Rebirth declares war on the honest

Chapter 533 528. Twists and turns

The eyes of the people are discerning.

Even if it’s not clear enough, when Paradise Cloud Music organizes all the evidence into a small essay, everyone will involuntarily open the two music apps and try to reproduce the points mentioned in the statement one by one .

Eh?
It turned out to be true!
The onlookers discovered that many of the new features and columns launched by Penguin in the past few months are really copied from Paradise Cloud Music.

This is a solid hammer!
The voice of reposting comments intensified, and Penguin, who was as stable as Mount Tai, finally couldn't sit still.

Before the day had passed, Chen Buyu, the public relations director of Penguin Music Entertainment Group, posted a Moments, which was regarded as an official response to the allegations made by Paradise Cloud Music.

"The music industry is not easy, everyone should continue to do the right thing that is conducive to the development of the industry, ignoring the facts will not help the development of the music industry, as the industry leader, we will not join the ranks of quarreling , After all, the friends of Penguin Music are a group of people who truly respect and love music."

"Finally, the relevant evidence has already been preserved, and the lawsuits that should have been initiated against the defamatory party have already been initiated one after another. I believe in the fairness of the law."

At the end of the circle of friends, Penguin Music also attached a few screenshots, which can be regarded as some counterattacks to the statement of Paradise Cloud Music.

For example, didn't Paradise Cloud Music say that Penguin Music's app copied some of their functions?
Chen Buyu posted the patents for functions related to listening (listening together) and music pushing (recommending music).

I have a patent here, so I don’t need to say more about who is copying whom in this wave?
Chen Buyu's circle of friends also aroused widespread condemnation from netizens who support Penguin.

Paradise Cloud Music writes a small composition, right?
Let the evidence fly for a while?
Penguin is not willing to fight with your small company, so don't touch porcelain, okay?
All of a sudden, there were scolding wars on Weibo and major media one after another.

On the one hand, Paradise Cloud Music seems to have solid evidence and has the advantage of first-mover public opinion. On the other hand, although Penguin's reply did not cover every point, they have a huge number of fans and supporters.

No one can convince anyone.

Whether it's under the Weibo of Paradise Cloud Music or in other related discussions, the highest praise in the comment area is actually the comments sent by those Lizhongke, and there is no obvious one-sidedness.

To put it simply, the thoughts of many netizens coincide with the highest praise.

"Don't quarrel, I have both apps, and I'm a dual-member user, everyone is equally bad, Penguin can't wait to take money from the user's pocket, the park has too few copyrights, except for the original song, there are other versions."

The highest praise really speaks the voice of everyone.

As an ordinary listener who loves to listen to singers and has repeatedly jumped between major music apps for many years, he really has a little right to speak.

Leaving aside the more and more bloated apps and more and more exaggerated ad insertions, let’s just talk about the copyright protection that all major music apps are emphasizing. In fact, no one can do it impeccably.

There are really a lot of coquettish operations that take advantage of loopholes.

Paradise Cloud Music gave an example in the statement. In the song "Next Stop Chashan Liu" exclusively launched by Paradise Cloud Music, in QQ Music, search in the video column, and you can find the MV, screen recording, etc. related to the song.

In fact, students who have used music apps for a long time should have encountered this unspoken rule to some extent.

When there is no sound source for a certain song, it may pop up a small reminder saying that you can watch the official MV of the song.

After clicking on the MV, click on the headphone icon in the upper right corner to play the video in the background. The experience is almost the same as listening to a song.

This kind of operation is available on QQ Music, and also on Paradise Cloud Music.

At the music headquarters of Paradise Cloud, Gu Yun just opened the door of the office, and met Cheng Yingying's gaze. Her eyes were full of little stars, and she stared at Gu Yun without blinking.

"How did you do it?"

"Did you expect that one day we would go head-to-head with Penguin Music?"

"You're too amazing, aren't you?"

There was no one around, Cheng Yingying wrapped her arms around Gu Yun's arm, she didn't let go, she was obviously a few years older sister, but at this moment she was as happy as a little girl who ate candy.

There is no other reason, but Cheng Yingying feels that Gu Yun's random actions a long time ago have now become a nirvana for Paradise Cloud Music to change public opinion.

