Chapter 811: The Internet War Resumes
"Mr. Dong, my side has made preparations, the evidence that should be collected has been collected, and all the evidence chains are there. When are we going to do it?"
In Dong Xiaoxue's office, Fang Zhiyan was talking to her secretly.
What they are talking about has also been planned for a long time, and Dong Xiaoxue is busy with Facebook film and television media during this time.
And Fang Zhiyan's legal department of the group company is extremely busy.
If they want to do this, once it is made public, it will inevitably set off stormy waves again!
"Now that you're ready, let's do it!" Dong Xiaoxue said without hesitation.
The two looked at each other and smiled, it was really fun to follow a boss who was both rich and uncompromising.
Many companies, when their interests are invaded by others, have too many concerns and dare not fight back.
But when working at Facebook, there is no such problem.
No matter who the opponent is, if anyone dares to touch me, then I will definitely give you a head-on blow!
............
On March 10, the domestic Internet industry once again caused a sensation because of an announcement by Facebook.
"Facebook Entertainment Takes the Lead in Establishing the China Online Music Video Anti-Piracy Alliance, and Officially Sues Baidu!"
The "China Online Music Video Anti-Piracy Alliance" is not only Facebook Entertainment, but also includes the China Film Copyright Association, the China Directors Association, the China Actors Association, the China Screenwriters Association, the American Film Association, the European Film Associations, the Overseas Promotion Organization for the Circulation of Japanese Content Products, major record companies in Europe and the United States, major film companies in Europe and the United States, and major domestic film media companies......
It's a huge lineup!
The global music, film and television circles are basically involved.
In China, Facebook Entertainment has the strength and relationship to be able to take the lead in such a huge lineup.
Because of Facebook Video and Facebook Music, when purchasing songs, film and television rights last year, they formed a friendly cooperative relationship with those institutions.
For the proliferation of piracy on the Internet in China, all parties in the alliance have suffered for a long time and have long been miserable.
This time, Facebook Entertainment stood up and wanted to take the lead in doing this, and the cost of prosecution was borne exclusively, and only the support of alliance partners was needed.
Then it would be easy to do, it would be nothing more than a show of solidarity in the media, and it would cost nothing.
And things also involve their own vital interests, who wouldn't want to do it.
Thus, the huge anti-piracy coalition was formed.
As soon as it was established, it aimed at the largest source of online piracy, Baidu!
The announcement claimed that Baidu used its search advantage to provide the public with a large number of film and television programs through Baidu video, Baidu video and other web pages and software, through directional links, point-to-point transmission, embedded browser playback plug-ins and active promotion.
Baidu's infringement of video websites covers four major areas: PC web pages, PC clients, mobile clients and TV boxes, and the forms of infringement are mainly in the form of hotlinking and providing technical, traffic, and revenue support for pirated video websites.
In the process of infringement, although Baidu claims that these pirated infringements are the personal actions of netizens and have nothing to do with the website.
However, after investigation and evidence collection, there is sufficient evidence to show that all piracy and infringement are committed by Baidu.
Through these piracy infringements, Baidu obtains a large number of direct or indirect benefits, such as traffic, daily active users, advertising costs, etc.
The China Online Music Video Anti-Piracy Alliance demands that Baidu immediately stop all piracy and infringement, remove relevant websites and software from the shelves for rectification, and compensate and apologize for past violations!
At the same time, Facebook Entertainment announced that the company's Facebook video and Facebook music will use technical countermeasures from now on to completely prohibit Baidu crawlers from accessing, including but not limited to crawlers and Baidu video crawlers!
As soon as the announcement came out, the entire network was a sensation.
This is clearly Facebook's going to do Baidu......
Whether it is Internet practitioners or ordinary netizens, everyone is extremely concerned about this war.
Because this is related to everyone's vital interests, whether it is peers or netizens.
For netizens, cracking down on piracy is obviously not a good thing, because that means monopoly.
Once monopolized, users have no choice but to let the monopoly company fish and meat.
If the monopoly company has a good conscience, it is considered lucky, what if the monopoly company loses its conscience?
It's better to be rampant with piracy, everyone can watch whatever they want, watch it wherever they want, and don't have to spend a penny!
So this part of netizens began to spray Facebook Entertainment Company and this so-called anti-piracy alliance on the Internet.
"Don't do it blindly, is there anything wrong with Baidu doing this, people are just for the welfare of netizens. Baidu didn't make a penny from our netizens, a conscientious enterprise!"
