It was a Chinese tv show , just not that story line . <| sep |> If anyone wants more info . The legal trouble began in 2011 , when the band first sued Victory Records for a breach of contract . That contract required the band to release five albums under their label , however , the label argued that ADTR left Victory before fulfilling that commitment . The record label said the band only recorded three of the five required albums For Those Who Have Heart , Homesick and What Separates Me From You . They said the remaining records consisted of live performances , rereleases and bonus tracks , which didn ' t fit their stipulations . The jury determined that a few disputed recordingsthe band ' s two filmed concerts released on iTunescounted as albums in order to fulfill the band ' s five record contract with the label . They also hit Victory with $ 4 million for unpaid royalties from digital download and merchandise sales . It ' s worth noting that ADTR considered everything they ' ve released under Victory to be an album . In fact , the band originally claimed they had released 13 albums in the first two years of their deal with Victory , because they included everything deluxe editions , special editions , singles with bsides , live videos , etc . Personally , I think the band is wrong to claim that anyone who knows ADTR knows that they really released 3 albums between 2007 and 2011 , to say they released 13 is nothing short of bizarre . But either way , they won .