Is there really a boss who knows things like a god?
When Gu Yun first founded Paradise Cloud Music, he arranged for Cheng Yingying to apply for patents for all the major functions of her software.

At that time, Cheng Yingying was very puzzled. Who would apply for a patent for the built-in functions of their app?

Algorithm, push, and listening to these functions together are not particularly amazing when disassembled. Is it necessary to apply for a patent once?

People who have never started a business or invented an invention may not know that the process of applying for a patent is very complicated and cumbersome.

First determine the type of patent you need to apply for, and fill in the patent specification according to the type of your invention patent.

Next, fill out the patent application form and submit it to the State Patent Office together, waiting for the notice of patent trial.

Finally, after the examination and approval, the patent registration fee and annual fee of several thousand yuan need to be paid, and the patent certificate will be issued after two months of payment.

This series of procedures, without a few weeks or even a few months, is determined to be impossible.

Fortunately, Cheng Yingying is a meticulous and dedicated subordinate, everything has been settled, and everything has been answered.

When Gu Yun personally explained this task to her, although she felt puzzled, she still took the two of them to the National Patent Office in Beijing a few times, and finally got all the patents of Paradise Cloud Music.

She didn't agree with this piece of free chess from the beginning to the end, but when Penguin Music's public relations spokesperson Chen Buyu sent out the pictures, she understood everything.

It turns out that Penguin Music is patented!
If there are no patents for these functions of Paradise Cloud Music, then it’s really hard to say. In the eyes of the general public, whoever copied who
Originally, Paradise Cloud Music did not have the user base and huge fans of Penguin. If they lost the moral high ground, what would they use to sue the other party?
The more Cheng Yingying thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Yun's arrangement was too comprehensive. She couldn't help the joy in her heart, and sent him a message at that time.

"I can't help it. How can we compete with Penguin for food without something as evidence? We can't let others say we plagiarized?"

Gu Yun rubbed Cheng Yingying's head with a smile. There is no need to talk about the case of Penguin plagiarism in the previous life.

In the fields of games, music, and the Internet, Penguin can do it, use your things, and then use its huge basic disk and users to kill you in turn.

I don't know how many small factories, unable to resist the power of capital, closed down with hatred, and I don't know how many hopeful Internet people came to start their own businesses one after another.

How can it be possible to compete with big factories in China without any sense of copyright?
"Look, can we respond like this on Weibo at eight o'clock in the evening?"

On the way Gu Yun came, the public relations department had already reached a consensus with Leying Law Firm, let the public opinion ferment for a while, and then send out the patent certificate in the hands of Leyuan Cloud Music.

"Okay, when it comes to timing and angles, you are professionals. When it comes to cases, Leying Law Firm is professional. You don't need to ask me about such small things."

Gu Yun hugged Cheng Yingying in her arms with a smile, lowered her head and kissed her lightly.

It has to be said that the marriage of Cheng Yingying and Zhong Leyi gave him a big surprise.

The statement against Penguin Music was very effective. Not only did it firmly occupy the moral high ground, but it also perfectly combined Penguin's alleged infringement with evidence, with clear logic and detailed data, making it easy for the melon eaters to understand at a glance.

These days, it is also a skill to be able to write a statement so that passers-by can sort out what happened within three seconds.

"I guess, as soon as this new response is sent out, Penguin should come to negotiate with us."

With the support of a team of professional lawyers, Cheng Yingying is no longer so unfamiliar with Penguin's style of play.

"Let's talk about it, anyway, we are reasonable."

Gu Yun's reasonable words really hit the point.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Paradise Cloud Music released the news through all channels, officially responding to Penguin Music's statement, and the patent proved to be the last spark that ignited the explosion.

"Stop putting effort into evil ways."

"Misleading users to click to listen, cheating traffic by rubbing popularity."

"The subjective malice is obvious."

Originally such fierce words in the eyes of fans, now passers-by feel that no matter how much they say, they cannot be exaggerated.

In just a few hours, almost all the public opinion was on the side of Paradise Cloud Music. Since everyone has a patent and the time is different, it is already clear at a glance who copied who.

"Paradise Cloud Music is indeed a bit wronged. I can empathize with this matter so much."

