The Beijing District Court has been cautious about the case in which several companies have accused the PCFANS Club of loading logic bombs into the beta version of Thunderbolt's antivirus software.

This is not to say how dedicated the judges are, but these people in the Beijing circle, at least they all know how powerful Fan Ting's background is, in terms of the strong strength of Fan's Investment Group, it is much stronger than Microsoft, how can you not be cautious when dealing with such a company?

Besides, this also involves the influence of Member Fan Heng, if you offend him, your future career will inevitably be affected to a certain extent.

But up to now, the PCFANS club did not put forward any too strong reaction, and also indifferently accepted the court's summons, the first appearance in court will be held soon, when many people in the Beijing media will come to the hearing, it is said that it was originally a gift of bystander permits, but it was sold at a high price privately by the court, and now it is a rare vote, and there are not a few people who spend thousands of yuan to buy licenses.

After Fan Wuxian sent Shen Ying back to the Shen family's home in the capital, he rushed to the PCFANS Club headquarters building to discuss the matter with the elder sister Fan Ting, and also summoned the company's royal lawyers to discuss the matter of appearing in court.

"Didn't you say you had a solution?" Fan Ting asked Fan Wuxian.

"The idea is there, it's just immature and. Already, so you need to learn from a professional. Fan Wuxian said with a smile.

Fan Wuxian found that in this case, there are at least a few points that are worth noting, one of which is that the company only unknowingly integrated the module with the logic bomb into the beta version of the software for people to download and try, which seems to have no anti-piracy premise.

The second is the program that loads the logic bomb. The preamble, who is settled overseas, if in terms of criminal suspicion, this is also an overseas crime, what law should be used to investigate it, and what legal authority should be investigated, it seems that it is still debatable, at least the responsibility cannot be imposed on the head of the PCFANS club.

As for the third, although the beta version of the software is loaded with logic. bomb, but there is no trigger condition, which means that the logic bomb can never go off, so there can be no victims.

And Fan Wuxian also thought of the conditions for counterattacking, that is, several competing pairs. Why did the hands quickly grasp this situation without any logic bomb attack in the Thunderbolt Baby software? It can only show that the other party has been cracking and tracking the software of their own company.

And under the protection of copyright law, any . Cracking other software is an infringement of the rights and interests of the original author and should be investigated in accordance with the law.

In fact, the current national . The law on the protection of the software industry is also very imperfect, and the law on Internet communication is a mess, for this emerging industry, the legal profession is basically confused, there is no deep understanding at all, and even most legal practitioners do not realize that there will be more and more Internet-based cases in the future, and there are fewer and fewer legal provisions to adapt to them, and they cannot meet the needs of the actual situation.

Everyone sat together and discussed for a while, and finally came up with a clearer idea, basically the lawyers agreed with Fan Wuxi's several starting points, of course, in the details to do a little modification, this is the means of court debate, it is impossible to pull out all the hole cards at the beginning, but to turn them out one by one at the necessary moment, in order to achieve the effect of catching the other party off guard and speechless, so as to be able to convince people's hearts and make the trial beneficial to themselves.

"Actually, the main reason is that Microsoft's actions have been too big recently, and we have such a thing, which will inevitably make many people feel that PCFANS are also going to follow Microsoft's lead and crack down on piracy." Fan Ting said to Fan Wuxi.

Fan Wuxian rubbed the corners of his forehead to show understanding.

Recently, Microsoft China has been very enthusiastic about anti-piracy, not only to promote the concept of anti-piracy, but more importantly, to meet the needs of performance. It is understood that many users, especially enterprise users, have decided not to buy Microsoft's OFFICE products, or to use other software such as PSOffice instead.

However, some small enterprises said that the company's IT management was not standardized, and many of them were contracted and outsourced, and now it is difficult to figure out which software is legally authorized and which is pirated, so they have to buy all the licenses, just hoping to find a better supplier to discount.

Many companies have also reported that many software dealers are currently cooperating with Microsoft to send faxes or phone calls to companies saying that they have already obtained evidence of piracy on your side, and if they want not to prosecute, how many licenses must be purchased within the time limit, etc.

