>>I visited a middle school in southern Japan
fucking pedo
