Acinonyx: Ket Baby LIVE!
“After a recent run in with the law, infamous gangster Ket Baby is being charged with crimes against Dechikely namely counterfeiting and fraud. The fraudster was caught with countless inauthentic goods imitating brands such as Night Ruby, Maison Veloura, and Opal as well as millions in fraudulent currencies including Dechikelian kets. The nature of the crimes and public interest has made Headman Aleko not only broadcast the court proceedings of the Ket Baby trial, but all future trials. The decision comes after little deliberation between the Firm and Headman Aleko in order to create a more transparent court system. This simply isn’t recording, it is to be broadcasted for any citizen to watch on the internet. Albin Murray, president of TechNova, and Headman Aleko have brilliantly decided to broadcast the Ket Baby trial as a Pay-Per-View event where money will be going to pay for the broadcast and any projected losses Eden Weaver, president of Night Ruby, has suffered.”
DNN: Courtrooms being brought to living rooms
“Mob boss and businessman Ket Baby has been arrested this week. The charges against him include fraud, black market sales, counterfeiting, and racketeering. The coming trial involving Ket Baby and his alleged crimes have peaked the interest of the public. Multiple people interviewed on the street were caught saying ’I’d pay to see that’. Headman Aleko and Albin Murray, president of TechNova of the Information Technology industry, have decided that the trial will be broadcast as a Pay-Per-View program where it’s rumored that the money raised will go towards damages against Night Ruby from the sales of counterfeit goods. Furthermore, Headman Aleko has decided that each criminal trial going forward will be broadcast on the internet with the intent of courtroom transparency. Penalties for illegally broadcasting and viewing the Pay-Per-View trial are being evaluated and are expected to be shown throughout the broadcast.”
The Bottom Line: Nothing is SACRED anymore!
“Ket Baby, who has brought reasonably priced luxury goods to people, has been arrested for trying to help out his fellow countryman. Apparently, the free market isn’t so free after all. He made these knockoff products himself and sold them to people who couldn’t afford the real thing. He was fulfilling a need in the market and is being punished for it. He never claimed to be working with the brands he was ripping off. He simply brought the name brands to people that wanted them without paying two paychecks to get it. Supply and demand is what the nation is supposed to be about. Just because he used the real names of real products doesn’t make it wrong. Nobody was getting hurt. The money he made was never going to line the pockets of the brands he was ripping off. So what he had counterfeit cash on him? He probably only used it at big name brand companies that were going to take it and put it in a bank vault somewhere anyway. I don’t see what the big deal is. However, people are abuzz by the upcoming trial. Of course the Firm and Aleko had to jump at the opportunity to get rich from this. They decided that they want people to have to pay to see it! But trials after this are going to be free on the internet? Oh, it’s to repay lost revenue to poor Eden Weaver? My heart bleeds for her, truly. NOT! That’s sarcasm, Aleko! I don’t want to say this too loud as to not give anyone ideas, but the next thing they’ll do is ask the viewers at home to text their verdicts from the living room! Give the man his privacy. No, better yet, let him plead his case to the public and you’ll see who the real victim in all of this is.”
