Omona They Didn't

yes, because i'm sure the members of CN Blue actively conspired to do this shit.

rme. crying nut are not wrong in wanting to protect their intelectual property, but they're going after the wrong people. Go after MNet for using their AR recording in the first place and CNBlue's company for not giving a shit about using it on a DVD for profit.

I understand them for wanting to protect their rights, but this is getting a little ridiculous now. They were already paid by Mnet for the DVD royalties. CN Blue didn't profit from this one performance, other than I suppose a performance fee. But they didn't make money from the DVD.

Crying Nut is just making themselves look petty. It's just sour apples. All around.

They have every right to protect their own music but they're coming after the wrong people. It really is starting to look like a vendetta plus they're making a comeback...

crying nut has all the rights to fight for what is rightfully theirs, but they are going over bosrd against cnblue, it not like they went to a cave and evil laughed over their plans to steal their music.

the biggest mistake was from a company trying to profit from a cover without clearing it up with the original artists, but i doubt that cnblue acted the way they claim in this, artists cover others artists all the time.

yes they have every right in the world to protect their music.
but seriously they are attacking wrong people.
it is MNET & FNC they should consult.
obviously MNET have admit their mistake and already pay them,they accept the money but seem like they don't care at all and still not satisfied.

for me their purpose only to ruin CNBLUE reputation.
they seem too petty and childish with this.
why wait to do this specially during the boys important comeback this year?
why they not directly do the lawsuit when it still fresh&just happen or when MNET give them the money but only wait until now when they just doing their comeback.
the timing to too convenience lol.
blaming them for something that happen during the time the boys JUST DEBUT not too long where they are still newbie and don't have power to do any decision.

i heard CNBLUE just apologize.not sure true or not.
but if it true let just see what their reaction if they accept or not.
i mean being the sunbae but still try ruin youngsters who just started pursuing their dream when they can just settle this peacefully they sound too petty.
i hope they would just accept the apology and move on.
if they still try to make this into bigger problem after this then i don't want to believe their purpose is that innocent to protect their music only.

guys, this is about the plagiarized music now (CNBLUE's debut song remember?). In order to resolve that, they have to deal with CNBLUE directly. Sorry, but this is the ugly side of protecting one's copyrights.

bring them down

I hate their comment about Cnblue not apologising, when they already have, infact Cnblue have been apologising for their existence since their debut. I'm all for "indie music" but to go full on after a band trying to survive is so vindictive to me.

Also their comment about CNBlue just fake strumming along should be aimed at Mnet, and all the music shows for not supporting live music, how that is the fault of CNblue. Also rookie groups have to do what Companies tell them, otherwise they hold grudges. To demonise Cnblue as some evil band infringing on their rights is such misinformation that this is really coming off as some lame attempt to gather the hipster army against Cnblue.

Also Crying Nut, noone thought Offside was their song mate, give it a rest. Like noone can cover songs anymore without it being somehow stealing.

Keep trying though, this has just made me want to protect CNbue and I love indie music more than anyone.

Crazy Nut is acting like they want to destroy them, it's really not fair because the responsability is on Mnet. It really breaks my heart to see them suffer yet again for something that isn't even their responsability.

What a rookie was supposed to do? they have to do what their are told by the station or get banned, M!countdown requested the song, provided the AR sound and failed to credit. It's their negligence.

Yonghwa said in his Gaon acceptance speech: "In 2013, I wish for CNBLUE to be loved more as a band." ....i guess that's not gonna happened thanks to Crying Nut.

So FNC apologised publicly, Netizens won't stop since they think Idols are bottom barrel even though they've poured blood and sweat in spreading their bloody precious Hallyu Wave, but will see if Crying Nut gives it up. If after apologies from Mnet, FNC and compensation, they still don't give it up, someone is a bitter and entitled group.

hmm, crying nut(s) indeed.

Never heard about Crying Nut... But reading this makes them appear pretty dislikeable to me and not only because I am a fan of cnblue. I personally think cnblue are not the one to blame. Therefore Crying Nut should welcome people covering their songs. I'm always a fan of songcovers and hearing them often makes me interested into the original. I discovered a lot of good bands and artists through covers so in my opinion it's a good thing for an artist to get covered! And doesn't there exist the wording "imitation is the highest form of admiration"? I think, sueing cnblue now really cries for marketing - a fo of marketing that's really aggressive and that I don't apreaciate. There really must be other ways to get noticed =(

Crying Nut is really living up to its name. Anyhow this is a stupid publicity stunt for their upcoming album and desperate try to cash into CN Blue's success (which definitely didn't happen because this performance, but their own songs).

Jesus Christ people, I'm only gonna give you guys the benefit of the doubt that you guys are international fans and don't know any better - Crying Nut does not NEED noise marketing. If anything CNBlue isn't even considered a band in the eyes of Crying Nut's target audience.

The issue is that even if it was the Mnet's fault, CNBlue and FNC hadn't taken responsibility for what is very disrespectful to Crying Nut; even their apology was half-assed: Crying Nut didn't even hear about the apology until it was in the news. I'm sorry, but it just looks like FNC is trying to hype up the issue more since they're the big company and have an advantage in media play.

i thought this was about ji hyun woo's band and was shocked but then i realized his band was/is called The NuTs. lol

Idk how these covers work, but given that Crying Nut aren't just crying foul over the DVD but also the actual performance, does this mean that in order to avoid this CNB would have needed to pre-record their OWN instrumental of Offside to use as a backing track during the performance (since crediting during the performance/broadcast would clearly have destroyed the illusion of them playing live)? Shouldn't someone have just told them that? They'd have needed to learn the song to hand-sync anyway.

Wow this is really starting to sound a bit obsessive. I really hope they can come to some kind of agreement because I can't see how this is helping anyone :(

This is a sad post lolz. These comments are so dramatic. Cnblue is gonna be fine and if they crumble the company will just make another just like how they made them. Its kpop there's no roots.

oh

So....what exactly Crying Nuts want from this lawsuit....?
