as you may or may not know, creators see counterfeits and straight up ripoffs of their art when successful at scale.
this isn't meant to be a humblebrag... in fact, i don't wish this on anyone who wants to enjoy what they make.
i've been investigating legal protection for 'magic girl' since 2020. only this year did i find the complete understanding & a lawyer who could help secure protection.
the counterfeits are successfully being taken down!
4 f*ing years really wears out the soul.
