Hey everyone!
The Korean Cassiopieas have asked everyone to NOT BUY SM products!.
I didn't realize more singers were suffering under SM, so lets show them once and for all that they can't be anything without bands like DBSK, and without consumers like us.
I had to shorten the information because there was a LOT there, so please go to the website for the complete information. Thanks!
The following is from:
http://asianfanatics.net/forum/DBSK-Fans-Announce-A-Boycott-talk677385.htmlReasons as to why we are boycotting SM Entertainment.
1.SM TOWN LIVE '09's Cancellation ....
2. The unfair treated of TVXQ's Official Fanclub CASSIOPEIA ....
[b]3. The Unlawfulness of the Exclusive Contract ....
-Clause 1
For the activities of TVXQ to be carried out in a successful manner, SM Entertainment and the manager SM Entertainment chooses will be in charge of handling all performances, commercials, promotions etc. for domestic and overseas activities. TVXQ cannot make any promises or sign other contracts without contacting SM Entertainment and they must only focus on their activities.
-Clause 9
1. TVXQ must release albums as they are singers. In the case that 500K copies are sold of one album, excluding refunded copies, they will receive 50 million Won when the next album is released.
-There have been no albums that sold over 500K copies other than the fourth album MIROTIC (08.09.26)
-Subclause was altered (Artist receives 0.4~1% of the income 2009.02) They have sold 2.5 million albums in Korea only
-Money TVXQ received for albums 0 Won (2009.02)
-Although the subclause was altered, they still is no proper income division
(Artist:Agency = 2 (0.4% per person):98 ~ 5 (1% per person):95)
2. Subclause 1 only refers to the official albums of the group and the profit of other albums made by SM Ent. (Live Albums, Best Albums, Omniverse Albums, etc.) will all go to SM Ent.
-3 Asia Tour Live Albums, 5 SM TOWN Albums, 5 OST Collaboration Albums
-Income 0 Won
4.TVXQ must participate in Internet Programs whenever SM Ent. says they should. These Internet programs will be seen as a promotion of TVXQ

「请愿」韩国粉丝们的签名请愿活动
转自：DNBN

《本签名请愿活动的目的和理由》
1.我们反对东方神起和SM Ent（SM公司）签订的反人权的，不公正的奴隶合约。
▬东方神起的成员们为了消化SM公司单方面制定的无理的行程，六年间承受着一天3~4小时的睡眠时间、一年一个星期左右的假期、相当于绕地球60圈的空中飞行时间。在此期间成员们的身心极度疲惫，更不可能维持做为艺人必须保持的最佳状态。
▬成员们跟SM公司签订为期13年的（加上服兵役为15年）长期合约，事实上这是终身合约。这是SM公司利用当时（签合约时）成员们还未成年，处于劣势的处境来签订的不合理的条约。
▬要想解除合约，成员们不得不支付投资金的3倍、预想收益2倍的违约金。任谁也无法支付这种天文数字的违约金。这分明是不公正奴隶合约条款。
2.做为喜爱大众音乐的一个人，我们支持东方神起3名成员为得到艺人的正当权利和价值而做出的决定。
▬因1中的不当条约，成员们没能得到艺人的正当待遇，没有得到各自向往的演艺活动的机会。一直以来做为粉丝，我们希望看到成员们在最佳的状态下展示最好的活动。
▬为了韩国大众音乐的向后发展，艺人的正当权利和价值理应得到保障，为此我们粉丝积极支持和声援3名成员的决定。
如果各位粉丝同意以上理由，愿意参与签名请愿活动，拜托请您签名，也请广大东方神起的海外粉丝们一同参与！
（我们保证您的个人资料不泄露，除了签名请愿，其他地方概不使用。）
