Whip bull Shi reported on July 2 that today, #爱奇艺被判补偿41天黄金VIP会员#话题登上微博热搜第一, caused heated discussions among netizens.
As of press time, the topic has 100 million views, 14,000 discussions, and has been on the list for nearly 2 hours.
It is reported that the "iQiyi Restricted Projection Case" recently fell under the gavel in the first instance. The Beijing Internet Court ruled that the plaintiff enjoyed the rights and interests of 720P and 1080P high-definition projection before July 15, 2025, and the iQiyi platform compensated the plaintiff for 41 days of golden VIP membership time.
Today, the plaintiff in the case, @lawpig posted, "As a plaintiff, I have no opinion on the judgment of 41 days of compensation in the first instance, but I hope that iQIYI can treat all damaged members equally, and wait for iQIYI's announcement."
The plaintiff also said: "To clarify, what I asked for was 41 days of compensation, and the court found that iQiyi breached the contract and fully supported this compensation request." Because iQIYI will start restricting on January 11, 2023, and lifting the restriction on February 20, I need to have a compensation statement during this period, and I hope the same applies to all gold members during that time period."
He also said that the core of his appeal is to hope that all old members, regardless of whether they are automatically deducted or not, as long as they continue to subscribe to members, they can continue the rights and interests of high-definition projection. However, the plaintiff regretfully stated that "[the above claim] was not supported in the first instance, and I have not yet decided whether to appeal on this point."
In addition, #爱奇艺跌超2% #话题也登上热搜, as of the close of the U.S. stock market in the morning, iQiyi fell to 2.45% at $3.58 per share.
