Chapter 525: The Wind Direction Has Changed
"Oh, as expected, the winger won. Then our platform is ready to go live, and since the wingers are fine, then we must be fine. ”
Pengcheng, Tencent headquarters, Xiao Ma said happily to several executives.
"Yes, Ogilvy can't even fight a company like a winger, and he definitely won't dare to mess with us. If he really wants to sue us, then let him see Tencent's influence in Pengcheng, haha......"
A group of people talked and laughed, and the mood was extremely happy.
Although this lawsuit seems to have nothing to do with them, everyone in Tencent knows that it actually has a lot to do with it!
Now Tencent is taking the road of transformation, in fact, it can't be regarded as transformation, but the road is wider!
Tencent has no shortage of users and no lack of traffic, what is lacking is the means and channels for traffic monetization, and games are a new direction for them.
However, Tencent itself does not have too strong game development capabilities, and there are not many real game talents, so "borrowing" and "imitating" should be the easiest way.
So on the Tencent game platform that has not yet been launched, they not only copied Facebook games, but now they also copied winger games, and at the same time infringed Ogilvy.
Such a platform can be said to "gather the strengths of all families", and it is easy to be targeted.
If the winger loses the lawsuit this time, Tencent people really have to think about whether their platform should continue to "transform", at least they can't see at a glance that there is plagiarism and imitation.
But in fact, it was the winger who won the case, and that's the direction of the wind.
It shows that the state does not attach importance to the protection of intellectual property rights in the Internet field, so you don't have to be polite, just let it go!
If the lawsuit between Ogilvy and the winger ends like this, it will inevitably affect the development of the domestic Internet industry in the future.
Copying and copying from each other will no longer be uncontrolled, everyone you copy me, I copy you, and no one will say anyone.
The domestic Internet industry will no longer have any genius ideas, everything depends on traffic to speak, the old giants will have the advantage, see others have good ideas, then directly take it and use it, anyway, the user base is large, and you can bring down small companies if you do it casually.
It will be difficult for a new company to have a bright future, do a good job, or be acquired by a large company, or accept the investment of a large company to be a puppet, otherwise, the big company will teach you to be a man in minutes!
............
After the results of this lawsuit were posted on the Internet, it also caused heated discussions among netizens, who spoke for Ogilvy and the wingers, and everyone was in a mess.
"Haha, I'll just say, Ogilvy is really poor and crazy, what are you suing the winger? Does the winger sell pirated software? Do you make money from these games? No!"
Ogilvy has the rights to represent these games, and of course has the right to sue the wingers. On the surface, the winger does not get any benefit from these battle functions, but in fact, the winger has gained a large number of users and traffic, and this is the income! And the value of these benefits is much higher than that of selling pirated software. ”
"To be honest, from our own point of view, we still hope that the wingers can win, after all, everyone uses pirated copies, and the wingers are in the same faction. ”
"I haven't heard of Ogilvy or Mather, I really didn't expect that so many games were represented by him, and I have all these games, but they are all bought for a few dollars a plate, so they shouldn't be genuine. ”
"Ha, what about the genuine version? Do you know how much a genuine game sells for? I bought the genuine Warcraft III, and it cost more than 180 yuan. ”
"I'll go, is the genuine one so expensive......?
............
"My side has already investigated and collected evidence, and I can be ready to appeal at any time, has the Ogilvy acquisition been completed?"
In Yu Wenfei's office, he was talking to someone, and this person was Fang Zhiyan, who had just flown over from the capital.
"The formalities are being handled over there, and several lawsuits are launched at the same time, will the movement be a little too big?" Yu Wenfei said with a wry smile.
This time, Fang Zhiyan told Yu Wenfei all about his plan, of course, whether to implement it or not, the decision is in Yu Wenfei's hands.
After Yu Wenfei heard it, he was also a little smacked, these lawyers, they really don't think it's big enough.
Fang Zhiyan didn't just sue the winger game this time, he had to fight more than a dozen lawsuits at the same time, and there were as many as sixteen defendants!
If you do this, you can imagine that it will definitely cause a sensation across the country.
But Yu Wenfei is not a person who is afraid of things, he thought about it for a moment, resolutely made a decision, and did it!
While chatting, there was a knock on the office door, and a person walked in, "Mr. Fei, I'm back." ”
The person who came in was naturally Effie.
"Come, Mr. Ai, let me introduce you, this is from the capital, Fang Zhiyan Fang barrister. Lawyer Fang, this is the president of our Facebook game, the next thing, the two of you will cooperate. Yu Wenfei introduced to both sides.
Effie was slightly surprised in her heart, why did the boss specially hire a lawyer from other places, aren't there many big law firms in the magic capital, just find one.
Fang Zhiyan looked at Effie and said to Yu Wenfei with a smile: "When I arrived at Facebook, I knew the meaning of the word young talent, one you and one Ai Zong, they are all in their twenties and have achieved so much, which is really enviable." ”
"Haha, there are not many talents like Mr. Ai on Facebook. Yu Wenfei also smiled.
