Chapter 790: Anti-Piracy Alliance

Rakuten will invest 100 million yuan to establish a public welfare anti-piracy alliance!

In fact, as early as the development of VCD, Wu Tian once set up an anti-piracy alliance, mainly aimed at the problem of pirated CDs, at that time had achieved certain results, at least through the anti-piracy alliance, so that the price of domestic genuine works has been reduced a lot, 10 yuan CD suppressed pirated CDs for a period of time - only the works of domestic copyright alliance members, not including overseas audio and video products.

However, with the passage of time, the domestic piracy industry has become more and more prosperous, and it is no longer limited to the southern coastal areas to produce pirated CDs, and the restrictions on this industry have become smaller and smaller, and new film and television companies have no longer joined it, resulting in a resurgence of piracy, and that alliance has long existed in name only.

As a last resort, this time Wu Tian is equal to starting all over again!

The new Anti-Piracy Coalition will be dedicated to combating piracy in the audiovisual and cultural spheres, with a focus on the piracy of CDs, pirated books and online piracy. If any copyright owner finds that his work has been misappropriated, he can ask the Alliance to issue an application, and the Anti-Piracy Alliance will help you sue the other party for free to recover losses.

Of course, the alliance does not mean that it only expects Wu Tian to invest and operate by himself, through the last collapse of the alliance, Wu Tian realized that pure free anti-piracy is difficult to last, and if the qualitative fee is charged, no one wants to join. Therefore, the Anti-Piracy Alliance has been established as a membership-based public welfare organization, which means that you can change your name to an alliance member, and those who become members will be given priority to use the alliance resources to recover losses. Of course, you have to become a member. You have to contribute to the Alliance. It can be a donation of money - for example, as part of the loss that the Alliance will help you recover from it. It can also be in other ways - for example, you can provide information about pirates, or you can advance the process of anti-piracy action, and so on.

In this way, this has become a common cause for everyone, and even if Wu Tian no longer personally commands it in the future, this alliance will continue to operate.

After the news came out, there was another uproar on the Internet for a while!

"This girl was kicked in the head by a donkey, right? To do such a thankless job? ”

"100 million, how many zeros are there?"

"This is the end of the free era, let's wash and sleep......"

"I want to ask. Is my island romance action movie considered piracy? Your alliance won't take me to jail, will you? ”

"I agree with the fight against piracy, but what I want to know is that if foreign works cannot be imported, will they not be able to watch them in the future? If this is the case, I firmly oppose the fight against piracy, which is a closed country! It's the people sinners! ”

In the capital, Xishan Villa, the flame in the fireplace is blazing, and the whole room and living room are warm.

Although there is heating in the villa, Wu Tian prefers the temperature of the flame. Look at the jumping flames, if you take two more pieces of sweet potatoes and bake them. The aroma is wafting, and the feeling is far more comfortable than the dry heating.

"Uncle Cao, this time I have to bother you to go out of the mountain in person, I don't worry about others." Wu Tian said sincerely to an old man in his sixties next to him.

This person is Cao Datong, who is one of the earliest private lawyers in China, and Wu Tian hired him to help Fengyun and the city fight a lawsuit as early as the original issue of Fengyun Electric Fan Factory. Subsequently, Cao Datong became a special lawyer of Fengyun, and Cao Datong's law firm also developed, and now it has become one of the largest private law firms in China.

But now that Mr. Cao is retired, he occasionally gets involved in major corporate cases or is a visiting professor at the university, but the main job of the law firm has been given to the students. Therefore, Wu Tian's plan this time is to prepare to squeeze the surplus value of the old man, so that he can exert his residual heat or something.

Cao Datong nodded happily, he had never refused Wu Tian's request for a genius prodigy, not to mention that this time Wu Tian was going to do a big thing, once he succeeded, it would be enough to make Cao Datong's name famous throughout the country again.

"Xiaotian, I can help you with this, but at my age, my energy is limited, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bear such a heavy burden." Cao Datong said, in fact, this is also the truth, after all, this plan is too big, the difficulty is quite high, Cao Datong is not very sure how much he can achieve, he still has to humble a few words first, so as not to boast about Haikou now, and lose face if he can't do it in the future.

"Uncle Cao, this plan is indeed quite difficult and the workload is quite large, but you don't need to go to the front line in person, just grasp the overall situation, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to achieve good results." Wu Tianhao said sincerely, "This matter is a major event related to the future development of the entire China, and I really don't feel at ease when I hand it over to others." ”

Cao Datong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this matter, I'll take a few students from the office and do our best to do this." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Cao......" Wu Tian shook the old man's hand and thanked him happily - with him joining, this plan is half the success......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************

In early December, the China Anti-Piracy Alliance was officially established in Beijing.

