The main story here:
http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/art/2...6/201_4393.html

This is a huge, huge disappointment to many Rain (Bi) fans. I, and many other thousands of Rain fans in the US have been anticipating his concerts for along time. This was supposed to be his debut in the US and it's sad to think that a band would file a lawsuit just because they have the same word in their band name. I'm just frustrated that they're doing this now, and making all his US concerts delayed/canceled. Many of his fans have already bought tickets...and now we're having to refund all of them. It's interesting though, most of the concert names were changed to Jung Ji-Hoon's World Tour anyway.

Anyway, I'd just like to know if anybody else on cB was going to go to one of his concerts as well. Opinions would be nice, too. I am going to admit, I am definitely biased on this situation...so I'd like to see everybody else's thoughts on this.

UPDATE
"Rain Corporation" wants to be awarded three times the profits attributable to Defendant's infringement, it's attorney's fees be paid, interest on any monetary award, an injunction be issued against defendants and their employees, Star M to cancel their domain name (http://rainworldtour.com) etc.

Goddamn. I just have this feeling that they're in it for money. >:l Everything's about money these days, I guess....

EDIT: Oops, I meant in the topic title:
Rain (Bi)- being SUED.
Can a mod change that for me?
And...wait, since when can the topic starter not change the topic title? o.o