"That's it.,Why sue Baidu.,Since I have,It's convenient for me to find the movies I want to watch.γThe songs I want to listen to.γIt's convenient to watch.,As long as you search casually.,Dozens or hundreds of results for me to choose.,It's all money-free!"
"Facebook video and Facebook music want to defeat Baidu Video and Audio, and then start charging for it, right? Don't do this, if you charge it, who can afford to watch movies and listen to songs, I'm still a student. β
"Yes, many netizens are students and have no money. Please, Facebook, don't sue Baidu, it's also for the majority of netizens. β
The comments of these netizens made people really angry and funny, and they didn't bother to refute them.
Of course, there is still a film where netizens are more rational and sensible, and they understand a truth better.
That is, if everyone does piracy and infringement, no one will create high-quality products!
Because you have spent countless energy and financial resources to make high-quality products, but other websites directly "take" and use them without spending a penny, but you can't receive a penny of income.
In the long run, who will be going to do the content?
Everyone plagiarizes and pirates each other, whoever makes the content is stupid X!
So, what awaits the entire industry can only be death......
"Those who support Baidu, can they have a little three views! Facebook Entertainment's Facebook videos and Facebook music, all the movies, TV series, and songs on them have spent a lot of money to buy the copyright. I remember last year there was a news that Facebook Entertainment spent more than a billion yuan just to purchase various copyrights!
People have to survive as a business, they have invested so much, they haven't made a penny, and the content has been stolen by Baidu, if you are replaced, will you be happy?
I put my words here, I support Facebook Entertainment to sue Baidu. And in the future, if Facebook video and Facebook music are charged, I will also buy a membership or something at my discretion.
It's a matter of course to pay for what you like.
Those who say that they are students and have no money, please go and study hard, otherwise, in another ten or twenty years, you will also have no money to buy what you like......"
This is a long article posted by a big V opinion on Facebook, angrily criticizing those remarks on the Internet with incorrect views, and standing firmly on the side of Facebook Entertainment.
There are not many big Vs like him, and soon after the announcement of Facebook Entertainment, various media people or Facebook Vs have spoken out one after another.
Everyone unanimously criticized the bad behavior of Baidu and various pirate websites on the Internet, supported Facebook Entertainment's reasonable and legal rights protection, and called on all netizens to raise their awareness of copyright.
This is the advantage of mastering the propaganda position, plus this time Facebook Entertainment originally occupied the commanding heights morally.
The wind of public opinion began to tilt one-sided......
............
In the capital, inside Baidu's headquarters, a group of executives sat in a conference room and looked at each other.
"Speak, what should we do now? Mr. Wang, tell me first, is there any good countermeasure?" Mr. Li asked with a gloomy face.
The person he named was the director of Baidu's external public relations department, which is also his job.
Director Wang is also extremely depressed, Baidu has not faced prosecution or anything, in fact, it is the norm to be sued all day long in this business.
Because a lot of things do infringe on the interests of other websites.
However, in the face of such a loud and large-scale thing, and it was a thunderstorm when it just came up, and the wind was one-sided, it was really the first time......
In the past, there was no other company with such power.
For Facebook, Baidu has not been regarded as a competitor, because the other party does not make a search engine at all, and there is no overlap between the two businesses.
So there's no competition.
I never thought that now the face spectrum would actually target itself, and as soon as he made a move, he would be heavy-handed.
If you don't handle it well, you'll have to peel off your skin if you don't die this time.
"That...... Mr. Li, I have urgently collected information before the meeting, consulted several people familiar with the matter, and consulted professional lawyers.
In general, the other party is not well-intentioned, everyone understands, in their so-called anti-piracy alliance, it is Facebook Entertainment that really pays for it, and the rest of the participants are just waving their flags and shouting.
However, we should pay more attention to these flag-waving and shouting, because there are too many aspects involved.
First of all, this matter involves so many countries, and there may be a lot of foreign media behind the scenes, and the copyright issue has always been a sensitive issue in China.
Because of copyright issues, our country is also often criticized internationally.
Now in this situation, I am very worried that the relevant departments will use us to show their attitude to the international media!"
Director Wang's words are still reasonable, he is right, Facebook Entertainment has attracted so many allies this time, and the intention is to put pressure on the first customs department!
If it's just Facebook Entertainment standing up and fighting Baidu on its own, then things are likely to be "muddy".
It dragged on for a year and a half, and asked you to submit this evidence and that evidence, and in the end, it was delayed until everyone was discouraged, and it was over.
So Facebook Entertainment made the momentum bigger, and bigger......
So big that the relevant departments dare not ignore it, let them take active action!