On Weibo, countless musicians and big Vs expressed such emotion one after another.

The first to bear the brunt is Ma Youye. He has been doing original folk songs for three or four years. He has made original music and has also been a resident singer.

"I have the deepest experience of singing the cover."

Ma Youye not only took the lead in speaking out, but also interacted with fans below the comment area.

He said that on a music platform with a huge number of users such as QQ Music, uploading cover songs or even washing songs will hurt the most as the original creator.

"Strictly speaking, it is necessary to first obtain the authorization of the original author or the person who first recorded and released the song, even if it is oral first."

"But in reality, if you look at the cover works on various short video platforms and online music platforms, I dare say that most of them don't have this step."

"Some people will say that Dou Le often uses those popular songs. Of course you don't know that Dou Le has signed an agreement with original musicians like us, and will give the original creators a share?"

Ma Youpage is here, and also secretly pointed to other short video platforms.

He vomited bitterness, and at the same time, there was another big fact: "No one will pursue it, because the cost of rights protection is too high."

This is a reality that cannot be ignored. Many "Divine Comedies" that are popular on the Internet are actually written by young musicians.

"Some people are individuals, but to pursue infringement, without a strong brokerage company, it can be said that it is impossible economically and in terms of time."

"Many people have little awareness of this and have no awareness of the need to obtain authorization."

"So this time Paradise Cloud Music stood up, not only to speak for Cloud Music, but also for us original creators. I must support it."

In Ma Youye's view, affected by this, an embarrassing reality in the industry is that there are more and more infringements if no one is held accountable.

He also mentioned that there are still many netizens who think, "Recovery singing is popular, and it is 'helping you promote' for small original musicians."

This has led to some powerful platforms, such as Penguin Music, not only not taking infringement seriously, but secretly doing nothing, and even speaking for infringers.

"It's public connivance."

In Ma Youye's view, the reason why the cover singers mentioned in the "Statement" of Paradise Cloud Music are so popular is that the platform has left them alone or even encouraged them.

A single spark can start a prairie fire, and the ferment of public opinion is getting stronger and stronger.

On the other side, the headquarters of Penguin Music Entertainment Group.

The executive chairman, Peng Jiaxin, stood on the stage, scolding a submissive subordinate head-on.

"Do you fucking have any brains?"

"Jade, do you understand the reason why you never touch porcelain?"

The subordinate with his head down was Chen Buyu, the public relations director who represented Penguin Music and spoke in Moments yesterday.

He originally thought that Paradise Cloud Concert would be like the small workshop that came to Pengci before, and it would be overwhelmed by their professional public relations methods.

But what he didn't expect was that as early as when he started his business, Paradise Cloud Music, which was still a small workshop, had already applied for patents for the functions in advance.

Is this reasonable?

As soon as the reply from Paradise Cloud Music was sent, he knew that this wave was broken.

Regardless of whether users support Penguin Music or not, this public relations will definitely fail.

As the undisputed leader in the industry, as long as he stays focused and does not reply, there will be countless trolls with tap water to speak out.

"Aren't you here to touch porcelain? Penguin Music has hundreds of millions of users, is it necessary to target your small workshop?"

"There's no need to argue with you, let the law speak for everything, right?"

It's a pity that Chen Buyu, who felt that he was sure of winning and wanted to attract a wave of fans to fight a public relations battle, stumbled in Paradise Cloud Music.

Not only did he fail to turn back the popularity of passers-by, he also slapped Leyuan Cloud Music with a wave of advertisements in a disguised form.

This is the end of the collision between jade and porcelain. If you can't please yourself, you will add a bit of value to the other party out of thin air.

"Peng Dong, I am fully responsible for this matter."

Chen Buyu lowered his head with guilt on his face.

Penguin Music has been established for so many years, and it has rarely met opponents along the way. The opponents were either acquired by the rich and powerful Penguin, or they were constantly reported on copyright issues, and eventually fell into trouble and collapsed.

Having won too many battles, Chen Buyu couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Is it useful for you to take full responsibility? How to solve it? Your circle of friends is so loud. If someone comes to Nanshan to really file a lawsuit, can you win?"

Peng Jiaxin pointed at Chen Buyu's nose, not saving any face for this competent general.
