The company asked a court for disclosure of the poster's sender information, and the court granted the request. Using the disclosed information, ANYCOLOR filed a damages claim, and the settlement obligated the poster to pay 1 million yen. ANYCOLOR said the case covered infringement of honor and feelings, and that it is pursuing multiple legal responses against its livers and itself through outside law firms. The acts it lists include defamation, insult, damage to credit, business obstruction including trolling, privacy infringement, threats, and copyright infringement. Murakumo also posted on social media, saying he does not tolerate defamation against himself, defamation by his listeners, or defamation posing as his listeners, and that he will not address the matter in streams.","whyItMatters":"ANYCOLOR is naming the specific sum a single forum poster agreed to pay, which turns a generic anti-defamation warning into a documented result it can cite in future cases.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eMurakumo\u0026#39;s own statement went further than the settlement itself. He wrote on X that \u0026#34;there is not a single thing I am accepting,\u0026#34; and said he is consulting with the company on future measures. He added that he will hardly ever announce progress himself.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eANYCOLOR framed the case as part of a wider enforcement push.

That unmasking step is what a forum poster actually has to fear.","threadsPost":"ANYCOLOR's settlement with a forum poster rests on a court granting sender disclosure. The 1 million yen is the visible number, but the unmasking is the part any anonymous poster would feel, since the claim only existed once the court released the identity.","newsletterBlurb":"ANYCOLOR has closed a rights infringement case against an anonymous forum poster over posts targeting NIJISANJI liver Murakumo Kagetsu, with the poster acknowledging a 1 million yen obligation. The company obtained the poster's sender information through a court disclosure request before filing for damages.
