"Yes, you can draw up an agreement, and this matter will be entrusted to your law firm. Yu Wenfei said dryly.

This is what he did this time, and of course he won't drag his feet.

In this joint, time is the most precious, so he is willing to spend more money to find the most reliable law firm.

As long as the earliest goal can be achieved, spending this amount of money now is nothing.

Fang Zhiyan was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent, and he calmly arranged for the assistant: "Go and get a contract." ”

After the contract is taken, some details and clauses are added, and both parties sign and seal it, which takes effect immediately.

"Alright, now it's time to tell me your full plan. Yu Wenfei said with a smile.

"Of course, if your company can acquire Ogilvy Software as soon as possible, please pay attention to Mr. Fei, the acquisition of Ogilvy is a prerequisite!" Fang Zhiyan emphasized.

Yu Wenfei nodded, Ogilvy is such a small company, and its annual revenue is only 20 or 30 million yuan, and Facebook Games now has 100 million US dollars plus 100 million yuan, which is converted into 900 million yuan, and the acquisition of Ogilvy is not easy to do.

"After the acquisition of Ogilvy, it is equivalent to Facebook...... Oh, it's Facebook Games that has the mainland copyright agent for a series of games such as Half-Life, Warcraft, and StarCraft. Next, we just need to do this......" Fang Zhiyan told his plan.

Yu Wenfei couldn't help but nod after hearing this, the professionals are professional enough, the angle is completely unexpected, originally he only planned to warn other infringing "monkeys" by killing the "chicken" of the winger game, but if you do it according to Lawyer Fang's plan, there will be additional surprises!

"Very well, you guys should act immediately, and I'll start buying Ogilvy and prepare accordingly. Yu Wenfei said decisively.

"Well, don't reveal the things we signed for the time being, because some work needs to be carried out in secret. Fang Zhiyan instructed.

............

On April 22, the lawsuit that attracted the attention of everyone in the Internet circle officially opened.

"Please get up and ......"

"Now the trial is officially opened, the plaintiff Hanzhong Ogilvy Software, the legal representative Brian. ”

"The defendant, Hangcheng Wingfeng Technology Co., Ltd., the legal representative Tao Sicheng. ”

With the solemn announcement, the lawyers of both sides entered the plea link.

Ogilvy hired a local law firm in Hangzhou, which is not large. They wanted to hire a big law firm, but the big law firm couldn't afford it.

The lawyer on the winger's side is not a big law firm, but both sides are also professionals, and it cannot be said that "rookies pecking each other".

Ogilvy lawyers said: "Ogilvy is a well-known genuine software distributor in China, and many years ago acquired the exclusive copyright rights of five online games in Chinese mainland, including "Counter-Strike", "Warcraft", "StarCraft", "Diablo" and "Age of Empires", from domestic and foreign companies such as Blizzard and Wolfford in the United States.

However, Hangcheng Winger Technology Co., Ltd. has destroyed the verification technical measures without authorization, provided the Internet game battle services of the above five games on the winger game platform of its network, and widely publicized it in large and medium-sized cities such as Magic City, Capital, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, etc., attracting countless players, making the number of registered users soar to more than 20 million, and the number of people online at the same time during peak hours is as high as 500,000, so as to obtain huge profits.

Therefore, Hanzhong Ogilvy demanded that the other party stop infringing software copyright on the Internet, and at the same time, compensate for economic losses of 2 million yuan, and publicly apologize to eliminate the impact. ......”

In this lawsuit, there are many people who come to "watch".

Not only the executives of Ogilvy and Winger came out en masse, but also many media reporters came to the scene, all of whom were quietly listening to the statements of the plaintiff's lawyers.

Of course, the plaintiff's lawyer said things that were beneficial to the plaintiff, and the defendant's lawyer was not to be outdone and immediately stood up to refute it.

The factual and legal evidence stated by the opposing lawyer's argument is insufficient and completely unacceptable.

Judging from the evidence provided by Hanzhong Ogilvy, it can only be confirmed that it has obtained the qualification of a distributor, but it cannot be seen that it has obtained the right of network communication. The corresponding object of the rights asserted by Hanzhong Ogilvy is not clear, and the claim does not specify whether the version of the so-called infringing game is in Chinese or English, because the rights obtained by it are different for different versions.

Third, after careful investigation, we believe that there are discrepancies between the electronic software descriptions and the paper manuals of many of the games represented by Ogilvy, and it is debatable whether the rights of consumers or manufacturers should be protected.

