Through this lawsuit with the Recording Industry Association of America, the ICQ has become a spiritual symbol and representative of the spirit of rebellion against authority and advocating the spirit of freedom?

Lin Zheng's words made everyone not react for a while: Is this proposition a little too big?

Benier, however, immediately understood what his boss meant, and his eyes lit up again: "The American Recording Industry Association stands for compliance and conservatism, and ICQ stands for freedom and innovation?" ”

Lin Zheng smiled and nodded: "Look, everyone still understands it!" After speaking, he turned his head to look at Benier: "Old Bei, what do you want to say?" ”

Benier really didn't disappoint Lin Zheng, and her eyes were full of surprise: "Perhaps...... Can we countersue the Recording Industry Association of America? ”

Countersue the Recording Industry Association of America? As soon as Benier's words came out, the others exploded: counterclaim? How to counterclaim? On what basis for a counterclaim? The reason?

Nima: I don't understand this at all!

But Benier is Benier, and there is a reason why Lin Zheng appointed him as the CEO of ICQ and not anyone else in the room......

"That's right! It's a counterclaim! Benier has obviously cleared his mind, and his eyes are getting brighter and brighter: "The American Recording Industry Association does not believe that icqMusicPlayer violates the "American Home Recording Act of 1992" on the grounds that 'people may use icqmusicplayer to arbitrarily play and 79 download music in unauthorized mp3 compression format on the Internet, which exacerbates the spread of pirated music on the Internet'. Do you want the court to immediately ban the installation of our audio playback software, icqMusicplayer, on all electronic devices? We can also countersue the Recording Industry Association of America. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info said that they are trying to stop the growth of the digital music market. ”

Countersue the Recording Industry Association of America for stopping the growth of the digital music market?!

The first reaction of the crowd was to be stunned: Does the U.S. government have laws and regulations on digital music?

But then, everyone's eyes lit up: it was because there were no laws and regulations in this area. It gave ICQ the confidence and legal support to fight a lawsuit with the American Recording Industry Association!

Ariston, the group's chief legal officer, had even brighter eyes: "That's right, the old bastards who are about to go into the coffin said by the American Recording Industry Association." It's really stopping the development of digital music! Hahaha...... Rest assured, we will never lose this lawsuit! ”

The group's legal department just didn't have a clear way to stop the accusations of the American Recording Industry Association, but now, Benier's words gave Ariston a clear direction to deal with, and with this direction, Ariston even dared to bet on his own salary for a year, ICQ would definitely not lose this lawsuit, and the most likely outcome would be to reach a mutually compromise settlement with the American Recording Industry Association.

Wait until Ariston explains the reason for this. There was a burst of cheers in the conference room, and everyone didn't have to worry anymore.

……………………

As group executives, everyone can be excited to find a solution to the immediate trouble, but as the company's boss and CEO, Lin Zheng and Benier have to look further, for example, now, when everyone is excitedly telling the group's employees that the American Recording Industry Association's lawsuit against the company will not have any impact on the company, and the company has a perfect response idea. Lin Zheng, Tan Na and Benier are in his conference room, discussing how ICQmusicplayer and digital music should evolve next......

"Lao Bei, MP3 is an infringement of intellectual property rights and copyrights after all, and the U.S. government attaches great importance to the development of the Internet. But after all, we will not sit back and watch this situation develop, and the network cannot be independent of reality, and will eventually be protected and restricted by the law. The lawsuit with the Recording Industry Association of America is a nuisance for ICQ. But it's also an opportunity, and you have to think about it. In the Internet era, how to achieve a win-win situation between digital music and the traditional record industry...... In my opinion, this is probably going to be ICQ's next big business. ”

"I'll think about it." Benier nodded earnestly.

Indeed, although MP3 digital audio is now flooded on the Internet in an uncontrolled way, this is a gross infringement of the rights and interests of creators and singers, and it also violates the laws and regulations of the United States on copyright protection, and even from a moral point of view, it is also disrespectful and immoral to the mental work of creators.

