My rebirth is different

Chapter 811 Baidu's Quick Response

After listening to Director Wang's words, President Li frowned deeply.

Difficult!
These days, why is it so difficult to run a business with peace of mind!

I am a top Internet expert, advocating the supremacy of technology, and believe that the Internet is free and unfettered, and it should be free!

Therefore, since its establishment, Baidu has focused on technology and neglected marketing, and rarely took the initiative to seek trouble from other companies.

But why do other companies like to trouble Baidu?

Before this time, Baidu had encountered similar situations many times, that is, other companies sued Baidu for infringement, but the scale was not as large as this time.

Mr. Li believes that other companies may be envious of Baidu's development speed, but they cannot surpass Baidu technically, so they can only use this "dirty method" to attack Baidu.

Take the so-called online music video anti-piracy alliance launched by Facebook Entertainment this time, targeting Baidu.

What is their purpose?
Obviously, they want to complete their monopoly by attacking Baidu.

In the Internet industry, only top companies can make money.

Among them, companies that can achieve monopoly in a certain field can make a lot of money.

In the past, although the Facebook company became a dominant player in the domestic Internet industry, it was not involved in the search field at all, so it had no competitive relationship with Baidu.

Seeing Facebook and Tencent, Shanda, NetEase, Sohu, Sina and other companies fighting each other, Mr. Li secretly rejoiced.

But now, depending on the situation, is Facebook going to attack Baidu?

In addition, Mr. Li has heard that Facebook, the company behind Facebook Entertainment, has already made efforts in the international market, and the newly appointed CEO of Facebook North America is an old acquaintance.

One of Yahoo's core executives, Qi Lu!

This person is very familiar and experienced in the search industry. Could it be that the Facebook family is about to start the search engine business?

Mr. Li feels that it is very possible, and this time he sued Baidu for infringement, which is to engage Baidu.

"We have to prepare for the worst this time! Everyone must know how strong the legal department on Facebook is. This time, the other party has recruited so many allies to condemn us together. The momentum is too great. Already, we... probably won't be able to resist."

In the conference room, except for Mr. Li's voice, everyone else was silent.

After glancing at everyone, Mr. Li continued, "Get ready, the Public Relations Department will draft an announcement immediately."

Director Wang nodded quickly, opened his notebook, and prepared to record what President Li said.

"In the announcement, the attitude must be sincere, indicating that our Baidu company absolutely does not intend to condone infringement and piracy, and over the years, we have also made unremitting efforts to combat piracy! List the data of those small websites that we have blocked to prove that we are really did those things."

"Also, didn't they target our Baidu audio-visual software, saying that we steal their copyrighted products. Then tell them tactfully that this is only part of the function of search engines, and Internet users have the right to find those things through search engines .We are only thinking about the user experience, and it is not an infringement and piracy in essence.”

"Of course, if they strongly request us to block their website resources, then we understand and respect their request. It's just that they have to be prepared to lose a lot of Internet user traffic."

"This is our announcement, neither humble nor overbearing, and state the facts. In addition, our legal department has to actively respond to lawsuits. You should be more experienced in this regard, it is a procrastination tactic! Try to delay the time, and finally they have to Promise to reconcile with us..."

It has to be said that Mr. Li is also a person who has seen the big world, and his thinking logic is still very clear.

In the face of Facebook Entertainment's menacing lawsuits, they did not panic, but responded properly.

…………

While announcing the lawsuit against Baidu, Facebook Entertainment did not sit idle, but made technical upgrades to the company's website and servers.

All external web crawlers are blocked, not only from Baidu, but also from all unauthorized websites.

In other words, other websites should no longer try to steal any resources from Facebook videos and Facebook music by transferring links.

If users want to watch videos and listen to music, they must come to Facebook Video and Facebook Music.

Many users who used to like to listen to songs and watch movies on Baidu Video and Video soon discovered a depressing thing.

That is, many movies and TV shows, including songs, can be searched for a lot of resources on Baidu.

But when they clicked in, they found that these resources were not available!

In the past, no matter what movies and TV shows, you can find a lot of resources on the Internet, why can't you watch them now.

This is the result of the upgrade of Facebook's entertainment technology. Due to cost reasons, most pirated websites cannot provide resource playback and download on their own servers.

