Rebirth declares war on the honest

Chapter 532 527.
"So your opinion is, no matter what we do next, let's post a small composition first?"

Cheng Yingying laughed dumbfounded.

This method can not help but disappoint the first lady in the entertainment industry who was expecting professional legal services.

Post a small composition, who wouldn't post it?
In this regard, we are professionals, right?
Having been in the circle for so long, Cheng Yingying has seen countless tortures.

Even small trainees with little fame may sometimes have disagreements because of uneven resources.

Boys and girls who can give up studying at a young age and come to the entertainment industry to chase their dreams, who doesn't have many fans?
Therefore, Cheng Yingying not only saw it with her own eyes, but also had to mediate it several times when she posted on Weibo or Moments on public social platforms.

I have read many small essays, and I am used to this kind of thing.

Why do lawyers do this too?
"Yes, Leying Law Firm is professional in helping companies draft statements."

Zhong Leyi nodded, and looked at Cheng Yingying who looked puzzled with a smile, her eyes were full of confidence.

"Then let's discuss how to send it."

Cheng Yingying handed the two printed materials to Zhong Leyi and Wang Xiaohong respectively, waiting for more professional wording.

Ten o'clock on Monday morning three days later.

Most people in the workplace have just started working for a while, and it is time to get up to touch fish or pour water, and go to the toilet with pay.

"Fuck me!"

"Look at the statement posted by Paradise Cloud Music on Weibo!"

"It was also posted on the app! It's a long, professional long article."

The power of public communication cannot be underestimated. A blockbuster statement issued by Paradise Cloud Music is like dropping a big stone on a calm lake.

"Even if we all admit that unfair competition happens from time to time in business, there are few areas where nothing can grow due to unfair competition like domestic online music.

For a long time, Penguin Music Entertainment Group (including QQ Music, Kuwo Music, Kugou Music, National K Songs and other products) has illegally broadcasted unauthorized songs, batch-scaled fake songs, copied our product innovations, Ways of evading or even resisting supervision infringe our copyright and constitute an act of unfair competition.Its main actions include:

[-]. Malicious infringement of copyright and suspected of resisting rectification
1. QQ Music pirated our works through the "Regional Play" function

For a long time, QQ Music, a subsidiary of Penguin Music Entertainment Group, has repeatedly released our popular works without authorization.

After our rights protection was filed, QQ Music specifically removed related works only in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Huacheng and other areas in our daily monitoring area.

However, in other areas where our monitoring and rights protection capabilities are weak, we continue to pirate and release, deliberately evading our rights protection.

From the perspective of different provincial regions, QQ Music cannot play the songs that Paradise Cloud Music has rights to in Beijing, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province and other places.

However, it can be played in provinces and cities other than the above-mentioned areas, such as the Tianjin-Hebei region, Quancheng in Shandong Province, and Chang'an in northern Shaanxi.

From the perspective of the same provincial region, taking Zhejiang Province as an example, when QQ Music cannot play the rights and interests of Paradise Cloud Music in Hangzhou, all other ten prefecture-level cities in Zhejiang Province, such as Shaoxing, Huzhou, Jiaxing, In Ningbo, Zhoushan, etc., there are unfair acts of secretly releasing the songs involved in the area.

The same song QQ Music was offline in Hangzhou, but it can still be played and downloaded in other Zhejiang cities.

The number of infringing works pirated by QQ Music in different regions is huge, and they are all popular songs on the Paradise Cloud Music Platform, such as "Nanshan South" (Ma Youye), "Flammable and Explosive" (Chen Li), "Next Stop" Chashan Liu "The landlord's cat and so on.

QQ music-related behaviors infringe copyrights, seriously violate business ethics, integrity principles, and industry standards; they are also suspected of using technical means to carry out differentiated rectifications for different regions, evading and resisting supervision.

Relevant behaviors ignore laws, regulations and business ethics, with obvious subjective malice.

2. QQ Music secretly released our works through the "import external playlist" function

For unlicensed songs, QQ Music has developed the function of copying the link of its platform song list and then importing it, which can realize the replay and download of the songs that cannot be played in the original song list.

Taking the popular song "Nanshan South" (Mayoupage) as an example, the search in the QQ music station shows "no audio source".

