"Design software has become the hardest hit area of piracy, and Tu'ao may lose more than 10 billion yuan in the Chinese market!"

"How many companies are using pirated CAD?"

"WTO accession is imminent, and the awareness of Chinese people to protect intellectual property rights needs to be improved urgently!"

"The use of pirated design software by state-owned enterprises has become a trend, and the competent departments cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb!"

Overnight, a number of sensational headlines appeared in the major newspapers, all of which pointed to one problem: the piracy of Tuo CAD in China.

The reporters who wrote these articles said conclusively that the vast majority of designers in China are currently using pirated software, including technical personnel from various large enterprises and scientific research institutes. In most colleges and universities that offer CAD courses, the CAD software used by teachers and students is also pirated, and many teachers even engrave pirated software into CDs and distribute them in class.

The reporter then quoted the viewpoint of a certain legal expert, claiming that the use of pirated software constitutes a crime of infringement, and that the crime of disseminating pirated software to students by a teacher is even more unforgivable, and that dismissal from a teacher is a light one, and that it is necessary to shoot for three to five minutes to conform to the spirit of the legal system.

In addition to legal experts, trade scholars also came out to join in the fun, citing classics to argue the relationship between cracking down on piracy and China's accession to the WTO, saying that if the state fails to take effective measures to curb the serious phenomenon of software piracy, China's international image will be seriously damaged, and this will further affect China's WTO accession talks with other countries.

After verbally and penally criticizing the technical personnel who used pirated copies, the reporter changed his mind and turned his attention to the various units and the government departments behind them. The reporter asked: As the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, do you have at least a little sense of the law? Do your subordinates use pirated software every day, but the leaders are unaware of it or deliberately conniving at it? As well as the leaders of the Ministry of Machinery, the Science and Technology Commission, and the Education Commission, don't you know this serious problem? Are you worthy of the wages given to you by the state and the people in such a vegetarian position?

"What's going on, is what the newspaper says true?"

The ministers immediately called the director to inquire.

"We don't know much about this situation, so I'll send someone to investigate it immediately. The director was trembling and didn't dare to sweat.

Returning to his own one-acre and one-third of land, the director of the department called the director and began to give orders: "Has our subordinate enterprise ever used pirated CAD? The newspaper named the Pixi Machinery Factory, and you should call Lao Chen of Piji now and ask him what is going on!"

Speaking of which, the fact that subordinate units use a few pirated software really can't get into the eyes of the higher-level leaders. In fact, how can there be no pirated software in the computers used by the superiors?

No way, in the 90s, everyone's genuine consciousness can be described as almost blank, buying a computer for 810,000 yuan, it is already very distressing, and then spending thousands of dollars to buy genuine software, who can stand it?

The leader doesn't understand what genuine piracy is, and the guys in the information center are responsible for installing software for the leader. Besides, if they make a report saying that they will spend millions of dollars to equip the computers of the whole unit with genuine software, believe it or not, the leaders will train them like gray grandsons.

From top to bottom, there is no sense of rejection of piracy, and no one thinks it is worth making a fuss. Those software vendors who are pirated will hum a few times every now and then, yes, just hum, the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, as if to deal with an errand. Their attitude is still like this, which department will really make a big deal about the piracy problem of its subordinate units.

But ignoring is indifference, and no leader dares to say clearly that piracy is justified. On the contrary, the state has always taken the fight against piracy as a policy, and the central leadership has more than once proposed to strengthen the awareness of intellectual property protection among the whole people. Sometimes when the central documents are issued, all units must also organize study, and the leaders of the units must also express their positions. Of course, after the statement, everyone forgot about it, after all, it's not a big deal.

This state of peace and quiet was broken by a sudden set of articles in the newspaper. If there is such a report in a newspaper, everyone will think that it may be a reporter's brain that is in the water, and it is just left to bask in the sun. You must know that reporters also have a workload in the newspaper office, and some reporters usually paddle too much, and when they can't make up the workload at the end of the month, they will find some old topics to fry leftovers and deal with a manuscript.

But the current situation is that seven or eight media outlets have issued similar drafts at the same time, and the content of each manuscript is different, but the theme is surprisingly consistent, and the leaders of various units have to think about it. Generally speaking, this kind of manuscript sent out at the same time often represents a kind of wind direction, sometimes it is the superior leader who wants to promote something, and sometimes it is a stakeholder who is carrying out public relations propaganda.

Either way, it means that this matter cannot be taken lightly, at the very least, you need to understand the relevant situation first, so as to be prepared. Otherwise, if the higher-level leaders really investigate and don't know anything, how can they explain?