In the end, our winger game platform only provides players with a battle game platform, and winger has never and will not charge for these functions, and the reason why the number of users has skyrocketed is only because of the good game experience of the winger platform, and it has nothing to do with these games!

The argument between the two sides is very fierce, the plaintiff is biting that he owns the copyright, and the other party is infringing on the pirated dog by doing so!

The defendant is a scoundrel, saying that he has spread piracy, even if he sues, it will not be your turn to sue, let the foreigner sue me. Also, I didn't make any money on these battle games, so what are you suing me?

Everything that happened at the scene was exactly as Fang Zhiyan expected, because the corresponding domestic laws and regulations were not perfect, the terms were relatively vague, and there were many acts of piracy that could not be clearly defined as whether they were really illegal or not.

And this is the home of the winger game, even if they have nothing to do with the judge, but they will be taken care of invisibly.

Caring for local businesses is something that cannot be avoided anywhere.

The case was not complicated, after several procedures, the verdict was pronounced on the spot, the plaintiff's grounds for action were not established, Winger Games did not violate the relevant laws and regulations, the plaintiff lost the lawsuit, and had to bear all the legal costs.

Ogilvy's boss Brian jumped up in anger on the spot, and his mouth was full of words like "SHIT" and "FUCK".

The people of the winger game high-fived and cheered, and finally escaped.

Out of the courthouse, Brian was surrounded by a group of reporters.

"HELLO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE OUTCOME OF THIS LAWSUIT?"

After all, Brian has been in China for so many years, and his Chinese is still very slippery, his face is so gloomy that he seems to be dripping, and his chest rises and falls: "Damn! What can I see? What else can I see! Those people are robbers, they are thieves, they have stolen my rights!"

The winger who was walking behind heard Brian's words, and Tao retorted unhappily: "Please note that it is not your right, it is the right and freedom of the players, they have the right to decide what platform to play on and what way to choose." ”

Brian was even more angry, "Then you should first go and see if those players are using genuine game software! To put it mildly, you, including those players, are thieves! Maybe you haven't thought about it, and you won't imagine how many developers need to work tirelessly for years to develop a good game." Other people's hard work has been stolen by you so lightly with pirated CDs for five yuan a piece! As far as the mainland's copyright consciousness is concerned, you will never be recognized by the people of other countries in the world, and the mainland is still working hard to join the WTO, and sooner or later it will suffer a big loss in terms of intellectual property rights!"

Brian had a reason to be angry, but he was also a little too aggressive.

At that time in 2003, many people really couldn't afford to pay for dozens or hundreds of dollars for genuine games, and it was difficult for many people to find suitable channels if they wanted to support genuine games.

Because in many small cities, you can't buy genuine software at all.

In another ten years, after the mainland's economy takes off, people will become truly rich, and many old players will compensate for their original piracy through various channels.

MOST COMMONLY, ON THE STEAM PLATFORM, THERE ARE MANY PLAYERS WHO PAY FOR A LOT OF GAMES, BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THEM.

If a friend asks him why he did it.

It's common to joke that "I've already spent money on games, so why bother taking the time to play them." ”

But in fact, they are making amends for their past actions.

Similarly, it is the same in the film industry, how many people have said, "We all owe Xing Ye a movie ticket"!

............

No matter how frustrated and angry you are, if you lose the lawsuit, you lose.

Brian took several executives back to the hotel where he lived in frustration, and on the way, one executive suggested: "Let's appeal, this verdict is obviously unfair!"

Someone next to him retorted to him, "Before coming, everyone was actually mentally prepared, but they still had a glimmer of hope." Now that the situation is clear, there is little use in appealing. ”

As soon as I walked into the hotel lobby, the lobby manager of the hotel greeted me, "Is it Mr. Brian, there are a few guests waiting for you." ”

Brian was stunned, he didn't have any friends here, could it be a media reporter.

However, he immediately denied it, and if it was a reporter, he would definitely go to the courtroom.

"Take me there. "Brian decided to go and see who it was.

Led by the lobby manager, Brian went to the café on the second floor.

It's daytime, and it's inside the hotel again, so naturally there aren't many people drinking coffee here, so the few people sitting inside are very conspicuous.

"That's the guys. The lobby manager gestured with his hand.

Brian walked straight over, "Are you looking for me?"

A very young-looking girl stood up, and Brian was surprised to find that this group of people seemed to be the real leader.

"Hello Mr. Brian, are you going to sell Ogilvy? ”

As soon as the girl spoke, Brian was stunned.