Because it requires a large number of servers and huge bandwidth, the cost is too high, and it is definitely not affordable for small websites.

Therefore, those pirated small websites use hotlinking technology for film and television drama resources. Generally, users think that they are directly watching movies and TV shows on small websites, but in fact the background links are directly connected to Facebook videos...

Not only small websites, but also large Internet companies like Baidu also use hotlinking technology.

Of course, Baidu is not considering cost issues, but legal risks.

If it is just hotlinking, it can also be said to be a resource link uploaded by netizens spontaneously.But if these pirated resources are all on their own servers, then the explanation is not clear, and the legal risk is too great.

But the consequence of this is that after the Facebook video and Facebook music are upgraded, all crawlers on external websites are blocked, and all the original links will become invalid.

If users want to watch those movies and TV shows, they can only watch them on Facebook videos.

The lawsuit against Baidu has not officially started yet, but the number of Facebook video and Facebook music users has skyrocketed.

It can be said that Facebook's entertainment intention has been half completed.

………………

Baidu's response was also very quick. The day after Facebook Entertainment took the lead in launching the "China Online Music Video Anti-Piracy Alliance" and issued an announcement, Baidu officially responded.

The director of Baidu's external public relations department held a press conference.

At the meeting, facing many media reporters in the audience, he expressed his sincerity.

"As for the Internet Anti-Piracy Alliance, Baidu supports it, and if possible, we also hope to join this alliance and do our part for the Internet Anti-Piracy Cause.

But for their announcement, I am deeply sorry!

Over the years, Baidu has been resolute in combating piracy and infringement, and has done a lot of work behind the scenes. "

"For example, we have independently developed an automatic anti-piracy video filtering system. Many pirated video sites cannot be searched on our website at all, effectively preventing the proliferation of piracy."

But when he said this, a reporter in the audience dismantled him.

A voice from nowhere said, "That's because they didn't pay you. All pirated websites that paid for it rank higher in the search results than genuine websites!"

Director Wang's face was a little ugly, he pretended not to hear what the audience said, and continued to talk about himself.

"Second point, we have opened a green complaint channel for copyright owners and various websites. As long as you find that your product has been infringed on our Baidu, you can contact our customer service staff through the green complaint channel to help you solve the problem of infringement .”

The voice came out again, "It is someone who can contact you, but you will only say that you know, please wait for verification and resolution. There may be no more news after this!"

Mr. Wang couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at the audience and said, "Which reporter friend is this, thank you for your opinion. If possible, can we talk alone after I finish speaking."

The audience really stood up alone, and said generously: "It's me. If Director Wang wants to talk, I can do an exclusive interview for you."

When Director Wang saw it, he immediately felt guilty. It turned out that this reporter was from the news channel of Dragon TV!

This is a big TV station, I can't afford to mess with it...

In addition, he also understands why this reporter seems to be specifically targeting Baidu. Dragon TV and Facebook are quite closely related, no wonder.

He continued to speak as if nothing had happened: "Next, we will take measures to actively guide genuine high-quality websites and reject pirated and infringing websites. Especially those malicious pirated websites will be technically Take measures to completely block them!"

This is Baidu's attitude in front of the public.

Baidu's reputation has become a bit stinky after being swayed by those big Vs on Facebook. They must reverse this situation.

Otherwise, the lawsuit has not yet been fought, and it is not certain who will win, but in the eyes of everyone, Baidu has become like a rat crossing the street, and everyone calls for beating.

However, although Baidu has a lot of traffic, they do not have their own voice platform...

When there is something happening on Facebook, it is directly announced on its own website, and then the big Vs who are closely related to it collectively speak out, and it immediately becomes a hot topic on the entire network, and everyone knows it.

As for Baidu, it even relies on holding a press conference to explain some things.

Mr. Li saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

Its own Baidu company has a huge Internet traffic entrance, but it cannot keep this traffic and turn it into its own users.

This matter has always been the biggest pain in his heart!
The reason why we engage in hotlink infringement and various content websites is to retain and convert these traffic.

But looking at it so far, not only did it not achieve the effect, but it caused a lot of trouble.

This is not going to work. Baidu has to transform again, to come up with something that can really retain users, and it is best to have a certain media attribute...