The minister's request was to understand the situation, and when the director was there, it became a serious investigation and serious handling. Even Tang Zifeng received a call from Liu Yanping, asking him to count the use of CAD on the first machine, and asked that if piracy is used, it should be deleted immediately, and it is best to even make a low-level format of the hard disk, so that the corpse can be destroyed and the traces must not be found out.

"Sister Liu, your computer knowledge has increased, and you even understand low-level formatting. ”

Tang Zifeng snickered, and couldn't help but praise Liu Yanping's erudition.

"Xiao Tang, don't take it lightly, this matter, everyone analyzes that it may be that the central leader has spoken, and the next step may be to catch a few typical examples to show the public, don't hit the muzzle. Liu Yanping said seriously. The matter of low-level formatting was told to her by the new network administrator in the bureau, and she is also learning and selling.

"Sister Liu, you know, the CAD of our Linyi machine was originally brought by me to Tuaohua, and they gave it to us for free, and it is definitely not piracy. Tang Zifeng replied solemnly.

Liu Yanping said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, I remembered this." Don Jr., you still have the foresight, I remember someone proposed that you can use pirated software, and you don't have to spend that unjust money. It was you who insisted on using the genuine version, and in the case of insufficient funds, you went to the company to go to public relations and asked people to give you software. In this way, some people think that you were doing too much at that time. ”

Hanging up Liu Yanping's phone, Tang Zifeng laughed out loud while standing on the street, causing passers-by to look sideways, not knowing what medicine this young man had taken wrong.

It was actually rumored to be the meaning of the central leadership, and it was also said that a few typical examples might be caught to show the public, who said that the imagination of the melon-eating masses in the organs was not rich enough?

What's going on with this group of reports, others are like falling into a fog, but Tang Zifeng's heart is as transparent as a mirror. Because this set of reports was originally planned by him, even those shocking headlines were plagiarized by him from a certain newspaper publication in later generations.

Regarding the situation of pirated software in China, Tang Zifeng does not have any exact statistics, but he knows that others also have no data, so as long as he dares to compile it, others will have to believe it if they don't believe it. For example, piracy caused the loss of 10 billion yuan in Tuao software, which is completely a figure made up by Tang Zifeng patting his head, and when he fooled venture capital in the previous life, the number he made up was even more appalling than this. If you don't know how to tell a story, are you embarrassed to say that you are an entrepreneur?

In addition to the data, the cases of those companies and schools are all real and credible. Tang Zifeng has traveled south and north over the years, and has dealt with the three religions and nine streams a lot, and has accumulated countless jokes of all kinds, throwing a few out at will, plus some Spring and Autumn brushwork, which is enough to bluff people.

There are so many manuscripts, of course, Tang Zifeng can't write them alone. Even if he writes well, it is difficult for him to write articles with different styles that make people think that they are written by the reporters themselves. Under him, there is a team of writers led by Li Jia, a reporter from the factory newspaper, from which previous articles denigrating Korean culture came from. As soon as Tang Zifeng told the writers of the copywriting team his thoughts, everyone was familiar with the manuscript.

With the manuscript, the next link is to see the newspaper. Obviously, these manuscripts cannot be published by a few tabloids, and only by publishing them in large newspapers can they achieve the desired effect of Tang Zifeng. The publication of large newspapers is still relatively particular, at least it must not contradict the major policies of the state.

Tang Zifeng asked Li Jia to contact the reporters of these newspapers, and he personally introduced the content of these manuscripts to the reporters. In fact, the theme of these manuscripts is completely politically correct, and the fight against piracy is something that the state has always advocated, and what is wrong with these manuscripts exposing the current situation of piracy in China and demanding strict enforcement of intellectual property rights?

Since there was no problem politically, Tang Zifeng asked Li Jia to stuff the reporters with a generous amount of travel and horse fares, and of course the reporters actively signed the words "This newspaper reporter XX XX" in front of the manuscript, and then handed it to the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief inevitably had to ask the reporter why he suddenly published a manuscript on such a topic, and the reporters said so and so much about the caliber they learned from Tang Zifeng, so that the editor-in-chief also felt that criticizing the phenomenon of piracy was a good topic, so he waved his pen:

Hair!

These details are unknown to outsiders, and even the editors-in-chief who approved the publication do not know that they have become part of a plan. They only know that they have signed a politically sound manuscript, and who will pay attention to the fact that other media outlets have also published articles on the same topic at the same time?

A wave of crackdowns on pirated CAD software was thus stirred.
