Chapter 123 The Scene Got Out Of Control And The Plaintiff Became The Defendant
After the meeting, Longteng Capital received a subpoena from the U.S. Supreme Court a few days later.
The subpoena made it very clear that the record company’s lawsuit against Longteng Capital will be heard in court next week.
No details of the trial have been made public.
If Longteng Capital does not send anyone to participate in the trial, it will automatically rule that Longteng loses the lawsuit.
The Supreme Court has the power to divide all Li Xun's investment projects in the United States.
The interior of Longteng immediately exploded.
They all scolded the American emperor for his shameless behavior, which was no different from robbery and robbery.
The court clearly sided with the record companies.
Before the court session, he was thinking of plundering Li Xun's legal investment in the United States.
Wang Ergou, He Duoxiong and Zhu Yeliangoui have sharpened their knives and prepared an assassination list.
As long as the plaintiff is resolved, the lawsuit will naturally end without any problem.
In this regard, Li Xun is sure of victory.
He accepted interviews from reporters from all over the world, and he complained in front of the camera about the shameless behavior of the record company.
"The contracts are clearly written in black and white. I don't understand why some entertainment companies are unwilling to contribute to the development of technology. The birth of MPMan has made many people fall in love with music. We are promoting music, but some people are unwilling to wake up. Since the "680", I still dreamed of monopolizing copyrights.
Li Xun's words quickly became headlines in major media.
Millions of users who pre-ordered MPMan quit.
Mud, if the conspiracy of these scumbags really succeeded, wouldn't they just buy a brick?
No, we must support LZ Music and President Li Xun.
Some enthusiastic people launched a petition on the official website of White House.
The public has only one demand, and that is to have a public trial of this lawsuit.
This petition received millions of support in just two days.
Feeling the pressure, the Supreme Court of the United States immediately told the public that next week's trial will be broadcast live on FOX Radio.
This lawsuit has attracted the attention of the whole people. Even in some areas where the Internet is not developed, there are people who support Longteng.
Li Xiuman secretly felt that something was wrong and things were completely out of control.
They seem to be giving MPMan another round of free publicity.
Regarding the current situation, the Secret Service Chief could only console the representatives of the record company that the truth was in their hands. Even if Li Xun received support from the public, the lawsuit would be defeated.
With the attention of the whole people, this lawsuit has begun.
On the day the trial began, the outside of the court was filled with people supporting MPMan.
What puzzled the public was that Li Xun actually chose to attend the meeting alone.
He obviously has money to hire lawyers from all over the world to win this lawsuit, but he chooses to go there alone!
On the other hand, on the plaintiff's side, in addition to the representatives of the record company, there is also a group of ten people.
In front of the crowded crowd, Li Xun looked extremely small.
Many young female reporters burst into tears.
"Li Xunxi, if you want to give up, we all support you!"
"We are with you!"
"We all support you!"
The crying outside the court was in sharp contrast to the faces of the Secret Service Chief and others.
There are more than 40 people in the court now, all of them.
One person can spit on Li Xun until he is speechless.
Li Xun, you are seeking death.
"Li Xun is too shameless. In the contract, he never mentioned to us that the MP3 music format license would be used to promote MPMan. This contract bypasses our right to know. On behalf of many plaintiffs, I request its annulment!"
The judge asked Li Xun: "What objection does the defendant have to this?"
"That is because the plaintiffs have shallow knowledge. Everyone at Longteng knows that the MP3 music format must be played on MP3. EU147 was born in 1987 to facilitate the dissemination of digital music. This is the predecessor of MPMan. The plaintiffs will not Don’t you know?”
Representatives of many record companies were dumbfounded. How come there was something similar to MP3 in 1987?
How come they don't know?
This touches upon the plaintiff’s intellectual blind spot.
But this is really nothing new. It’s just that for MP3 at that time, you had to go to a designated place to buy a chip to download good music. Because it was too complicated and not easy to carry, it was not promoted.
The judge banged his gavel hard and asked the plaintiff's legal team:
"This complaint cannot be established. Please continue to make your statement."
The Secret Service Chief winked at the Chief Attorney.
If one plan fails, try another one.
"Your honor, please see that the contract does not authorize cover rights at all. The defendant's LZ music platform illegally covers works of major record companies, which has violated the legitimate rights and interests of our victim!"
"What does the defendant have to plead?"
"Your honor, the covers are all uploaded by fans spontaneously. We have never promoted them, and we have not gained any profit from them. I feel that the other party is falsely accusing me."
