  • b. The Original Agreements and Operative Agreements grant Claimant the right to make derivative works of the Programs and Robotech, including live action motion picture adaptations, and Claimant has not produced any unlicensed works;
  • c. The 2003-A is valid and binding on Respondent, and Claimant has been granted therein all of Respondent's copyright rights in Macross, except for the visual depiction of the original 41 animated graphic characters from the underlying Program, pursuant thereto;
  • d. The Operative Agreements grant Claimant the express right to sublicense its rights as it chooses, and Claimant has neither breached said agreements nor infringed on Respondent's rights by entering into such sublicenses;

The Operative Agreements grant Claimant the express right to exploit the Programs and any derivative works in all media, including digital, and Claimant has not breached said agreement nor infringed on Respondent's rights by exploiting the Programs and related derivative works in digital media;

The Operative Agreements grant Claimant the right to exploit the Programs and any derivative works through sublicensing of music and clips, and Claimant has neither breached the agreement nor infringed on Respondent's rights by exploiting the Programs and related derivative works through such sublicenses;
  • g. Claimant owes no royalties for home video exploitation pursuant to the 1991-LA as same are part of the flat license fee for visual rights;

  • i. To the date of the last royalty statement or audited date, Claimant has fully accounted for all royalties owed to Respondent except for the amount of $42,543 which Claimant is to account for and/or to pay to Respondent forthwith subject to any continuing proper offsets.

2. Relief Granted in favor of Respondent

  • a. Claimant's right to use the Programs for production and/or exploitation of new works expires on March 14, 2021 along with any extant sublicenses as all rights to the Programs revert back to Respondent at that time.
  • b. Upon expiration of the term of the Operative Agreements, the Claimant no longer has any right to use or exploit derivative works produced during the term, which contain portions of the Programs, as rights to the Programs revert back to Respondent at that time.
  • c. Claimant has no permanent, exclusive, and irrevocable copyright and trademark rights in the Programs as same shall belong to Respondent on expiration of the term in 2021;
  • d. Upon expiration of the term, Respondent shall have the right and option to disaffirm/cancel any existing licenses, assignments and/or other agreements extending beyond the term as may have been entered into by Claimant with others granting any rights in and to the Programs;
  • e. Claimant is to pay to Respondent the sum of $42,543 as a result of the audit subject to any remaining proper offset rights due to the Big West legal fee expenditure.

3. The award of all costs of the arbitration is to be determined in the sole discretion of the Arbitrator in accordance with paragraph 14 of the Rules as the Operative Agreements do not provide any guidance regarding same. At the close of the Hearing on May 19, 2017 the Arbitrator advised the parties in writing that: Legal fees are to be reasonable and directly related to this arbitration but need not be the same for each firm as, for example, pay scales, number of attorneys working on the matter, etc., may be different. The Arbitrator determines that it is appropriate to consider only costs directly relating this arbitration and not the prior arbitration and mediation on this matter. Thus, the Arbitrator finds that Claimant, as the predominantly prevailing party, is entitled to recover and Respondent owes Claimant such costs as adjusted by the Arbitrator in the total amount of $848,708 which consists of Claimant's legal fees, allowed by Arbitrator as being reasonable, in the amount of $711,930 and Claimant's costs of $136,778 which include its share of both IFTA filing fees of $1,100 and Arbitrator fees of $25,612.

4. This Award is in full resolution and settlement of all claims and counter claims submitted to this Arbitration. All claims and counter claims not expressly granted herein are hereby denied.

5. This Award may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute together one and the same instrument.

Made in Abyss - 11

A very necessary calm episode after the cringefest (in a good sense) that was episode 10.

Nanachi truly is the fluffiest.

Matsuda best character. He'll never die.

I wish there was a bit more time in the last episode. We never heard Konatsu's rakugo after all.

I thought this was going to be the last episode, I was surprised when it ended with a cliffhanger. I was also starting to forget Yoichi isn't the protagonist, eh.



Why would you want to skip it? VS isn't even
that
good.

Whyd that have to happen to Yoichi, but yeah for a while it did feel like it became Yoichi's thing while Tomo was being Tomo. Glad its back.

I hope for an S2, no way we got through the whole novels.

But part of the appeal for me is the world and the Abyss. Unless EO has something similar.



Nina's story arc has really put me off on the series as a whole. I think I was good on it until
she basically ignored all of the terrible shit Chris has, is, and will continue to do to everyone, including those close to her.
Maybe the last few episodes will bring me back in.

I mean, last week's episode put an end to that though.

Trigger has a clear identity and love for their craft as a studio. A-1 Pictures is just an anime factory that polishes poop such as Aldnoha Zero, Sword Art Online, Asterisk War, etc.

This is such a questionable statement with such different operating directors like Imaishi and Yoshinari alone.

Well that ep did a great job of raising new questions. The peek at the other White Whistle and Nanchi's association with him was the foremost but equally as important was whether or not Reg was programmed to be horny for Nanchi or just exercising his free will.

For the Rage of the Bahamut: Virgin Soul recs, is it necessary to watch the prior series or can we just jump straight into this one?
Click to expand...

I guess you could but like 80% of supporting characters come from og series. In certain situations you'd have little idea where they're coming from are or what's their relationship.

haly was trying to get me to watch Tsurezure Children but all he had to do was mention it was a short which he did not so I didn't watch it

Well to be absolutely clear, they're ~12 minutes long shorts (?).

It's pretty somber but not really depressing.

The Made in Abyss anime is at chapter 20. There are 42 chapters in all. It'll likely end at chapter 24-26.

I can see them making an inconclusive second season or an original end.

Yeah, I saw and I'm fine with that since, as we all know, anime episodes are ideally 2-12 minutes or 48 minutes plus with anything outside of this range being rather suspect.
