As they don’t agree with the court’s decision, they will appeal to the higher court.
So they did not appeal the lawsuit about the exclusive contract. Does it mean that no matter what the outcome of the appeal is, JYJ are free?
I don’t understand Avex’s statement 😦
Can someone explain it to me please
The higher courts can just dismiss the case as well and it’s really over…why drag this out Avex? JYJ and CJES Fighting!!!
I was confused by the costs order so I went to the source. It seems more like AVEX was ordered to pay 3/5 of Cjes’ costs, 1/5 of Baek’s costs and all of the Sumo’s costs while Cjes has to pay 2/5 of AVEX’s costs and Baek has to pay 1/50 of AVEX’s costs.
With all the dragging out AVEX is doing, I’m starting to entertain the idea that this was their plan all along when they first signed JYJ to their label. ugh.
At least there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. I hope JYJ gets a huge chunk of that $7.4 million USD compensation when Avex finally accepts the inevitable. (& that the compensation owed accrues the longer Avex keeps dragging this out.)
My little chickadee, when you own a part of the company, you get part of the revenues and profits. 😉
… Just… please tell me they can at least release Japanese albums now…. I don’t know why, but I sort of expected better from Avex than SM… but I guess they are both ugly..
Me too…
The court’s decisions are just a very delayed confirmation of the truth that JYJ is right and they (SM & Avex) cannot keep them as their cash cows. Appealing the court’s decision will delay the proper execution of the decision and perhaps may find some legal technicalities to overturn or amend some parts of the decision. We are living in an imperfect world. Men may trample on what is due to JYJ- for me I want my pound of flesh served with garnishing immediately 😀 but let us keep the faith. Our gallant JYJ men will tread the path only they can do and we (JYJers) will grow in legions globally…Cheers we won the first round for now.
Oh Avex Go Get a Life and leave them Alone for God’s Sake :@ There Is No Use of what You r Doing .So why Do u Continue Dragging This Out ? JYJ Will Win at The End and u Will Pay *that’s good* I Can See That U r Going All The Way Just to delay what is going to happen n get some pros *in your dreams* xD
Yes, appeal Avex. Waste your money and your time. Not being able to read a full translation of the court’s decision, I’m willing to bet there is not much wiggle room for you. Same case with SME. You know what the deal is. You had no legal justification for suspending the activities of JYJ. You got caught with your pants down, now pull your big boy panties up and get over it.
You and SM keep forgetting one undeniable fact…you cannot deprive JYJ of their talent. This is their’s to keep. As long as they have that, they will have their fans. And you know what? We fans are a lot tougher than you give us credit for. I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again. As long as the members of JYJ are still standing, I’m standing right along side of them!
We are going to continue to make miracles for them whether you like it not! Now put that in your peace pipe and smoke it!
@BAF
very well said. what you pointed out are big sharp slaps to their faces, to penetrate into their polluted head – THEY DON’T OWN A LIFE!!!
so spreading the posting and sharing everything about jaejoonie and jyj and above all keeping them on top with support is the way to go.may the fans should give the idea of creating their own company…???thats a thought!
The more JYJ is persecuted, the more their fans will grow and grow…fans will not tolerate injustice.
So that’s mean that avex will appeal and make JYJ disband for longer time?
Oh God,please let JYJ finish all problem asap..
Worse come to worse, the end outcome will be similar to SM….no money paid to JYJ, Avex cannot interfere with JYJ activity in Japan, and JYJ still banned from promoting. Look at what happened in SK! If the high court allow avex to appeal, well guess what people, this will drag for an eternity..our boys still suffers, fans still frustrated. I just want them to be free from this bullcrap and start living their life.
i agree even though i had no idea this was happening.i imagine they are still making money right.?..i mean fans still support them…right?
I don’t think it’s the same as the lawsuit with SME! You know that the SK court never did a final ruling over how much SM has to pay to JYJ….In this case the jp court DID do a final decision!! And I think in every democratic country it is allowed to appeal against a court decision…..that doesn’t mean the higher court won’t dismiss it! Japan’s legal system has MUCH more backbone than the SK one….
i hope all money owed both sm and avex to jyj is fully paid and stop prolonging the situation.our guys work hard for their money
when did this happen… i didn’t know they were having problems in japan….i am so lost here
appealing avex?
expected… coz no one is hoping u suddenly became sane and wake up from your delusions and hallucinations.
keep on dragging this longer and pay higher
Truth (, Reasonings and Logic) will ALWAYS prevail
Make those basters pay so they won’t do it to anyother artists.That was one of reasons that JYJ starting fight for the right.They try to make fair place for the artists in the entertaiment industry in SK.In another words they sacrificed themself for the others.That is how they won my heart forever.
Congratulations JYJ and to your brilliant legal team. I’m so happy that a decision has been made by the court itself (unlike SME’s
case) and to appeal the court decision is just like an SOP to every case I’ve known. Avex can appeal as much as they want but it’s already written that JYJ wins and I’m not even surprise of this verdict, it’s expected to all people who still believe in justice system.
So to SME and Avex and their allies :
You better listen, enjoy and digest the message of Jaejoong’s MINE
especially this line : It is my ocean, This is my ocean , Don’t try to block the sun that shines on me.
In the end, AVEX should just learn the lesson that SM learned the hard way. Dragging the case would be bad for the company in the end. Remember when stockholders began selling their SM stocks in rush?
now it is clear to know they win this battle, so everyone know now that jyj-cjes not some money digger.
Congratulations!!! I’m very happy for JYJ and C-jes^^ 😀 congratulation!!!
I have so much respect for the Tokyo District Court (✿◠‿◠) thanks for showing me the justice with fairness and professionalism.
here is an idea: avex go sue sm cause you are in this mess because of them anyway…so, go to sm…and take them to the cleaners for destroying your reputation and bringing loss to you and your stockholders…which brings me to the next point, what are avex stockholders ( if they have any) doing allowing their investments to go down the drain. is everyone in avex and kr licking lsm’s boots. no matter what anyone says, I still think that lsm is the head of all this mess; he is a megalomaniac
I love the “Avex will pay” parts. It’s like a love song to my ears. ^____^
Upon looking at this AVEX vs CJeS and JYJ, I thought I was watching that hate, revenge, hatred, hurt, pain kdrama that we used to see on TV. But this is just to ‘weird’ for me cause it’s happening in reality. I thought a business world is a serious and matured thinkers realm. Even skimmers know their PRIDE. How come are giving public your fore front shameful face? if I’m going to do business with you, you’re the bottom last name on my list. Please save your future, mister!!
This play is so childish. AVEX’s CEO, please be in reality and BE A MAN !
Avex’s Max needs to get a life and grow up. Plz just stop all the stupid nonsense – no appeals – we already know that you cry like a baby. Can the JP plz boycott Avex or something and tell them the fans won’t tolerate harrassment of JYJ in Japan?! Geez.
going against the company is a way of protecting jyj
Well…i will pray for SME & Avex. Pray those two greedy company go bankrupt in the future.
No pity for their artistes because they can go to another music company.
yes i agree…better yet have jyj create their own company jyj entertainment and take over all those celebrities that are unhappy with avex and sm don’t u think?
The court ruling was PERFECT!!! And I bet Avex won’t win the appeals as well. This ruling was completely against their evil selfish pretentions, this is justice. Avex won’t win, never! 😀 😀 😀
and our job as fans to keep them on top #1 above all others
stupid avex
