"The day before yesterday, a lawyer who claimed to be Apple Hujiang came to me, threatened me and said that I had broken the law, and asked me to explain the source of the jailbreak software - so funny, in fact, I just casually complained that the mobile phone is not easy to use, I don't know if a boy helped me get it, what do I know?"

"This is also called a crime? I didn't use pirated software, I didn't even care about Sina, who does Apple Mad Dog think he is? With such a long hand, what should you do extraterritorially?"

This is the latest news on Ma and Sha's personal Weibo, which was released on October 11. Before the release, the number of Ma and Sha's Weibo followers was fixed at 660,000. But after these two Weibo posts were released, it didn't take long for her to become a Weibo hotspot again.

Countless netizens who don't necessarily have a positive outlook, and the angry young people who always complain about "little fresh meat" and "traffic women's watches", because they saw someone openly scolding apples, they were suddenly brushed into fans of Ma and Sha, and as a result, the number of fans of Ma and Sha ushered in a wave of skyrocketing again.

In just one day, her followers exceeded 700,000, and the next day it was 800,000. After all, at that time, there was still a lot of backlog of people who couldn't afford Apple products in China and wanted to spray them. However, public opinion resources that openly scold apples, have legitimate reasons, and are impermeable to acid, are relatively scarce. So as long as one is caught, many people will vent the pleasure of that attention.

It's like, if a person openly scolds the rich, but the reason is not right, the poor still have to weigh it, and if he agrees, will he be labeled "because he can't afford it, so he sprays." I don't have the ability, so I can't afford to eat grapes and say that grapes are sour".

And if the reasons are correct and the concerns of the poor about being labelled are dispelled, the effect of the mob's full release is striking.

Of course, that doesn't mean that those netizens who hate Apple are really good people or aren't good people. In fact, there are three categories:

One is really educated, cultivated, and self-aware, and then attaches great importance to free will, so he doesn't like the tyrant Joe old thief. They can afford it and don't bother to buy it.

It is not excluded that some of them are purely because they are extremely poor, so they squirt and vent.

Finally, there is another category that cannot be ignored, that is, those who are poor and cannot afford to buy apples, but whose personality and education are really good, and they also have extraordinary knowledge. There are also yes

(In a word, I didn't say that people who don't use apples are necessarily more noble than apples, because people's reasons and motivations for not using apples can also be divided into several categories.) So, don't lead the war. ）

But in any case, the effect that Feng Jianxiong let Ma and Sha pursue was firmly achieved.

Any thing that can be done for the first time in public opinion will always cause a sensation.

……

The blog post was like a whip, whipping Mr. Rammond's face with heat.

"Bang!" Rammond slammed his desk.

In the years he has been in China, he has been accustomed to seeing the lowliness of fruit fans, and is accustomed to seeing the groveling and worship of Chinese consumers, and it is the first time he has seen people with the identity of "consumers" so shameless and so deadly sticking to apples to make mistakes.

After all, what he was going to deal with this time was not a business competitor or enemy, so he was not mentally prepared for this kind of backlash at all.

Not only him, but also the brand operation department and legal department of the entire Apple Greater China Region are not mentally prepared.

Because in their opinion, if a person buys an Apple product, then it should be a fan of the Apple brand first, right? If a person does something rough and offensive to his fans, the fans will rarely come back.

Just like some concerts, if a singer plays a vulgar role, the audience who bought tickets on the spot is rarely more serious - if you are more serious, why do you still pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to see him?

LIKE MA HESHA, WHO IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN APPLE FAN, BUT STILL BROKE THROUGH THE BLOCKADE, OVERCAME ALL DIFFICULTIES TO BUY AN IPHONE-3GS MOBILE PHONE TO POST ON WEIBO, AND FINALLY WAS SO TOUGH ON APPLE, ISN'T THIS IDLE AND NOTHING, SPENDING MONEY TO FIND GUILT?

However, when things get so big, there is no possibility of goodness. In the three or four months since Weibo was launched, many functions have been improved, a lot of early users have accumulated, and the ecological chain and attention chain of forwarding have been established.

These developments have been forwarded by countless people, and it is a great loss of goodwill for any party to admit and back down.

Therefore, even if Apple Greater China did not plan to fight this lawsuit at the beginning, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, so it can only be fought hard.

The first-hand information collected from Lawyer Cai and Xiao Xu has also been summarized here at Lamond.

FROM THAT EVIDENCE, RAMMOND SAW A LEAKER WHO NOT ONLY REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE UNAUTHORIZED BETA APP INSTALLATION FILES, BUT ALSO REFUSED TO HAND OVER THE ACCESS TO THE CRACKED SYSTEM AND ROOT TECHNOLOGY. even blatantly posted on Weibo in the end to ridicule Apple's die-hard "anti-counterfeiting behavior".

I can only have a hard anus.

An individual who can force an international giant to this point is also drunk. It's just that every step in this big trouble seems to be so coincidental and harmless to humans and animals, but it is shuttled and woven between a series of subtle and mysterious laws and principles, and finally formed the current situation, so that no one knows when and where they were entangled in this big net.

