Back To 1995

   Chapter 731

  Paul Vidic frowned, listening to Doug Morris' swearing, and not knowing what Sony Music President Motura was thinking about, making Vidic vigilant.

  Several big record groups seem to be very popular, but in fact, the dog's brain is about to fight with each other.

   Like today's conference, Paul Vidic originally wanted to bring together the five major record groups. In the end, only the three giants Universal, Warner and Sony Music participated in this conference call.

  Because there are also camps and territories among the giants of the record industry, Germany's BMG and British EMI Records belong to overseas record groups, and have always been eyeing the American record market. Warner and Universal have often fought with the two.

   Even Warner, Universal, and Sony Music, the three local American record groups, also have camps within them. Like Sony Music's big financier, it is Nippon Sony, which makes Warner, Universal, and Sony Music equally estranged.

In the face of Paul Vidic, the five major record groups were invited to agree to solve the troublesome conference call of the Internet music platform. BMG and EMI were quite gloating and watching tigers fight. After all, this digital music wave, the main Focus on America, because America's Internet industry is developing the most rapidly and has the most users!

   In contrast, the Internet in old Europe developed slowly, but now it is the least affected by Internet music.

   At this time, BMG and EMI Records may still hope that the Internet music platform will fight more fiercely with Warner, Universal, and Sony Records, and then they will occupy the American record industry without a fight...

   "The most important thing right now is to get rid of the trouble. The emergence of music sites like Scour and Napster has already brought us trouble. We need to stop them and continue to "steal" the record industry!

  Warner Music, the revenue in the latest quarter has fallen by more than 3%! "

  Paul Vidic said that compared with Morris and Mortura in today's meeting, his pressure is actually much greater.

It is no secret that Time Warner, the parent company of Warner Records, is fighting with AOL. It is no secret that Paul Vidic heard the news from the headquarter executives that the merger between Time Warner and AOL seems to be only a price difference. It's hard to say who will merge and who will be merged on both sides, but this matter seems to have come true...

Once Time Warner merges with AOL, everything will change. At that time, Warner Music will face a new headquarters and board of directors. If Warner Music's performance is hampered, Paul Vidic is likely to become the scapegoat, so he is most anxious.

"There are now more than 80 million users on Scour and Napster alone. If you expect them to change by themselves, it's impossible. Scour still wants to log in to Nasdaq!" Motura, who was silent for a long time, said: Finally spoke up.

   Listening to Motura's words, Paul Vidic, Morris, all heard his overtones, that is, they were not ready, they talked to Scour and other websites, and they were ready to start the film.

   This is also in line with Motura's character. He has always done things neatly without leaving a trace of trouble.

   When dealing with opponents, he has always been extremely ruthless, and this time he is obviously going to give Scour a ruthless blow.

  Universal's Morris agreed with Motura's proposal, "We need to join forces with the Recording Industry Association RIAA, the Recording Artists Federation, and all record companies to launch a war against Scour!"

  Paul Vidic listened to the words of the two and knew that they were going to "kill the chicken and warn the monkeys", kill Scour, and teach other Internet music platforms a lesson, so that they would not dare to play pirated music again.

   But Pandora's Box has been opened, and Scour has died. Don't users still listen to MP3 music?

  Paul Vidic is skeptical about this. He doesn't know how long Motura's thunderous tactics can hold down the Internet music platform.

   "What if we cooperate with Saipan Music Store?"

   Just as Morris and Mortura were discussing how to fight a lawsuit with Scour and kill each other, they suddenly heard Paul Vidic's words, which made their voices stagnate.

   The Saipan Music Store is playing genuine music. It has been like this since the day it opened. Paul Vidic knows that the Saipan Music Store must have also sought cooperation from Universal and Sony Music.

They had never considered cooperating with Saipan Music Store before. In addition to worrying that the other party was unreliable, the other was the competition between physical records and digital music. Once the copyright library was opened to Saipan Music Store, the CD , vinyl records, DVD discs, tapes and other records sales will definitely decline, and there will be fewer US knives in hand. This is the most worrying thing for several major record groups.

   But now, seeing digital music, some of them are flooding. At this time, choosing a platform that plays genuine digital music will work or not, no one knows.

   But Saipan Music Store, the "color ringtone" business in cooperation with Alcatel Mobile and America Telecom, Paul Vidic, Morris, Motula and others, have all heard of it.

With only some "old" and "outdated" songs, I heard that the CRBT songs were all sold out, and some bands and singers began to receive dividends from the Saipan Music Store. Small record companies, singers, and bands with music copyrights in their hands are all eager to make a move. After all, who would really have trouble with the knife?

They seem to be upright, and there are many record practitioners who scold digital music. Sites like Scour use their song copyrights without paying a cent. Who wants to be prostituted for nothing, but Saipan Music Store gets their music. Copyright is really their money. As long as they can earn US dollars, many people are cursing, but in private they are willing to contact the Saipan Music Store...

   "The record industry, to the point where it is today, is inseparable from the Saipan Music Store. I have heard rumors that the gold owner of the Saipan Music Store has supported the Scour website!"

  Motura was the first to object, not wanting to let the record industry cooperate with Saipan Music Store, other record companies can, but not Sony Music!

  The **** decides the head. As soon as the Alcatel P2 mobile phone came out, the most direct impact was Sony's Walkman sales, which immediately began to cut in half.

The music phone has hit the sales of the Walkman too hard. Sony, on the other hand, has a good impression of the Alcatel mobile phone. You must know that the Walkman business has always been a golden egg in the hands of Sony. The cows are now tossed to the brink of death.

  Sony Music had to cooperate with the Saipan music store under the "culprit" at this time. It was not that Mortura thought that his position as the president of Sony Music was too stable, and the salary was too high...

Hearing Motura's objection, Morris, who had been hesitant to speak, also kept his mouth shut at this time. Today's record conference call has basically been finalized. The three major record groups have joined forces to fight Scour and other websites. Making a decision basically represents the will of the entire American record industry!

After hanging up the phone, Paul Vidic looked at a business card in his hand. He was the general manager of the Saipan Music Store and the current head of the Saipan Software Store and Saipan System. He was just appointed as the vice president of Alcatel Mobile. Hoblo's business card.

Before   , Hoblow had talked with Paul Vidic that he wanted Warner Records to cooperate with the Saipan Music Store in the copyright library, but the two sides did not reach an agreement.

   Paul Vidic doesn't know that even if he kills several Scour websites, it can really solve the problem of digital music and solve the troubles of the record industry?

Thinking of these, Paul Vidic is even more headache. Now, he finally realizes why the traditional media has avoided the Internet like a snake in the past two years, and the Internet media has been scolded. Now it is the turn of the record industry. , Paul Vidic really feels that the Internet is changing all traditional industries.

  Song Yang is very busy here in San Jose. Alcatel mobile phones, Saipan music stores, and Dimeng MP3s, for the record industry, no one knows how far it can go.

  Song Yang just wanted the Saipan Music Store to have more copyright libraries and Alcatel mobile phones to sell more. The wings of a butterfly flapped, and as a result, the entire record industry was in chaos.

   After returning from the construction site of the new villa, Song Yang met Irene who had been waiting there.