At the press conference for the establishment of the alliance, Cao Datong, chairman of the alliance, talked eloquently. He told a large number of journalists about the importance of the anti-piracy cause. He praised the noble character of the founding members of the alliance and so on.

And with the introduction of Cao Datong. The reporters were shocked to find that the scale of this anti-piracy alliance was much larger than they knew in advance!

First of all, Wu Tian, the recent topic of conversation, will not be mentioned, and Tianzheng Film and Television and TechnoAlpin Film and Television are also expected, these two companies are Wu Tian's partners, and the "Myth" they just finished filming has not yet been released, and it is obviously still in the honeymoon period, so it is not surprising that the two of them will give some face to join in.

In addition, the Ethereal Music Network has also joined in. This is also reasonable, after all, the boss of Tian Lai originally partnered with Wu Tian to open a game company, and it is reasonable to give some face.

But the Heavenly Dao Academy actually joined in, which was a bit strange. Tiandao College has been in the limelight in recent years, and has become one of the leading colleges in the domestic academic circles, almost on the same level as Shuimu University and Jingcheng University, but the difference is only the historical background, and even more in terms of academic research and technological innovation. The joining of the Heavenly Dao Academy was nominally to oppose academic fraud and plagiarism. However, is this incident a follow-up to the problem that a university professor plagiarized an academic paper in an internal journal of Tiandao Academy and published it in a foreign journal not long ago. Then it is unknown.

In addition to these big groups, several famous writers, directors, singers, etc. have all joined in, which makes the press conference feel like a big name.

That's not all, more importantly, the alliance also announced the current operation of the fund, in addition to the 100 million funds invested by Tianle Network, and then those companies also invested a certain amount of money in, including those individuals, all symbolically invested some money, and the final total reached more than 170 million!

In these years, this can already be regarded as a huge amount of money, and it is too extravagant to use it as a fight against piracy!

However, the questions that reporters are most concerned about are some hot topics collected on the Internet, and finally when they wait for the question session, everyone can't wait to start raising their hands to ask questions.

"May I ask Mr. Cao, the Anti-Piracy Alliance is a public welfare, but it says that resources are given priority to members, so what I want to ask is, is it who donates more to the Alliance, who can let the Alliance help sue and fight the lawsuit, and ignore the individuals who have no money?"

A journalist asked.

"Of course not!" "Donations are voluntary, and you don't have to donate to join the Anti-Piracy Alliance. Our initial plan is to give priority to groups and individuals whose works have a wide audience and high influence, and to give priority to anti-piracy actions to deal with cases with wide coverage and the worst impact. After all, the current alliance has just been established and its capacity is still limited, and it will try its best to expand the scale of its operations in the future and try to serve all groups and individuals who have been harmed by piracy......"

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************

"May I ask Mr. Wu Tian, you have spent such a large amount of money to organize the Anti-Piracy Alliance, but have you ever thought that doing so is actually against yourself? After all, your Tianle network can be regarded as the largest piracy group......"

As soon as the reporter's words came out, he immediately drew a burst of chuckles.

Tianle network has been officially launched, due to the excitement on the Internet, it is equivalent to a live advertisement, the number of visits is quite high, and the number of downloads of Tianle on-demand software has easily exceeded one million.

And everyone has to find that the film and television resources of Tianle Network are quite rich, almost all the film and television dramas on the Internet, Tianle has all of them, and there is no doubt that these are all pirated, and there are few of them with formal authorization!

So, everyone doesn't understand, obviously you can use piracy for free, provide pirated videos to netizens, you don't have to spend a penny, but you can get a lot of views, why not do it, but you spend money to fight piracy, isn't this deliberately blocking yourself?

This girl's head is definitely caught in the door!

Therefore, this reporter's question is definitely one of the hottest topics on the Internet at present.

"Hehe, in fact, my IQ is qualified!" Wu Tian said with a smile, which immediately attracted laughter from a group of reporters. When the laughter stopped, Wu Tiancai continued, "However, as lawyer Cao said just now, the problem of piracy has a considerable impact on the entire industry, and I am an IT businessman, well, to put it mildly, I am also a cultural worker, and I also don't want to be stolen everywhere in the works I create." "District 9" has just been released in China, and I bought a pirated disc on the streets of Beijing, or a high-definition DVD! I think how hard this hit the author is, everyone should be able to understand. ”

Another example is Mr. Jia, one of his novels once claimed to be the most printed novel in China, and the total number of copies is estimated to exceed 20 million, but in fact, he has only published less than 2 million! On the bookshelf of his own house, there are more than a dozen different pirated editions......" (to be continued......
