“giarism is stealing or altering another author’s thoughts and ideas, taking it as their own in a simr context. The act can either be a partial orplete alteration of the original content.” Lawyer Bai walked over. “Firstly, the defendant’swyer deliberately distorted the main gist of the case, turning giarism into a coincidence, a sh of ideas. Under normal circumstances, giarism is not judged based on the subject matter since there are many different types of books of the same subject. For instance, fantasy books or those about CEO romance, promotion, esports, or entertainment industry. There might even be a sh in the description. These are all normal. That sets this apart is the unique storyline created by the author under therge overarching theme. The defendant used the author’s unique storyline as a whole or changed it slightly to make it seem like her own. That is not a coincidence, it is giarism,” Lawyer Bai spoke slowly, his words loud and clear for everyone to hear. “The most important part of a novel are the characters. Let me simplify this: For books about reincarnation, they are often about high school students. But the intiff’s female lead has special features unique to her novel. The character has ck ear studs, travels around on her skateboard, and often climbs walls. She would also get beaten up for being known as gay. She has a bunch of tyrant CEO novels on her shelf and is often teased by the male lead. That is the setup for the intiff’s novel but how can it be the same over at the defendant’s side as well? The simrity detected in the other major storylines are written in the evidence, they are all with you, your Honor.” Lawyer Bai paused slightly before continuing, “As for those that im that giarism doesn’t matter, that is your own opinion since not everyone has morals. Those that mean no harm can be forgiven but for those that remain unrepentant aftermitting their crimes, acting pitiful won’t bring you anywhere. We look at evidence and the truth in court, not acting skills.”
Sometimes, a mesmerizing voice helped to capture one’s attention. Allwyers would strive to deliver their intentions clearly.
As there were some who weren’t convinced and were prepared to argue, the judge looked through the different outlines.
Bo Jiu stood beside the group thatined the loudest and turned to remind Lawyer Bai, “You forgot the most important part. ”
Lawyer Bai followed her line of sight,nding on the victim’s mother, who was standing tall and firm. He then continued, “ording to our country’sw,pensation is expected of the giarist. Perhaps none of you have heard about this but at the start of the trial, the intiff’s guardian had mentioned the payment amount to be one dor. That wasn’t even enough for a beggar. For the past 36 days, she has been travelling to and from her town, sparing no efforts. From the very start, my intiff has been after justice. But of course, even if my side wins the trial, you would still enjoy both books and find no issue with how the books were created. But do keep in mind, you will always be an aplice.”
Director Huang stilled before he turned towards Bo Jiu. “I finally understand the power of words.”
“It isn’t cheap.” Bo Jiu nced down at her watch. Lawyer Bai charged by the second but he was worth it.
Lawyer Bai returned to his seat once he was done.
The three judges nced at each other. Due to the uniqueness of the case, they needed more time. The judges called for a 10 minutes break while they discussed the result...
