I can’t believe that the court hearings are just beginning for this after all this time

Sir, a second court case has hit the entertainment company

This is going to be a very messy court case I expect, although I know WMK were caught on audio recording essentially giving ASI the go-ahead to work on breaking the Attrakt contract for the members.
(Also why is the photo for this article OT5? They’re not relevant to the lawsuit at all😭)

poaching…? do they mean plagiarism?

At the very least, it will be difficult to prove. Min Heejin is an example of how conversations regarding the poaching of a group doesn’t necessarily equate to sufficient evidence of poaching. So, Attrakt has a lot work to do in court in order to demonstrate poaching beyond a reasonable doubt.

Obviously IANAL, but it seems like a pretty rough case for Warner to defend, good thing for them they’ve got the global Warner money and any penalty will probably be a slap on the wrist for the whole system.
This case probably won’t set new legal precedent, but it might teach the international “Big 3” labels (Warner, Sony, and Universal) to be more careful trying to step to the existing Kpop oligopoly (Attrakt isn’t Big 4, but anyone with a vested interest in things staying the same will want them to win and benefit if they do so decisively). The whole thing is very “Alien Vs. Predator”; whoever wins, we lose.