After the three of them sat down, Fang Zhiyan told Effie about his plan again.
"What! Really sue so many people?"
Sure enough, Effie was also shocked when she heard it, she originally planned that after getting Ogilvy, she would force the winger to remove the battle function through a lawsuit, and she didn't think about making things so big at all.
"This is our legitimate right and interest, why can't we fight for it? Are all these people I am talking about have obtained a lot of benefits by infringing on us? Fang Zhiyan asked with a smile.
"That'...... Indeed it is. Effie also had to admit that Fang Zhi's words made sense.
"So, let's go to the next big one! Strive for a game to determine the winner, so that others will never dare to provoke us in the future!" Fang Zhiyan clenched his fists and waved it vigorously.
............
That night, Yu Wenfei posted a long article on his Facebook "I saw a joke and shared it with everyone." 》
"Xiao Ming and Xiao Jun are both students, Xiao Ming is an honest child who studies hard. And Xiaojun is a smart child, but he loves to play tricks. On this day, the school held an exam, and the questions were very difficult, Xiao Ming carefully examined the questions, calculated, and meditated, and finally made all the questions.
Xiao Jun, who was sitting next to him, glanced at the test paper after getting it, it was too difficult, don't do it! Then he fell asleep, and when he was about to hand in the paper, he took advantage of Xiao Ming's inattention and quickly copied Xiao Ming's answers.
When the results were finally announced, Xiao Ming was the first and the second in the army.
The reason for the second is that Xiaojun read a wrong number when copying the question, so one point was deducted.
After Xiao Ming found out that Xiao Jun had plagiarized himself, he was very angry, so he sued the teacher, saying that Xiao Jun was also wrong and should cancel his grades.
As a result, Xiaojun quibbled, can the matter of a scholar be called plagiarism? Besides, do you say that plagiarism is plagiarism? I just borrowed your answer, don't you see, there is a question that I answer differently from you. In addition, by doing so, I also increased the average grade of the class, which is equivalent to making meritorious contributions to the class, why should you sue me!
The teacher stopped Xiaojun's phone, and he was relieved that this child had a future!
Therefore, the final result was that the teacher criticized Xiao Ming for not having a sense of collective honor and not knowing how to help each other with his classmates. For Xiaojun, he praised him a lot and encouraged him to make persistent efforts in ......the future!
Of course, the story written by Yu Wenfei was made up by himself.
After writing this story, Yu Wenfei's pen turned and shifted to the lawsuit between Ogilvy and the winger.
Because this lawsuit has the same connotation as his story.
"Doesn't it feel strange that the party who owns the copyright loses the lawsuit, but the party who infringes wins, and in this lawsuit, is the judge like the teacher in the story? His mind is full of local protectionism and bad influence, but the only thing he doesn't consider is the infringed copyright owner!
For the protection of intellectual property rights in China, there have been too many similar absurd things in recent years. Not to mention anything else, after Facebook was launched, everyone knows how many imitations and references to Facebook. The reason why Facebook did not pursue it is that it is too lazy to investigate, not that those people did not infringe......"
Then on this matter, Yu Wenfei lashed out a lot, but he deliberately controlled the scope, and only mentioned the Internet circle and the two sides of this lawsuit.
Yu Wenfei has more than 20 million fans, and many people may not have realized his influence before, but this time, a long article was issued, and the effect was immediately highlighted.
Among his fans, most of them are girls, and from the time he wrote and sold books, it can be seen that fans are genuine supporters.
Therefore, the vast majority of the comments below the article also support Yu Wenfei's point of view, believing that piracy and infringement are shameful.
After this article was issued, it was immediately reprinted by major websites and caused great repercussions.
Perhaps with Yu Wenfei taking the lead, there have been more discussions about copyright and intellectual property rights all of a sudden.
Especially in the legal field, many well-known lawyers and experts have come forward and severely criticized the performance of the judge in the Ogilvy lawsuit, believing that he is dereliction of duty!
"The law should be a way to safeguard legitimate and legitimate rights, and should not be reduced to a means of local protectionism!"
As a judge, he showed his illiteracy and irresponsibility. ”
"The infringers are at large, the rights defenders have no way to cry out, and the road to the rule of law in China is still very long. ”
............
"What's the situation? Why do you suddenly feel like the whole world is criticizing us? Obviously, we won the lawsuit! What does this have to do with Yu Wenfei, and why did he jump out to criticize us?" In the winger company, Mr. Tao said with a puzzled face.
"I ...... I feel like the wind is not going in the right direction. One partner said.
The wind has indeed changed!
Originally, Ogilvy and Mather occupied the moral high ground, and although they lost the lawsuit, no one could deny that they were victims.
It's just that no one helped them talk before, so everyone watched and watched the jokes.
But now it's different, Yu Wenfei raised his arms and shouted, it was like a cloud, and now the whole network is denouncing the infringement of the wingers, as well as the local protectionism of the Hangzhou District Court.