However, after copying the playlist link and importing it, the song can be played and downloaded.

QQ Music pirates copyright-free works by "importing external playlists"
Such a piecemeal and sneaky move not only damages the rights and interests of musicians, infringes our copyright, but also destroys the fragile mutual trust between the industries.

3. Penguin Music mass-produced popular songs without authorization to launder their names and block streams maliciously
For a long time, Penguin Music’s QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music have produced a large number of fake and laundered works for unauthorized works, misleading users to play them.

Since 2013 alone, Penguin Music has launched a large number of counterfeit songs with the same name for our popular songs, and the chorus of nearly a thousand songs is the same or similar to the original song.

For example, after the fire of "Flammable and Explosive" launched by Leyuan Cloud Music Yunshang Studio and Leyuan Entertainment Co., Ltd., a large number of songs with the same name and different lyrics appeared on QQ Music and Kugou Music.

Such as "Flammable and Explosive" (official version), "Flammable and Explosive" (DJ version), "Fireworks and Explosive" (original song) and "Flammable, Explosive and Beware of Fire Candles" (Dou Le Hot Search Smokey Voice Version) Wait, and board the official list of the latter.

Only the songs under the names of independent musicians such as Ma Youye, Chen Li, and Landlord's Cat involve thousands of counterfeit and plagiarized songs with the same name.

Even the names of the singers of some fake songs are "high imitation" of the original singers.

For example, a certain product under Penguin Music Entertainment Group used "Qiaobei's Cat" as a music group "Landlord's Cat" and illegally released related works.

In this way, users are misled to click to listen, and the popularity is used to cheat traffic.

If users want to listen to "the landlord's cat", let them hear "the landlord's cat" instead of "the door's cat", "the eaves' cat", "the bridge's cat"... Please don't put Listening to a song is like doing a problem of character analysis.

What's more, some companies under the Penguin Music Entertainment Group have purposefully and organizedly participated in the cleaning of the song industry chain.

Since the middle of the year, whenever Paradise Cloud Music releases a hit song, the three products under Penguin Music not only directly pirate the original song, but also intensify and release a large number of crudely produced songs of the same name within a day or two.

For example, the special project album "We Can Be Heroes" released by our side on October 2013, 10, which premiered on "Operation Mekong", is the first track of the main theme series.

Penguin Music illegally launched all the content on the day of release, and QQ Music then appeared similar audio sources, MVs and screen recording videos.

Penguin Music illegally uploads works planned by Paradise Cloud Music, and it is becoming more and more rampant in laundering songs and disseminating unauthorized works under false names. For example, the "psoriasis" style of closely following our content production is extremely bad in nature.

In addition, Penguin Music Entertainment Group also invests in related companies to follow-up and mass-fake songs for popular songs, and give traffic tilts, deepen vicious plagiarism in the industry, and boost the scale of the song-washing industry.

[-]. Long-term plagiarism of the visual design, product functions, and innovation mechanisms of Paradise Cloud Music
1. QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music plagiarize the design of the vinyl playback page of Paradise Cloud Music

Since its official launch in 2012, the unique vinyl playback interface has been the core design of Paradise Cloud Music products, and related design patents have been registered, forming a very high popularity, recognition and influence among the public.

At the beginning of 2013, Penguin Music-related products updated the playback interface and added a vinyl interface design, which is very similar to the vinyl playback interface of Paradise Cloud Music.

2. Kugou Music and QQ Music plagiarized the "listen together" function of Paradise Cloud Music

In February 2013, on Valentine's Day, Paradise Cloud Music officially launched the "Listen Together" function in order to facilitate the use and enjoyment of cloud music by couples.

Thanks to the community atmosphere of Yuncun and the unique interactive experience, "Listen Together" has quickly become a unique feature that has been well received by the industry and welcomed by users.

In July 2013, Kugou Music launched the "listen to" function. Its function setting and page interaction design can be called a pixel-level copy of the "listen to" of Paradise Cloud Music.

Attached picture: Comparison of "Listen Together" of Paradise Cloud Music and "Listen Together" of Kugou Music.

In August 2013, QQ Music updated the "Music Room·Listen Together" function, and the function name is "Listen Together" on Cengshang Paradise Cloud Music.

