Chapter 1050 Stepping on the raincoat and slipping

readx;

The window was open, the early morning wind blew the lilac gauze curtains, Tang Jing opened her sleepy eyes, her snow-white arms were still lazily lying on Zhang Ke's chest, she clearly remembered that she slept with Concubine Rong last night, why did this guy arch by his side like a pig? Tang Jing rubbed her eyes suspiciously, but she was still very comfortable on Zhang Ke's chest and wanted to sleep for a while, and asked delicately: "Why did you sleep with this pig, Concubine Rong?" ”

"Run away for me, that dead girl, you know the good things that spoil me all day long," Zhang Ke hugged Tang Jingyingying's thin waist, which could only be grasped, "Sit down a little." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Tang Jing looked at the door worriedly and said, "Don't take it off, Concubine Rong will come in......"

"How's that?"

In the early morning, the sideburns were overturned, Tang Jing was paralyzed weakly, Zhang Ke also wanted to pour out happily, but the mobile phone rang at this time.

Listening to the ringtone of the mobile phone, Tang Jing curled up as if she had woken up, struggled from Zhang Ke's body, wrapped her delicate body in a sheet of extreme beauty, no longer cared about Zhang Ke's life or death, and asked him to answer the phone with a smile.

Zhang Ke was depressed and wanted to vomit blood, this call was too inopportune, he wanted to arrest Tang Jing and answer the phone, but Tang Jing opened the door wrapped in a sheet and slipped out. Seeing that Chen Feirong's figure had just walked from the room to the aisle, Zhang Ke couldn't chase him out naked, and he had to hurry over to cover the door, it was fun to watch others go away, and show others the light...... It didn't seem to be a big deal -- Zhang Ke picked up the phone first.

It was Chen Xinsheng's call, and he had just received the notice that in the early hours of the morning, and in the afternoon in the United States, the Recording Industry Association of America agreed to drop the charges against Kumho and sign an out-of-court settlement agreement.

At the beginning of the year, the Recording Industry Association of America sued Kumho's iplayer business in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Philginia for deliberately inadequate encryption technology that prompted iPlayer users in North America to download a large number of free music infringing its intellectual property rights, and requested the federal district court to ban Kumho's iplayer business in the U.S. and propose high damages of up to $53.7 million.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia lost the first trial of Kumho, but this kind of lawsuit is like tai chi, only with enough energy and financial resources, it can fight several back and forth, and a trial is nothing at all, and Kumho continues to entangle with the American Recording Industry Association through North American companies to hire well-known law firms in North America.

In just over half a year, more than $2 million has been spent on attorneys' fees alone -- but the $2 million in attorney's fees are well worth it.

In the early days of China's participation in the GATT, the copyright lawsuit with such a high amount of compensation attracted great media attention in the United States and China, and the intellectual property dispute pursued by the Recording Industry Association of America against Aida iPlayer products was precisely the focus of the conflict between traditional audio-visual monophonic manufacturers and Internet content providers -- this lawsuit has hyped up the media far more than ordinary people imagined.

Before the Recording Industry Association of America sued, Kumho's monthly shipments of iPlayer in North America were only 40,000 units, and in half a year, it increased sharply to 130,000 units, and the total sales of iPlayer in North America exceeded MD.

To tell the truth, Zhang Ke can't wait to hug the bald head of the president of the Recording Industry Association of America and kiss him fiercely, this lawsuit that cost more than 2 million lawyers' fees, its commercial value is worth 100 million dollars in advertising - after iPlayer surpasses MD in North America, the next target is Walkman.

It is difficult for ordinary advertisements to convince North American consumers to trust high-end electronic products from China in a short period of time - the Recording Industry Association of America has been biting it, and this lawsuit is becoming more and more unfavorable to the Recording Industry Association of North America, and it is also a trustworthy and trustworthy deep impression in the minds of consumers in North America to gradually establish electronic companies from China.

Kumho can be said to have made a name for itself in the United States.