In this regard, a company CEO complained that this is simply nonsense, basically all the computers in their company are OEM indos, and the office software is developed by themselves, and the servers are running Unix systems, and these software vendors are simply inexplicably blackmailing.

Some people in the industry said that Microsoft is clearly anti-piracy, in fact, it is engaged in promotion, this kind of intimidation marketing has long been adopted, not only Microsoft does this, Autodesk, Adobe and many other foreign software companies in China marketing have adopted such marketing methods to promote, but generally not directly carried out by software companies, most of them are handed over to agents to fraudulently use the name of software companies to carry out.

In this way, when there is a legal or moral hazard, the software vendor can get away with it.

"Our company has also received this kind of similar threat, but I immediately called the police, the other party has been controlled at this time, and is about to sue them, but I don't rub sand in my eyes." Fan Ting said when she mentioned this.

Fan Wuxian nodded, Fan's Investment Group usually pays great attention to this kind of thing, so the company's computers are installed with genuine operating systems, and the office software is authorized or developed by itself, so there is really no need to be threatened by others, of course, the main reason for this is that Fan's Investment Group is rich and does not need to use piracy, although this can save some money, but it is not troublesome enough.

Corporate users naturally don't need to worry about these funds like individual users, not to mention that a large enterprise like Fan's Investment Group naturally doesn't need to save money in this regard.

"Actually, I now think that the production of antivirus software is a very troublesome thing, the input and output are completely disproportionate, and I have to face a large number of pirated users, which is really more than worth the loss, if so much investment is used in other aspects, or more cost-effective, similar things will not happen again." Fan Ting suddenly said to Fan Wuxi.

"You don't want your brother-in-law to work too hard, do you?" Fan replied with a smile.

"you, you'll be the one you know best." Fan Ting stretched out her hand and patted Fan Wuxian, then scratched her hair and said, "But what you said is also very reasonable." ”

After sending a few lawyers away, Fan Wuxian got some drinks and drank them, while asking the elder sister if there was any major news about Shanghai in China recently?

Fan Ting looked at Fan Wuxian suspiciously, and then replied, "Haven't you heard?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Fan Wuxian nodded, knowing in his heart.

Although he ran to Australia to avoid the limelight because he provoked the officialdom infighting in Shanghai, it was not surprising that the situation was calm at this time, after all, it is impossible to do things at this level with great fanfare, even if you get real evidence, you must investigate and collect evidence in secret and deal with it, and the external news will also be low-key, for example, the other party has to leave the job due to physical reasons or something, which is the most commonly used method.

Because of the different national conditions, what Fan Wuxian hopes to see is similar to the lively thing in the United States that allows independent investigators to collect evidence of the president's crimes, which will not happen in our country.

"What I'm most concerned about now is whether or not the antivirus software should continue to do it? There is also the PSoffice software series, the investment is also very large, but the output is only several times, in the face of overwhelming pirated software, I am depressed to death. Fan Ting said.

Fan Wuxian poured a cup of tea for the old lady, and then replied slowly, "My considerations are different from yours, and I can't only see the immediate benefits when doing things, just because of PSoffice, so Microsoft's OFFICE software is not unique in China, after having competitors, even if they are relying on piracy to compete for the market, they must also consider whether it is suitable for Chinese people. ”

"You mean that we can also follow Microsoft's lead and trade piracy for the market?" Fan Ting asked.

"Hehe, it's pretty much it." Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "Since they can do it, then we can also do it, so piracy will be pirated, we are also cultivating market habits, just like the upcoming QQ software, they all rely on cultivating market habits to survive, once the time is right, it will be the era of our harvest." ”

In Fan Wuxie's eyes, the profits of antivirus software are still very rich, and the threat of viruses at this time is not very large, but with the rapid development of the Internet, we do not use a set of genuine antivirus software, so that there is no effective protection, once it reaches that period, it is obviously the kind of antivirus software with the largest market share of piracy, and the return is also the most lucrative, which is similar to Microsoft's piracy marketing methods.

There are no pop-ups
