For example, there was a case where one celebrity sued another celebrity's company. The plaintiff won, and the defendant had to pay over 8 million in compensation.
The country's laws don't support these unreasonable disputes between MCNs and influencers. For instance, contracts lasting ten or fifteen years are not upheld. Predatory compensation clauses are also not supported. In one case, a company sued an influencer for 5 million, but the court ultimately ordered them to pay only 500,000.
In a dispute where a college student influencer was sued for 300,000, the court only ordered a payment of 5,000.
In such rulings, the court looks at the actual profit generated and calculates compensation based on that figure. It's not based on whatever amount is written in the contract. The law simply won't support that.
Before these precedents, many contracted influencers would be controlled and intimidated by companies like CYH.
