> The case of NetEase Cloud Music suing South Korea's SM Entertainment will be heard in the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court in Zhejiang Province on November 4. Previously, the case was heard on August 6. NetEase Cloud Music issued a statement in January, stating that due to the copyright holder's refusal to renew the contract, it might remove songs under SM Entertainment and expressed its intention to strive for copyright renewal and inform users in a timely manner

According to Tianyancha's risk information, recently, Hangzhou NetEase Music Technology Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou LeDu Technology Co., Ltd. have filed a lawsuit against Kas Dream Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. and SM ENTERTAINMENT CO., Ltd. for abusing market dominance. The case will be heard on November 4th at the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court in Zhejiang Province. Previously, the case was heard on August 6th.
