What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 588 - 189 What’s This? Malicious Shutdown?_4
Old Tang was there, speaking at length. He was just offering suggestions, after all, as for what the specific standard should be, that was beyond his purview.
Rare items or characters must be distinguished from other things.
However, at this point, someone else spoke up, "Lawyer Tang, you keep saying that the company should compensate for the items and characters. Isn’t that a bit unfair? Why should the company bear these costs?"
Old Tang looked over; the speaker was a middle-aged man.
"Unfair? What about the gaming company deciding to shut down servers at will? Isn’t that unfair to the players? The courts have already recognized these things as virtual property. Since they’re deemed property, your server shutdown constitutes an infringement."
If there’s infringement, then compensation is due, the question is only how much.
"If you think they do not constitute virtual property, I personally suggest you take it up with the intermediate court, or even the high court, or perhaps you could seek a judgement from the Supreme Court as to whether they’re virtual property."
The paths are laid out for you, as long as you take action, Old Tang guarantees his full support.
The person opposite fell silent—what could they ask?
Soon, another person inquired, "Lawyer Tang, you haven’t mentioned how to deal with the channel fees. Should the company bear all of that? Do you yourself think that’s reasonable?"
Old Tang immediately looked at her; it was a middle-aged woman.
"Hello, I want to clarify that I never said the company should bear all the costs. I have been speaking from the players’ perspective. Players only see how much money they’ve spent."
"As for how the channel fees are to be refunded after service termination, that’s something you need to discuss with the various distributors. Are you suggesting the distributors have a monopoly and can’t be negotiated with?"
To put it plainly, players are consumers. How you resolve your disputes is your business. It might sound a bit rogue, but that’s the reality.
Old Tang now represents consumers and naturally couldn’t speak well of the company.
This creates another vicious circle. In comparison with the distributors, the gaming company seems a bit disadvantaged...
Suddenly, the person opposite was left speechless. Couldn’t very well complain about distributor monopolies in this meeting, could they? What would happen if word got out?
Then another person stood up...
Following Old Tang’s previous dazzling performance in the Law Association, he now began another fervent debate with a group of executives in the meeting room of the gaming regulatory authority.
The more questions people asked, the more excited he became.
The rest just watched, as what was meant to be a session for expressing opinions had turned into Tang Fangjing single-handedly taking on all comers. Enjoy new tales from novelbuddy
Time flew until noon, and with everyone hungry, a temporary truce was called.
After eating their fill and returning, it was an entire afternoon, lasting until the next day when finally, no one wished to engage with Tang Fangjing anymore.
Truly unable to withstand it, even Director Fang, who disliked Tang Fangjing the most, had to admit that the guy opposite was genuinely skilled, apart from being crazy.
He spoke without a script, yet his arguments were logical and well-founded, effortlessly drawing upon various laws and regulations. As someone in the legal profession, Director Fang knew how difficult this was.
It was as if his opponent had mastered the vast sea of legal provisions, integrating them thoroughly. You can dislike a person, but you can’t dislike knowledge.
The meeting lasted two days, with no one left to argue with Tang Fangjing, but Vice Chairman Luo had a tough time.
Even if he didn’t want to speak, when the leader asked him for his opinion on public interest litigation, he had to respond...
After the meeting concluded, the gaming regulatory department issued an announcement, essentially saying they had heard opinions from all sides and would move on to drafting regulations.