Since June, Kumho Sho has been sending more than $10 million in net profits from North America to Kumho Sho every month, and together with profits from other overseas regions, Kumho Sho's finances have been temporarily supported by total liabilities of $1.8 billion.

However, if the lawsuit is not settled, iPlayer's legal position in the North American market will not be finally secured, and the distributor will be suspicious and unwilling to cooperate more thoroughly with Kumho.

"Uh......" Zhang Ke exhaled lightly, listening to the good news delivered by Chen Xinsheng, the grievances of the interruption weakened, and said with a smile, "They also realize that they will not gain any benefit if they continue to entangle with us, and the out-of-court settlement will be ...... out-of-court settlement."

Once the final settlement agreement is signed, there will be no worries about the development of the iplayer business in North America, and of course, Kumho will also have to make some concessions to traditional audio and video manufacturers such as the Recording Industry Association of America.

Of course, the final settlement agreement will further expand Kumho's influence in North America and further strengthen Kumho's position in the North American consumer electronics market.

"After the settlement is reached, we can also start selling iPlayer in China...... Mr. Chen said on the other end of the phone.

At present, the cheapest iPlayer is also priced at more than $200 in overseas markets, and the Walkman sold by Sony in China is priced at around $100 in the market, and the overall market is relatively small. The real large number of people who fill the domestic market are mostly the walkmans produced by domestic electronics factories, and the better ones are mostly one or two hundred yuan, and the worse ones only need thirty or forty yuan.

However, there is also a high-end market in China that should not be underestimated -- just like Kumho's D188 dual-screen mobile phone, which costs more than 8,000 yuan, can become the third-best-selling model, and iPlayer has considerable market capacity in China even if it does not reduce prices -- robbing the rich has always been something Zhang Ke is willing to do, and Kumho, which holds the core intellectual property rights of iPlayer, has no need to take the initiative to reduce prices.

It's just that in the domestic copyright environment, pirated music websites have begun to flood, and Kumho wants to make domestic iplayer users pay money to download genuine music, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Before the lawsuit with the Recording Industry Association of America was settled, Kumho lifted the encryption restrictions on anti-piracy on iplayers sold in China, which was bound to give the Recording Industry Association of America an attack, although it could not be regarded as substantial evidence, it was enough to make public opinion and judges in the United States favor the Recording Industry Association of America, so Kumho has been dragging its feet and not selling iplayers in China.

Now that it is possible to reach an out-of-court settlement agreement with the Recording Industry Association of America, and the Recording Industry Association of America can only require the iplayers sold in Kumbu North America to enhance the anti-theft encryption technology in the settlement agreement, after the lawsuit in the United States is settled, Kumho is not afraid that the Recording Industry Association of America will come to China to fight a copyright lawsuit.

Of course, Kumho also provides dealers with encrypted anti-theft models, and the work of solving the problem can be done by dealers.

talked to Chen Xinsheng on the phone for a long time, during which he heard that Tang Jing and Chen Feirong had gone out, and called Tang Jing to trick her back to continue the good deeds, Tang Jing only said that she would buy breakfast with Chen Feirong for a while.

Zhang Ke reluctantly went to the bathroom to take a bath, lay down in the bathtub, soaked in hot water, and stood up in protest below, Zhang Ke could only pretend to ignore it, watching CCTV's morning news today What is not so boring, I heard Tang Jing and Chen Feirong come back, maybe the two of them went to the bedroom to help clean up the room, and after a while, I heard Chen Feirong's scream "Ah", followed by the dull sound of the human body hitting the floor.

Zhang Ke grabbed the bath towel and ran out to look, only to see the two girls sitting on the floor and laughing, the atmosphere was awkward and ambiguous, he asked strangely: "What's so funny about falling down?" ”

"You dead pig head, you know how to litter!" Tang Jing raised her hand, Zhang Ke dodged, and almost threw the sleeve in her face, it turned out that Chen Feirong stepped on this and slipped.
