Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 339

"We had no choice but to ask for your advice!" the staff explained in a hurry.

"What? Over a hundred people? What's going on today? Why are so many people trying to file a lawsuit?" the presiding judge asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, but if you look at the content of these complaints, they're all very similar," the staff continued.

Reluctantly, the presiding judge had to take a careful look. After reading the first complaint, his eyes narrowed as he set it aside.

After that, he picked up another complaint and scrutinized it. His expression immediately darkened as he set that aside as well.

Following that, he started reading through those complaints one after another, picking up speed as he went and putting them down even faster than before.

There was a rare look of panic on his face as his mouth fell slightly agape. It was as if he had just suffered a severe beating, turning pale on the spot.

"This… this is…" the presiding judge stammered, struggling to speak, his words somehow stuck in his throat. He seemed to be terrified.

"What happened?" his colleague asked.

"These complaints are all identical! They're all filed by those influencers, claiming that someone plagiarized their videos. After reading through them, they're more or less the same claims!" the presiding judge explained.

Everyone was taken aback. The courtroom staff approached and began reading the lawsuits as well.

The atmosphere in the room grew tense, leaving only the sound of flipping pages echoing in the room.

The Sterling family's lawyer was in a daze, staring blankly at the scene before him. Suddenly, he realized that something was amiss.

There were hundreds of people filing lawsuits at the same time, all for different cases. It was a terrifying situation for the court. In fact, it could even bring about a severe impact on society. All this…

The lawyer turned pale, suddenly turning around to look at Hayden. He realized that all this must have been Hayden's doing!

It was at that very moment that Hayden smiled faintly and said, "I suspect they must have seen that I was sued and then thought of doing the same!

"If a lawsuit with no cost can succeed, then this situation will spread everywhere. As long as similar videos can be judged as plagiarism based on dates, it would be too simple!

"To put it simply, if we all filmed a video of us eating a meal, and I happen to have filmed mine a day earlier, I could sue that person for plagiarism! The definition of plagiarism is too broad, and the chance of winning the lawsuit is high!

"That's all I have to say. You can pass your judgment now. I'm in a hurry too. After all, I need to make a public apology video for this, and that takes time. I just hope nobody posts an apology video before mine, or I'll be sued for plagiarism again!"

With Hayden's words, the courtroom fell into complete silence. Everyone was at a loss for words.

They all hesitated, not knowing how to pass the judgment.

If Hayden loses the case, more lawsuits would flood right in. It would be a neverending nightmare!
