The lawyer, assistants, clerks and others returned to the court.
The lawyer picked up the gavel and knocked it hard: "I declare that the court will continue."
The court became silent.
The lawyer asked: "Plaintiff and defendant, do you have any new evidence or important opinions to submit during the adjournment?"
Meng Liqun and Qin Hanlin shook their heads at the same time.
"Since there is no such thing, then I will announce the verdict."
The lawyer said loudly: "After comprehensive review, according to the appraisal of Professor Lin Peng, the evidence submitted by the plaintiff is the earliest creation record of "Immortality". Therefore, this court finds that the plaintiff Gao Pingfeng is the creator of "Immortality"."
"Although the defendant submitted evidence of copyright registration for "Eternal Life", since it was later than the creative manuscript submitted by the plaintiff, the defendant's copyright registration evidence has no legal effect."
"After comprehensive review, I declare that the first instance verdict found the defendant Fang Wenfei guilty of stealing the song "Immortality" written by the plaintiff Gao Pingfeng!"
Everyone had already expected the result, so they were not surprised when they heard this.
The lawyer continued: "This court supports the four demands made by the plaintiff, and the defendant must fulfill them unconditionally."
"If the defendant disobeys the first-instance judgment, it may appeal within ten days after the judgment. During the appeal period, the first-instance judgment will not take effect."
"However, given that "Immortality" is a song art, after the first-instance verdict, the defendant is not allowed to sing "Immortality" in any form anywhere to obtain illegal benefits."
"The verdict of this case is over."
After the words fell, Meng Liqun, Gao Pingfeng and Gao Pingfeng's family members couldn't help but cheer in unison.
Gao Pingfeng stood up tremblingly: "I came up with the idea of creating "Eternal Life" in the 1980s, and it was not officially completed until four months ago. Forty years have passed, and my whole life's hard work and countless...
Inspiration and sweat combined to create such a song, and the result...Thank you, the presiding judge, for giving me justice."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears and bowed deeply to the prosecutor.
Everyone was quite emotional when they saw this.
I have created a song in my whole life, only to have it plagiarized. How can I not feel sad about it?
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Wenfei with some contempt.
"Mr. Gao, you don't have to be polite. This is our job responsibility..." The lawyer comforted him a few words, then looked at Fang Wenfei and Qin Hanlin: "Defendant, do you want to appeal?"
Qin Hanlin said: "Presiding judge, we will appeal after collecting new evidence within the appeal period."
The lawyer nodded, knocked his gavel, and said loudly: "I declare that the trial of Civil Litigation Case No. 1024 is over!"
Fang Wenfei stood up, turned around and left.
She didn't want to stay in this place for any longer.
Suddenly, the clerk stopped her: "Ms. Fang, please wait a moment."
Fang Wenfei stopped.
The clerk came over and handed her a summons: "You are also involved in a civil lawsuit. The court will begin soon. Please don't leave."
What?
Fang Wenfei's expression changed.
Another case?
what happened?
She looked at the summons and was shocked.
I saw that the prosecutor listed on the summons turned out to be: Mingyu Entertainment Co., Ltd.
Will the contracting company sue me?
Fang Wenfei was shocked and angry, and couldn't help turning her head to look at Yang Lu.
Yang Lu happened to be looking at her as well, showing a rather playful sneer.
"Why?"
Fang Wenfei's face was ashen.
It takes time to file a lawsuit, then accept it in the legal court, and then send a subpoena. However, the company has been hiding it from her and has not let her know until now. It is obviously intentional.
"You have the nerve to ask why?
Because you stole other people's works, the concert your company spent a huge sum of money to hold for you was forcibly interrupted, and you had to refund the audience's tickets. Don't you need to compensate for the huge losses?"
Suddenly, a strong and cold voice sounded.
After the words fell, the door of Luting was pushed open, and a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a white suit, burly, and with a sinewy face walked in with a group of people.
"boss."
Seeing the middle-aged man, Yang Lu and others stood up and shouted in unison.
This middle-aged man is none other than Lu Youwei, the legal person and general manager of Mingyu Co., Ltd., a big-shot figure in the entertainment industry.
Fang Wenfei trembled, and her pretty face suddenly turned pale.
Seeing Lu Youwei appear, she suddenly understood that the fact that he was suddenly taken away by law enforcement officers at the concert last night to assist in the investigation and today's two cases were actually the same bureau.
A company specifically targeted her! "Hello, Mr. He, thank you for your hard work. We have to hear two cases in a row."
Lu Youwei didn't even look at Fang Wenfei, and greeted the lawyer and others enthusiastically, looking like old acquaintances.
"Long time no see, Mr. Lu. No matter how hard you work, it's just work."
Law officer surnamed He and others also smiled and came up to shake hands.
Lu Youwei said: "Don't waste your time, let's start the trial."
"good."
He Luguan said to Gao Pingfeng and others: "Everyone, we are about to start another court case. Please leave."
Gao Pingfeng and others left.
Lu Youwei sat down at the plaintiff's seat in a grand manner.
Watching him sit down, Yang Lu waited for others to sit down in the audience.
"I'm sorry, Miss Fang."
Qin Hanlin whispered, walked over and sat on the agent's seat next to Lu Youwei.
Fang Wenfei smiled sadly.
Obviously, everyone knew what was going on, but she was kept in the dark.
He Luguan looked at her with some pity: "Defendant, do you have your own attorney?
If not, the Law Court can assign one for you."
Fang Wenfei reluctantly calmed down: "Thank you, presiding judge, I don't have it and I don't need it."
Lvguan He didn't say anything more. He picked up the gavel and knocked it: "I declare that civil lawsuit No. 1025 is now open for trial."
The court fell silent.
He Luguan looked at Qin Hanlin: "Plaintiff, please state the reasons for the lawsuit in detail."
Qin Hanlin said: "Yes, presiding judge, on behalf of the plaintiff Mingyu Entertainment Co., Ltd., I am suing the company's contracted artist Ms. Fang Wenfei."
"First, because Ms. Fang Wenfei stole other people's works and was taken away for investigation by law enforcement officers, the solo concert that the company invested heavily in for her could not be held, and had to refund the audience's tickets, causing huge losses. Ms. Fang Wenfei is required to personally compensate the company for all
loss."
"Second, according to the contract signed between Ms. Fang Wenfei and the company, the copyright of the songs created by Ms. Fang Wenfei during the signing period belongs to the company. The company requires Ms. Fang Wenfei to immediately return all the copyrights and income of the self-composed song "Hao Fei's Encounter".
"
"Third, because the company suffered huge losses and in order to prevent Ms. Fang Wenfei from evading compensation in the name of personal bankruptcy, the company applied to the law court to forcibly freeze all accounts under Ms. Fang Wenfei's name."
