Chapter XVII Copyright Issues
After having a rehearsal venue, their rehearsal progress suddenly accelerated a lot, and sometimes Zhang Xiao would come on purpose, she basically had no say in music, but she deliberately went online to study the cooperation of the group, and some stage performance styles, and put forward several suggestions, which were also readily accepted by them.
The only bad thing is that there are too many students who come to the scene every day to watch, and most of them were attracted by Yang Yi's handsome appearance at first, but they were soon attracted by Ye Zifei's unique singing voice, and the song "The Story of Time" is really well written, that kind of faint sorrow, bright music style, campus rock style, catchy, in line with the feelings of teenagers in this period, this song quickly spread on campus.
The students in the class spontaneously organized themselves to maintain order at the scene, and at the same time strictly monitored those students who recorded with mobile phones, in the name of "protecting class level secrets." β
Even though they are strictly guarded, there are still some recorded clips of songs that have been posted on the Internet, most of them are just recordings, there are no images, and the surrounding recording environment is noisy, so the impact is not great, and most of them are just circulated in some students and circle of friends.
However, it was still noticed by some attentive professionals, but the law of this era is very particular about copyright, and any piracy without the consent of the parties will be severely punished, so some music companies began to pursue the source of these clips, hoping to buy the copyright of the song as soon as possible.
After this period of cooperation, the three of them became more and more tacit, sometimes they knew the meaning of each other's conveyance with a glance, they poured all their enthusiasm into music, and sometimes they didn't even attend class, and ran to rehearse.
Zhang Xiao received several complaints from the teacher, Zhang Xiao smiled and covered with them, and took out their grades to talk about things, "Look, have their grades been steadily improving, for the sake of the school celebration, for the honor of the class, their behavior can be accommodating first......"
Those teachers are all fine, I don't know what she means, I smiled helplessly and shook my head: "These three people are also improving Ye Zifei's grades, and the other two are not all copying her, I really think I can hide it from our eyes, especially this Zhang Weidong, I can copy it wrongly, copy all Ye Zifei's drafts into it, tsk......"
Zhang Xiao pretended to be stupid and cute with all kinds of smirks, and in the end, these things had to be stopped.
After going back, Zhang Xiao severely criticized Zhang Weidong, and then privately taught a few effective cheating methods......
On this day, the three of them skipped class again and went to rehearsal, but when they arrived at the small hall, they found that it had been occupied by several senior high school boys.
The three of them looked at each other, didn't they say okay, let's use it here? Looking at them, it seems that they are also preparing for the band's performance, and the drum kit that Zhang Weidong put here was thrown aside by them at will.
Yang Yi said angrily: "Why do you occupy our rehearsal room? β
Several boys had already seen them coming, and deliberately pretended to be blind, and at this time, their lead singer pretended to look like he had just seen them, and said, "Oh, Zhang Weidong! The dean said that this place will be used by us in the future, you guys pack up your things, get out! β
The pimples on Zhang Weidong's face turned red, but this time, he was impulsive, and he actually smiled and flattered: "Brother Tao, this is not appropriate, right?" We've always practiced here. β
Their lead singer, that is, Brother Tao in Zhang Weidong's mouth, laughed exaggeratedly, waved his hands, looked at his companions beside him, and said, "Ha! They really think that the school is their home, let you go, what do you want, if you want to be the boss in the school, then wait until I graduate, Zhang Weidong, you can't do it, get out! β
Several boys looked at them with a smile and put down the instrument in their hands, as if they were going to do it at any time.
Yang Yi angrily wanted to rush up to reason with them, but was pulled by Zhang Weidong, and said in his ear: "Don't mess with them, his uncle is the school's teaching director, we can't afford to mess with them, forget it, let's find another place......"
Jun Yi stood aside with an indifferent look, his hands in his pockets, the eyes that were not big narrowed even more, and there was a cold light inside, looking coldly at the few students on the stage, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and said, "Let's go, let them ...... here."
Yang Yi looked at his companion in surprise, he had never suffered such a loss since he was a child, his originally handsome face began to deform, he held back his anger, bit his lower lip, and then cleaned up Zhang Weidong's drum kit.
A few boys burst into laughter and pointed at them, Brother Tao looked at them with a proud face, clapped his hands, and said to the people around him: "Okay, the pesky fly is finally gone, let's continue rehearsals." β
Ye Zifei and the three of them packed up their things, and as soon as they walked to the door, they heard the sound of familiar music, which was the "Story of Time" they composed, and the three of them stopped at once, turned around and looked at the stage.
As mentioned earlier, the protection of copyright in this era is very strict, but there are accidents in everything, and these bear children are used to being the king at school, so they don't care about these, thinking that if they change the lyrics and change some details, this song will become their own work.
Of course, this song has not been registered, so it is not protected by the law, and even if they sing it, they cannot be held responsible, and people on both sides are very ignorant about these things.
Zhang Weidong couldn't tolerate it anymore, he put down the instrument in his hand and decided to defend his works with a boxer.
Jun Yi grabbed the two, shook his head at them, walked over calmly, and yelled, "Do you want to die? β
is worthy of being the lead singer of the Lostsmile group, and the voice is extremely penetrating, completely suppressing the sound of the instruments above.
Brother Tao and his friends stopped playing, looked at them triumphantly, and said, "What did you say?" I can't hear ......"
"According to the Copyright Law of the Celestial Empire, anyone who arbitrarily adapts a work without the consent of the copyright owner will be sentenced to one to five years in prison, and a fine according to the size of the plot, if you are not afraid of death, just take our song away, and then wait to go to jail!"
Jun Yi is making up nonsense again.
When she said this, several boys on the stage were a little pale with fright, and Brother Tao quibbled: "Who said that this is your work, obviously we came up with it ourselves, I can sue you for slander." β
"Yes, I also know the crime of defamation, I have time to read the law of writing, it is written in detail, your behavior has violated our rights, we can sue you for infringement at any time, don't think that your uncle is the director of teaching can act arbitrarily, once he violates the law, he will also be unlucky."
Brother Tao swallowed his saliva, a little regretful that he shouldn't have provoked them today, he bared his teeth and said: "That's it, how much money do you need to give us this song, for the sake of your classmates, five thousand yuan to buy your song." β
In his opinion, 5,000 yuan is a lot, and many composers' works are not sold at this price now.
Jun Yi tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and gestured a middle finger at them, saying, "You go eat!" 5,000 dollars for you to use in prison...... How? Want to get a hands on a woman? Come on, let's go together, and don't say I'm bullying you. β
Brother Tao angrily kicked the drum kit next to him, it was too hard, and there was a sharp pain in his toes, he endured the pain, and said in a muffled voice: "Let's go......"
ββThe Celestial Empire does not have such strict protection of copyright, but this is a different time and space, and the law is more perfect, which also lays the groundwork for the protagonist's work not to be plagiarized in the future...... I'm so wise!
