In New Zealand, the Intellectual Property Protection Act, The-Copyright-Act-1994, gives intellectual property owners rights in relation to their works, including how they may be licensed to use, reproduce, redistribute or communicate to the public.
In addition, if the rights and interests of the owner of intellectual property rights are infringed or infringed, the owner may file a lawsuit against the infringing party in accordance with this law and claim his legitimate rights and interests in the intellectual property court.
Robert and Anthony know this, and every native New Zealander knows it, and they're taught to respect knowledge and intellectual property when they're in school, but that doesn't stop them from using it to make money.
The Asian Music Piracy Factory has been in existence for almost ten years, and it is not known how many pirated music has been distributed in New Zealand through Robert's hands, but their factory has been standing in the pasture and has not been seized for a long time.
The reason why this can be done is generally believed to be that Robert is low-key and profits are evenly distributed, but Robert and Anthony know that it is not, and the most important reason is that no one is going to pursue it.
When New Zealanders hear this unfamiliar English music, they don't know where it comes from, they just think it's the street singer's own creation. The Chinese immigrants know it, but they are immigrants and don't want to confront the local forces, and it has nothing to do with them.
After sending the two large boxes of records to the car to the city again, Anthony went to find Robert and said with some uneasiness: "Old man, those two bastards Buzz and Williams have left town, will they go to Sunset Town?" ”
Robert's face was gloomy and he said, "I believe they don't have the courage to join a foreign Chinese?" Ha, if they choose so, all I can say is that they are stupid! ”
Anthony looked at him and said, "You know what I mean, man, I'm worried that they will tell the Chinese about our production line, you know where our music rights belong to, and he has a reason to deal with us." ”
Robert waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Kyle, Kyle, Kyle!" When did you become so sissy? Worried about this, worried about that, why not worry about the end of the world? ”
Seeing that Anthony was not convinced, he continued: "Listen, first of all, I don't believe that Bass and Williams dare to do this, they are stupid enough to defect to the Chinese, if they still expect that Chinese to confront us?" That's stupid and incorrigible! ”
"Second, what if the Chinese know that we have this production line? Believe me, the Chinese are all bleating sheep, they are as well-behaved as five or six-year-old girls, do you know who buys our records the most every time? It's Chinese immigrants! ”
"Even if they go to the Chinese, the Chinese want to do it with us, then let them do it, he is not the holder of these copyrights, the copyright of these music is messy, no one will pursue it at all." If someone does come to investigate, then we have a better attitude, and let it be reconciled in this matter? ”
Despite the importance of copyright protection, in New Zealand, copyright disputes do not need to go to court in most cases.
More often than not, New Zealand government agencies, companies, groups and individuals can contact the infringer in the event of infringement of their intellectual property rights, inform them of the infringement, and resolve the issue through negotiation through friendly communication.
Only when the infringing party shows indifference, indifference or deliberate ignorance will the negotiation settlement become an act of recourse to law.
Anthony hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay old man, you're right, you're always on the right side." But I would say that five or six-year-old girls are not well-behaved, they are very naughty. ”
As they spoke, the two laughed together, apparently thinking it was a nice quip.
But it wasn't long before they couldn't laugh, and through the large windows of the mayor's office, they saw the Ford van that had been responsible for delivering pirated music CDs back into town, along with a police car.
Wang Bo sat in the co-pilot of his off-road vehicle, Uncle Bing drove solemnly into Tahiti Town and approached the government office building, he jumped out of the car and looked at the second floor, and saw the angry Robert and Anthony through the floor-to-ceiling window.
Glancing at the two of them, Lao Wang smiled, then waved warmly upstairs and said, "Mayor Robert, Sheriff Anthony, come down quickly, I have something to inform you." ”
A bad feeling appeared in the hearts of the two, and they quickly rushed down, and Robert shouted sharply: "Chinese, what are you doing in my town?" ”
Wang Bo signaled him not to be in a hurry, and said, "Mayor Town, there is a good thing I want you to participate, why don't you follow me to the car to take a look?" I bet you'll thank me when the time comes, because you're going to make a meritorious service! ”
Anthony looked at the Ford van with a blue face, he wanted to reprimand the driver inside, but found that the driver had changed, a handsome young man with a strong temperament was driving, the two looked at each other, and he found that the other party's gaze was very cold.
"Where's the driver of this car?" Anthony asked anxiously.
Wang Bo pointed to the transport lane: "You said this car?" Oh, and the driver was impounded, and he was suspected of engaging in illegal transportation for a long time and many times. But this has nothing to do with us, come with me buddy, and I'll take you to meritorious service. ”
Robert grabbed him angrily and yelled, "What are you doing, Chinese, don't mess around in my territory!" What merit are you taking me to make? ”
Wang Bo said with a smile: "You may not know, mayor, there is an illegal underground factory in your town, yes, you heard it right, an illegal pirated music factory!" After my joint investigation with Sheriff Laren of Wanderer Town and Sheriff Smith of Aocheng, the location of this factory has finally been determined, and now, I am going to take you to collect the net and give you a great credit! ”
Robert and Anthony both had bad feelings in their hearts, they were shocked and angry, the former winked, and the latter calmed down and said, "What illegal factory?" If there is one, we will know for sure......"
"Yes, but you're blinded, aren't you? You don't know, if you don't believe me, follow me, I'll show you, and you'll know how much you thank me. I have to say man, you're going to be on fire this time. Wang Bo smiled enthusiastically.
Without giving the two a chance to continue asking, he got in the car and motioned to Uncle Bing to drive out, Robert and Anthony hurriedly drove to follow, Anthony pointed to the Ford van behind him and asked, "Damn, mayor, what to do with this car?" ”
Robert said angrily, "What do you care about this damn rotten car? Let's take a look at our production line first! (To be continued.) )
