“That is IU’s company EDAM Leisure.
We want to inform you of our place as beneath concerning right now’s report.
German band NEKTA’s claims are clearly completely different from fundamental details.
NEKTA not too long ago claimed by way of their web site that they contacted the artist and her then-agency LOEN Leisure in addition to her present company EDAM Leisure a number of instances from 2013, when allegations of plagiarism had been raised, to the current however that we didn’t reply.
Nonetheless, this isn’t true.
On this regard, on June 21, we refute NEKTA’s declare, “They didn’t reply,” by disclosing by way of our official social media a portion of the e-mail that was despatched to NEKTA by [IU’s] then company LOEN Leisure by way of their authorized consultant.
The e-mail printed on social media was despatched to NEKTA on “December 4, 2013,” and the sender was LOEN’s authorized consultant.
Within the official letter despatched by the legislation agency to NEKTA on the time, it states that, “There are circumstances whereby the purported authorized representatives of international copyright holders have turned out to be not licensed by the copyright holders. Thus, we want to request that NEKTA members Gyso Hilger and Nathalie Schaefer in addition to Nordend Leisure Publishing present a duplicate of the ability of lawyer duly executed.”
This needs to be doc that helps the assertion of producer Jo Younger Chul, who produced IU’s album, from final month that it was certainly NEKTA that didn’t reply to the emails and official statements which tried to verify the fundamental details.
As well as, versus what NEKTA claims on their web site, neither the company, the then company, nor the composer, and so on. have launched any interviews, press releases, or official statements stating that the discussions on this regard have been concluded. Moreover, because the artist is a singer and never a copyright holder, we imagine {that a} cautious stance should be maintained in disclosing opinions associated to copyright points.
In the meantime, we confirmed that NEKTA not too long ago despatched an e mail to us as soon as once more.
As it is a severe subject, we affirm that we despatched a response to NEKTA on June 20 after going by way of processes together with authorized evaluation.”
