Chapter 1739: See You in Court

Taking your children out for a honeymoon may have been a shame a few years ago, but in fact, such things are not uncommon within the Weizhi Group.

It is indeed very common for the entities under the group to be called 'wage earners' and now 'migrant workers'.

Fu Zhengyi understands the reasons why the workers come out to work, and also understands the suffering of the workers who come out to work, and knows better what sweatshops are all about, so he has always been vigilant, and has never considered the need to cover up through certain 'methods and skills', especially in the past few years when it was difficult to find jobs and the surplus situation of labor was still relatively serious, he stipulated the working hours and minimum wages of the workers in the factory in the form of rules and regulations, and also required the establishment of complete recreational facilities in the living quarters of the factory. It provided a smooth channel for employee complaints, and later established a roving inspection system, requiring a special person from the group inspection department to ensure that incidents such as those of Foxconn do not occur.

As for the plagiarism incident that occurred in Weizhi Reading, he knows that this is a serious challenge to copyright protection, and it is also an excellent opportunity to strengthen copyright awareness and prevent similar situations from happening.

The potential income of the promotion of a hot IP may exceed 100 million, but if you are concerned about the reputation of only knowing how to read and unconditionally tolerate the infringer, it is tantamount to digging your own grave, and it will make the copyright protection atmosphere that has been erected in China disappear!

Fu Zhengyi is not worried about short-term temporary losses, what he is worried about is that if such an act cannot be punished as it should be, it will lead to a resurgence of piracy and plagiarism!

Back in the study, he calmed down and read the briefing sent by Tong Tiantian, and learned that the plagiarized author had officially filed a labor dispute arbitration with the arbitration institution, and at the same time found the media to complain about Weizhi Reading, claiming that Weizhi Reading had long deducted the authors' salaries, and tried to embezzle the copyright transfer money of her works in the name of plagiarism.

Of course, Tong Tiantian's counterattack was also decisive and sharp, and immediately took out the standard contract of Weizhi Reading, and issued an official statement, indicating that the company had already agreed in the contract signed by the author that the distribution of copyright transfer money or copyright advance payment was based on the premise that the work itself did not involve infringement, so the labor arbitration itself was nonsense, and the company also submitted evidence to the court on behalf of the authors who suffered infringement, and would go to court with Xiaoxiang, the contracted author suspected of plagiarism.

It's just that Tong Tiantian herself knows that if the court finally disagrees with the evidence provided here and finally decides that Xiaoxiang wins the lawsuit, then the situation of Weizhi Reading will be embarrassing.

Xiaoxiang didn't even let her go, she was smiling nonsense in front of the media, and said that Summer was in the crew or something, and almost all the headlines in the domestic entertainment page were covered by this...... That's right, that's right, Xia originally thought that the conditions I offered would definitely be acceptable to Xiaoxiang, but unexpectedly, even she was beaten upside down, and she was also said to be a lobbyist for Weizhi Entertainment and a representative of the management......"

dialed Tong Tiantian's phone, and her remarks made Fu Zhengyi a little surprised, shameless to this extent, this Xiaoxiang seemed to be hopeless, so he laughed and said. "Xiaoxiang is a screenwriter, she explains to the crew that it is her job to set up characters, as long as she is not brain-dead, she will never launch anything against the summer, but the summer can't accept this kind of situation where turning her face is faster than turning a book, you can accompany her more these days, and then you can't come out to relax......"

She can't even eat these days after reading the report, but it's good to be like this now, Weizhi Reading has obtained the authorization of forty-two contracted authors, and the court will be held next week, and the company's legal counsel feels that winning the case is not a big problem, the key is how it will be judged in the end......

"Since this Xiaoxiang thinks that she is famous, she has an identity and social status, and she can coerce the company in turn, then no matter how much money is spent, this case must be outcome, and the judgment of this case must be case-based, if it can't effectively deter those who are lucky, then there is no point in this lawsuit!"

The matter has reached the stage where it needs to be seen in court, so Tong Tiantian naturally studied the relevant legal provisions and hesitated. "But if he really wins the lawsuit, Xiaoxiang not only needs to pay civil compensation, but may also need to bear the criminal consequences, according to the laws of the country, he can be sentenced to up to seven years and a fine......"

clicked on the relevant article on the computer in the study, Fu Zhengyi saw what the legal profession said about this case, sighed and said. "Poor people must have something to hate! The key is that this Xiaoxiang is fearless, she thinks that pulling Weizhi Entertainment and Weizhi Group into it can muddy the waters, and she can make you cast a mouse trap, she is smart but is clever and mistaken! I remember you said that she already got a million in the copyright advance payment, if this case continues to develop, the TV series is released, and the movie enters the stage of preparation, then the amount involved in the case will exceed 100 million, and it is definitely the type of 'huge amount of illegal gains', and it is never an exaggeration to say that he did it himself……”

"In fact, many of the authors who were plagiarized by Xiaoxiang still hope that Xiaoxiang will come up with a sum of money to make compensation or compensation, only the author who was plagiarized by her insisted on Xiaoxiang's public apology, otherwise I don't know if I can move so many contracted authors to authorize the company and help them fight this class action lawsuit. You must know that this kind of lawsuit is not only protracted, but the related costs are also unbelievable, I talked to one of the authors, she said that she was plagiarized more than 6,000 words, more than 30 natural paragraphs, although she knew that Xiaoxiang was plagiarized, but she didn't think she could afford so much time, energy and money to fight a lawsuit with Xiaoxiang......"

"Yes, people who have been infringed feel that the degree of infringement is slight and not worth fighting, so this will also lead to the trend of plagiarism in some fields in China, not ashamed of plagiarism, but proud of the success of plagiarism, the root cause of weak copyright awareness, or because the price of the lawsuit cannot be paid, and there is no time and energy, which eventually leads to the current situation," Fu Zhengyi paused for a moment when he said this, and said after thinking about it seriously. "In this way, you can initiate the establishment of a copyright protection and litigation fund with only knowledge reading as the main body, no matter which industry or field, if it involves plagiarism and plagiarism, then you can seek the help of the fund......"

"Wow, you want me to pay for it?"

"The sooner you are protected, the sooner you will benefit! The comprehensive promotion of popular IP will definitely make Weizhi Reading a listed company with a valuation of more than 100 billion, believe me, yes......

"That's right!"

Tong Tiantian's snatching was almost synchronous, so the two of them laughed together......
