Chapter 420: Take a look
And the effect of this free advertisement is very good, which is better than spending a lot of money to ask SHE to endorse "World of Warcraft".
During that period of time, it can be regarded as the honeymoon period of Blizzard's NetEasy and the producers of "My Name is MT". Everything in this world is about interests, as long as you can bring enough benefits to others, infringement or not infringement is a trivial matter.
It's like World of Warcraft
Clothing (one of the more famous nostalgic private clothes in Europe), Blizzard does not plan to come out of the nostalgic clothing to eat the old book, for
The service is also to turn a blind eye, and not see it at all.
But then Blizzard went downhill and decided to eat nostalgic clothes, and Blizzard started to do it
The service initiated a lawsuit, and let it at any cost
Serve off. Because of the previous one
did not block Blizzard's way, nor did it substantially infringe on Blizzard's interests, after all
Service is not profitable!
But when
When the service infringes on Blizzard's interests, it becomes the biggest competitor of Blizzard's nostalgic service, in order to eliminate this competitor, Blizzard spends a lot of money to hire a good lawyer, put
The service is directly related to the service.
Activision Blizzard is, after all, a tool of capitalists, and the only thing that can determine all the standards of action of this company is profit.
When "My Name is MT" sold its game copyright and the resulting card game threatened Blizzard's "Hearthstone", Blizzard turned its face and directly launched a copyright lawsuit against "My Name is MT"!
Blizzard is not a copyright maniac Disney, you dare to infringe on Disney, wait for the defendant to die! Disney is a student singing their Disney brother, all of which are infringement! Even for the sake of profit, they spend money to lobby the White House and Congress to extend the copyright of their Mickey Mouse Donald Duck. Otherwise, in terms of time, the copyrights of many of Disney's early animations have long expired.
The reason why David Copperfield was more impressed with "My Name is MT" was because Blizzard Huaxia sued "My Name is MT" game infringement before, and David Copperfield, who was the vice president at the time, was responsible. However, Huaxia's law made Bliccard Huaxia cry and laugh, and in the end he could only reconcile with the other party, take a small amount of money and leave.
"My name is MT is a fanart for our company's flagship product, World of Warcraft, which was made by a group of enthusiastic players and is very creative. The anime is not profitable, and yet—" David Copperfield organizes the language, ostensibly in a very official manner, "the game copyright derived from this work is a disguised infringement of our Blizzard. It's a pity that your country is a little weak in terms of copyright protection, and it is difficult for us at Blizzard to defend our legal rights. ”
Although this answer is very official, it also shows the attitude of Blizzard Huaxia and even the entire Activision Blizzard towards "My Name is MT".
This attitude did not surprise Yang Xiaotian, and most copyright holders did so, especially in Huaxia. For example, Mr. Jin Yong, many authors write about Jin Yong's fanfics for profit, but Jin Yong turns a blind eye, why? The cost of litigation is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses! But there is an author who wants to make a movie after writing Jin Yong's fandom, which angers Jin Yong and initiates a copyright lawsuit.
In other words, infringement is okay for profit, but it can't be done on a large scale or if it's too blatant. The people of Jing Rulong's company obviously understand this unspoken rule, and their "My Name is MT4" is infringing, but all kinds of makeovers are not blatant at all.
Under normal circumstances, even if Blizzard Huaxia knows that there is an infringement of "My Name is MT4", nine times out of ten it will ignore it, and more is better than less. After working hard to fight a lawsuit, fighting for a year and a half, you may get a small amount of money in the end, this is the reality of Huaxia now.
In Huaxia, plagiarism is still easy to be forgiven, and plagiarists are thriving, not to mention the infringement of the same person, which is easier to forgive.
Unless Blizzard Huaxia has a powerful official background in Huaxia and has some big leaders to support it, but as far as the "World of Warcraft" card was approved that year, Blizzard Huaxia obviously has no powerful network.
"I also run a game company and make cultural products. Yang Xiaotian said very seriously, "I am also very dissatisfied with the aspect of copyright protection in my country, it is too hasty! Many times, we can only do nothing." However, there is a famous big man in my country named Liu Bei, he once said a sentence, don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small. I think so!"
"Don't take the good as small, don't take the evil as small?" David Copperfield savored this sentence and sighed, "Your country deserves to be an ancient civilization, and the words of the ancients in your country are always full of wisdom and philosophy!"
Yang Xiaotian said: "The reason why I mentioned "My name is MT" is because I found that a company called [Tianshiwang] has released a game called "My Name is MT4", which is an infringement of Chiguoguo for your company. Out of righteous indignation, I could not sit idly by and ignore such an act, so I asked you, Mr. David Copperfield, to come over. ”
David Copperfield was dumbfounded.
He really wanted to ask Yang Xiaotian if he was a dog with a mouse, meddling in his affairs, and what did it have to do with you Yang Xiaotian.
However, David Copperfield naturally couldn't say what he was thinking, but said seriously: "There are still people who dare to infringe on such unscrupulous rights? I'll investigate it when I go back! "My name is TM4", right? I remember!"
David Copperfield's words are naturally perfunctory, and since the lawsuit with the card game "My Name is MT" has failed, David Copperfield has lost his enthusiasm for litigation in China. If this "My name is MT4" is excessive, David Copperfield will sue, but if this game is just a general infringement, David Copperfield plans to see if he can extort a sum of money, if not, just turn a blind eye!
However, Yang Xiaotian would not let David Copperfield fool the past so much, only to see Yang Xiaotian take out his alien notebook and say: "Their game has not been launched yet, but I have already obtained this game through a special channel, and now I will show this game to Mr. David Copperfield." I believe that Mr. David, you will be able to distinguish their egregious infringement. ”
David Copperfield felt more and more that Yang Xiaotian was really a dog and a mouse, and was nosy, but since Yang Xiaotian took out his notebook, David Copperfield could only pretend to be very interested and said, "Then I'll take a look!"