In the early stage of the development of the Internet, in order to promote and stimulate the development of the Internet, the US government can turn a blind eye to this situation, but I believe that soon, the US government will definitely take action, just like the boss said, this is certainly a trouble, but it is also an opportunity, how to grasp this opportunity, the test is the ability of the CEO.

…………………………………………

Thanks to the developed entertainment industry in the United States, the American Recording Industry Association, which represents the American record industry, is undoubtedly one of the most important industry associations in the United States...... At this point, the ICQ entertainment section is unusually dedicated, and it doesn't say anything good about its boss in the report.

Countless media reporters gathered in front of the office building of ICQ Group Headquarters, excitedly waiting to interview ICQ's boss, CEO, CFO, and ordinary staff...... It doesn't matter if it's a cleaner, I want to hear what they think of the lawsuit filed against them by the Recording Industry Association of America, and by the way, with the greatest malice, I want to know if ICQ is scared by the lawsuit filed by the Recording Industry Association of America, which is a big scare person.

But what everyone didn't expect was that they ushered in not ICQ's boss Lin Zheng, not CEO Benier, not anyone they wanted to interview, but Ariston, the head of the legal department of ICQ Group and ICQ's chief legal officer.

Facing the microphone that reporters were eager to put into his mouth, Ariston made it clear to ICQ's attitude: "ICQ understands the mood of the Recording Industry Association of America, but we firmly believe that the Recording Industry Association's accusations against ICQ are baseless, and ICQ will not only actively respond to the lawsuit, but will also file a countersuit, because ICQ believes that the Recording Industry Association's actions hinder the development of the digital music market." ”

Ariston's words made the reporters at the scene feel that they were not good: shouldn't the painting style be like this? ICQ was scared and trembling by the Recording Industry Association of America, how could they dare to file a countersuit?

It's a pity that Ariston didn't give reporters the opportunity to interview him at all, and after expressing his attitude, the guy didn't accept any of the reporters' questions, and turned around and went back to the company...... It was only at this time that the reporters on the scene could be regarded as having a retrospective: the feelings just Ariston's remarks were ICQ's press conference?

Nima! How can this work?

I still have a lot of questions to ask, but what do you think about the impact of the Recording Industry Association's lawsuit against you on ICQ's stock price?

With such a big scandal erupting at the time of ICQ's imminent listing, do you think this portends anything?

Will ICQ's share price take a heavy hit as a result of the lawsuit with the Recording Industry Association of America......

Lao Tzu still has so many questions to ask, but you should come back to Lao Tzu, come back to Lao Tzu!

It's a pity that not only Lin Zheng, but also anyone from ICQ did not mean to satisfy the minds of these reporters.

…………………………

ICQ's tough stance caused an immediate uproar.

What the? Not only does she not think she is at fault, but she also wants to countersue the Recording Industry Association of America?

As soon as ICQ's response came out, countless people began to wonder if there was something wrong with their eyes: the painting style is wrong, things shouldn't be like this......

Watching the lively media is still just doubting their own eyes, William. Fisher, on the other hand, had already begun to caress his chest and began to look for a quick-acting heart pill, and he was firmly annoyed by ICQ's outrageous words: Bastard! How dare you? How dare you do such a shameless thing?

But in the same way, there are also many people who are friendly with the way ICQ responds, Americans have never lacked people who resist authority, especially among teenagers, rebellion and rebellion against authority are simply synonymous with their group, but this group is also one of the main users of ICQ, ICQ's response method came out, immediately won the cheers and support of this group, for a while, people who support ICQ on the Internet and people who abuse ICQ are on a par.

But more people are watching from the sidelines.

After a careful analysis of this matter, everyone understands that the American Recording Industry Association's prosecution of ICQ will definitely have a great impact on ICQ, especially at the sensitive moment when ICQ is about to go public, and the performance of ICQ after listing even directly determines ICQ's attitude.

Countless people are staring at each other, waiting to see how ICQ stock reacts.

As a result, the reaction of ICQ stock blinded countless people's eyes: on the day of listing, ICQ's stock opened at $32.75 per share, the highest stock price was as high as $41.79, and the final closing price was $38.83, and the stock price soared by $6.08 per share, an increase of 18.55%, creating the largest price surge in new stock listings in the past 10 years!