Like a cobweb, although not tightly tied, it is sticky, disgusting, and lingering.

"Mr. Lamond, it's a pleasure to work with you, I don't know what to order. A senior lawyer in his forties and fifties walked into his office and asked softly.

The other party flew from the capital today.

"Mr. Du, sit. Rammond looked up, glanced at the other man, and showed a rare amount of politeness.

The lawyer on the other side was specially invited by him, and he is also one of the top intellectual property barristers in China, Director Du Qiu Mingdu of Jingcheng Dingge Law Firm.

Don't look at this Du Qiuming was once cheated by Feng Jianxiong, at least because of this, he lost tens of millions of dollars every year, and also lost two big customers. But after all, he is one of the top three barristers in the intellectual property industry in Sijiu City, and his roots are still there.

What's more, if it weren't for Du Qiuming's ruthless vision and meticulous work, he really wouldn't have the ability to follow Feng Jianxiong's strategy of making money in the Review Committee of the State Intellectual Property Bureau-after all, those people who are stupider than Du Qiuming can't even see Feng Jianxiong's cattiness.

He could see it, but he slowed down a few beats.

Considering that the person who is suing in China must be a Chinese lawyer. And those American lawyers are not qualified to practice law if they do not take a license in China, so this kind of lawsuit against domestic individuals in China can only be managed by lawyers from top domestic law firms.

Those of Apple's top lawyers in the United States are not needed here.

And Du Qiuming had already decided to lurk his minions and secretly guard against him, vowing to avenge the revenge he had been pitted by Feng Jianxiong.

Therefore, when I heard that a top giant like Apple in the world in terms of market capitalization asked him to deal with Feng Jianxiong, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to put all his net worth and life on the ticket to prove to his employer that he would definitely kill Feng Jianxiong.

hit it off, and there is this scene today.

"OUR COMPANY HAS OFFICIALLY DECIDED TO SUE MA AND SHA, AS WELL AS SOME OTHER USERS WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVE THAT THEY HAVE SUBJECTIVELY AND INTENTIONALLY HACKED THE IOS SYSTEM AND RUN THE WEIBO APP ON THE IPHONE-3GS. Mr. Du, I hope you will give me a satisfactory plan. ”

Du Qiuming sat down on the sofa and finally confirmed: "Sue an individual? Of course, there is no problem in theory, but such a case can't drag the other party to death, and even if it wins, it won't be much, so Mr. Lamond should be prepared." ”

"We're not in it for the money!"

……

The most common tactic used by large multinational companies to deal with small defendants, or even small plaintiffs - that is to say, when those large multinational companies themselves are infringing parties and infringe on the rights and interests of others, and the defendants are defendants - is to respond to the lawsuit first, and then delay.

Delay the litigation process.

Lawsuits with a high amount of subject matter, such as patent infringement, often mean that the litigation costs are also high, and commercial lawsuits often do not allow for the reduction or deferment of litigation fees. Therefore, if an international giant infringes on the technology patents of some small companies or individuals, when the individual wants to file a lawsuit, he or she often cannot even make up the prepaid litigation fees.

Even if the litigation fees are collected, the lawyer's fees in many cases are even higher, and it is definitely not possible to win without spending a lot of money to hire a famous lawyer, and the delay is not enough, so the victim can only pursue a quick out-of-court settlement and take a few dollars to accept it.

Anyway, for such a thing as a lawsuit, a day of delay is a day's cost. The simplest and most brainless thing to deal with the small cost is to drag it to death.

However, this trick is ineffective when Apple wants to deal with Ma and Saya and others now.

The other party is just an ordinary consumer, and even if there is infringement, the subject matter of Apple's claim will not be high, and the litigation fee will not be much if it is written to the sky.

What's more, Ma Hesha's lawyer is obviously Feng Jianxiong. Therefore, relying on litigation fees and lawyer fees to directly drag the other party to death, there is no need to think about it.

The giants and the little people are back on the same starting line.

Du Qiuming had to make these difficulties clear to Rammond first, so as not to be responsible afterwards.

Rammond endured his nausea and said that he knew it all and didn't want to dwell on these points anymore.

He just needs to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, get his face back, and win back the righteous name, it's enough.

"Okay, then let me say the following point - since you mainly sue Ma Hesha, according to China's Civil Procedure Law, the plaintiff is the defendant, and there is no obvious infringement in this matter, so I have to go to the court in Jinling to sue. Even if the 'major foreign-related' is taken into account, the first instance will be tried in the Jinling Intermediate People's Court. That's okay, right?" Du Chuming smoothed out his train of thought and decided to have a showdown with Lamond on the second trouble point.

"What's wrong with that? We Americans don't care which court is in session, it's all the same! Are we still afraid that they will fight at home? What about Jinling, for Apple, any place in China is the home field!" Lamond said proudly, as if blaming Du Qiuming for having a little belly.

He didn't think the trivial question of which court to litigate in was worth considering.

"If you think so, that's for the best, I'm just reminding. Then get over it. Du Qiuming was not angry, but just confirmed, "I have one last difficult point that I want to confirm with you - in the name of which company do you want to file these lawsuits?"