"The defendant is making a quibble. LZ Music has always been a membership system. Li Xun, do you dare to say that your members are not attracted by covers?"
"I would like to ask the plaintiff, you killed someone with a knife. Is the knife guilty?"
“Or do you think people who upload covers have violated your rights?”
"This...this..."
The plaintiff's lead lawyer was immediately rendered speechless by the refutation, and the special agent chief hearing the trial became so anxious that he wished he could stand in the front desk and fight Li Xun.
"Then your platform tacitly allows users to privately upload the works of underground musicians. Is this legal?"
"Is this how you, LZ Music, respect free creators?"
Everyone looked at Li Xun, and the judge also looked at dozens of pages of evidence submitted by the plaintiff's legal team.
"Haha, of course we at LZ respect free creators. Here is the copyright contract between us and underground musicians. As long as the songs uploaded on LZ, we have obtained the authorization from the other party. The plaintiff is obviously at the end of his game and is making false accusations with his eyes closed. On our side.”
What?
Li Xun has licensed the works of all underground musicians.
Li Xiuman looked at the secret agent chief with questioning eyes, how did you do things? Didn't you say that your people secretly uploaded them?
The special agent chief, who was being stared at by everyone, was also very puzzled. Mad, why did Li Xun seem to have seen through all their actions, and what went wrong.
The audience who were watching the live broadcast on the TV station outside the stadium had already begun to cheer.
Li Xunxi is really awesome. With just a few words, he left dozens of people speechless.
Sure enough, the just side will win!
The Longteng media had prepared their plans outside the venue. Their president was so wise and powerful, and the enemies were just a bunch of useless paper tigers...
Andre and his daughter on the other side of the ocean couldn't help but marvel. For the first time, Andre realized how terrible his daughter's lover was.
Even the Secret Service Chief is no match for him.
"Daughter, you have really found a good husband, I agree with you and him!"
Annie gave her father a roll of her eyes, "Do I need your permission to be with Li Xun?"
The judge on the stage banged the hammer hard again. He had been a judge for decades, and this was the first time he had seen such a bizarre case.
This guy is really evil.
"Plaintiff, do you have any other evidence to submit?"
The plaintiff's lawyers all shook their heads. They wanted to quibble, but now in public, they did not want to become the laughingstock of the public.
"Then this case is over, I declare...
"Judge, please be patient, I have something to say.
Everyone was shocked. What else was Li Xun thinking? Did he want to sue them for slander?
Sure enough, just listen to Li Xun say: "I want to sue the record company for slandering me and my group. They have seriously violated my personal reputation and the group's reputation. I ask the plaintiff to compensate me for all losses, 1 billion US dollars!"
The record company representative was immediately furious.
Li Xiuman smiled sinisterly and said:
"Li Xun, what evidence do you have that we falsely accused you?"
Unexpectedly, Li Xun smiled, and in the eyes of everyone's surprise, he said:
"Sorry, I really do!"
Without waiting for the judge to speak, Li Xun played the recording obtained from the DSP.
After only listening for a while, the agent chief immediately shouted to the agent:
"Stop him quickly!"
Li Xun said coldly: "Who dares!"
"Even the King of Heaven and I can't stop me from exposing you today!"
"I can't finish playing this recording today. I'll get it to be played on the five major radio stations tomorrow."
What the Secret Service Chief didn't expect was that the judge actually knocked the hammer and said to the detective:
"Whoever let him in at 1.6, please ask the irrelevant people to leave the scene!"
The secret service manager was dumbfounded, and so were the record company representatives.
Why are you rebelling too?
With the justice in charge, no one stopped Li Xun from playing the recording.
How the representatives of the record company tried to blackmail Li Xun, and their evil deeds were exposed one by one.
The FOX radio cameraman recorded more than half of the video before he thought of cutting off the live broadcast.
The recording was played halfway through in full view.
But this half has been able to do the record company's crime.
The plaintiff's attorney completed the transition to the defendant's attorney.
He stammered: "The recording cannot be used as evidence in court, and the evidence you gave Li Xun has no legal effect!"
The chief minister's words finally had an effect.
The justice breathed a sigh of relief, collected the money and settled the matter. This situation is the best result.
He pronounced: "Li Xun, your evidence is invalid, but since the record company did have an agreement to make false accusations, this case is suspended and will be adjourned now!"
The audience was in an uproar. They lost the inevitable lawsuit.
The key evidence was also obtained by Li Xun!