In September of the same year, the latest version of QQ Music directly renamed the "Music Room" function to the "Listen Together" function, and the UI design of invitations and listening to songs is also more similar, completing all follow-up from name to function in one fell swoop, all plagiarism .

3. Kugou Music plagiarized the function setting and interface design of "Yunbei Tuige" of Paradise Cloud Music
In April 2013, the new version of Paradise Cloud Music launched the "Yunbei Push Song" function to support users to promote their favorite songs.

Three months later, Kugou Music also completed the follow-up, launched the "Music Push" function, and once again copied us at the pixel level in terms of function settings and interface design.

Evidence: Kugou Music's "Music Push" function plagiarized Netease Cloud Music's "Yunbei Push Song"

All in all, for many years, Penguin Music Entertainment Group has carried out unfair competition against Paradise Cloud Music and the entire online music industry for a long time, with wide scope, various means, and tragic consequences, and it has become more and more serious in the past two years.

If we hadn't been harassed into unbearable by this long-standing unfair competition behavior, and the damage was so irreversible, we would never havetily make public the dirty and ugly state of our industry.

According to the "Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China", "Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China" and other relevant laws and regulations, Paradise Cloud Music has targeted Penguin Music Entertainment Group (including QQ Music, Kuwo Music, Kugou Music and other products) against us. Some acts of unfair competition were formally prosecuted.

We urge Penguin Music Entertainment Group to immediately rectify its products and businesses and stop all acts of unfair competition:

1. Immediately stop infringing acts, including but not limited to removing infringing works, stopping impersonation and washing songs, and rectifying related infringing functions;
2. Immediately stop unscrupulous unfair competition and conduct healthy competition from the perspective of enhancing content creation and user experience;
3. Immediately investigate the violations of laws and regulations in each business, and suggest business ethics training for all employees, strengthen self-discipline awareness, and timely conduct moral rectification.

Here, we once again call on practitioners in the industry to respect the achievements of others and focus more on improving industry services, user experience and product innovation.

At a time when the domestic online music industry is full of corpses and is in such a difficult situation, don't put your efforts in evil ways. "

Paradise Cloud Music

Nov. 2013, 10

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

This word-for-word, out-of-the-box long text directly caused an uproar on the Internet.

Except for the hard-working 360 Zhou Hongyi boss back then, no one has confronted Penguin head-on, let alone posted such a long article, which is well-founded and convincing.

The first thing for the bystanders to do is to forward it to their good friends one after another, come here to eat melons first, and then stand in line.

"Copyright disputes are actually user disputes. However, for most consumers, what they care about is not who imitated whom, but which song is really good and which payment model is more reasonable."

"After all, Penguin is the leader in the industry. Would it copy the functions of a small music software? I advise netizens not to jump to conclusions and stand in line. Let's see Penguin's reply."

"Penguin is still used? I'm afraid it's not a music legacy, right? If you are a user of Paradise Cloud Music, you won't say that Penguin doesn't plagiarize."

"I agree with the above point of view. Penguin doesn't have any high-quality original content at all. Except for the sound quality of the songs, all kinds of small services are basically copied from Paradise Cloud Music."

"But Paradise Cloud Music also has its downsides. The price paid for a single song on the platform is too high, and you have to pay extra for some albums after a monthly subscription. Fuck."

"It looks like a brother who has really used it, and I think so too."

Discussions about the war between Penguin and Paradise Cloud Music are raging, and there are all kinds of opinions, all kinds of strange things.

A whole morning has passed, but Penguin still hasn't responded, and the number of retweets and views continues to ferment. This time, the face-to-face confrontation of Paradise Cloud Music has reminded countless netizens of the era when 360 and Penguin chose one or the other.

The music apps are arguing, so what then?

It won't be the end, so we have to choose one of the two again, right?

With you without me, with me without you?
Someone made a statistic a long time ago. Among music enthusiasts, it was counted how many music apps they have downloaded on their mobile phones.

There is no suspense, many people will choose to repeatedly jump between two or three music apps.

Several major products of Penguin Music and Paradise Cloud Music are firmly in the top positions.

The copyright dispute has lasted for many years. For the sake of their beloved singer, the audience had to compromise, or both platforms recharged their memberships.

"Either fit together, quarreling, I really don't want to switch apps back and forth."
