Chapter 88 Cracking down on piracy is everyone's responsibility

Chen Dingtian has already begun to think about how he should live after copying books to make money in the future, but this money has not arrived after all, so Chen Dingtian has not really started to live a happy and luxurious life. The www.biquge.info money is still in the Truman family in Europe, but now the Truman family is obviously unhappy, really unhappy.

"Bastard, there are actually people who pretend to be our products on the market in large numbers, what a bastard!" Britain's Truman scolded.

Truman in Europe received the news and soon learned that a large number of people across Britain had begun to imitate things like the so-called Harry Potter magic robes for profit. You must know that the copyright of this Harry Potter is in the hands of the Truman Company, this Harry Potter is a company established by Chen Dingtian, and the members of the Truman family occupy 15% of the shares in it, so can they not be blushing?

These pirated guys obviously saw that the Harry Potter Hive was very powerful this time, and wanted to follow it to make a profit. However, this seriously damaged the interests of the Truman family.

This is actually piracy, and the Harry Potter culture created by the Harry Potter company took the opportunity to make a profit from it. This kind of behavior is actually very bad, and this is actually piracy.

Originally, the genuine copies produced by Harry Potter were much more expensive than the pirated ones, but those pirated copies were completely pen Harry Potter Company originals and were much cheaper, so of course they would be annoyed. Cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, so Truman was completely angry.

"Fortunately, Mr. Chen Dingtian has been prepared for a long time, and hurry up to contact those scheduled lawyers, we want to sue, sue! This time, we won't sue them until they lose money, and we won't come out to do business. Invite all of our lawyers! ”

Chen Dingtian had already guessed that there might be piracy, because Chen Dingtian knew that this regulation on copyright protection had only been formulated in Europe for a few years, so the relevant regulations had not much content at all, and even very imperfect. Don't expect those European businessmen not to take advantage of loopholes, although Europeans pay attention to the so-called "contract spirit", and the essence of this contract spirit is actually a contract as long as it is a contract must be observed, and the loopholes on the contract can also be drilled.

The spirit of the contract is actually a spirit of exploiting loopholes, because no contract can be absolutely free of loopholes, once you find a loophole, then drill hard, so that no one will say that you have no morality.

Chen Dingtian has long realized that it is impossible for too many people to have this genuine consciousness when copyright protection is just stipulated in Europe, and it has not been a few years since it came out, how can there be a genuine consciousness. There is also a long-term process of genuine in Europe, and it is not a genuine consciousness that exists out of thin air, but after more than 100 years of training.

Therefore, Chen Dingtian had long predicted that there would definitely be piracy in this Europe, and Chen Dingtian, who was engaged in the cultural industry back then, thought that he still understood this industry, so he had been prepared for a long time.

After the establishment of the Harry Potter company, before the plan began, it had been contacted and booked with a large team of lawyers, and then it was in order to sue those pirates as soon as possible when there was piracy.

As a result, it is now used.

The pirates were soon summoned by the courts to go to various parts of the UK to respond to the lawsuits. This time, Harry Potter has invested a lot of money, and it will definitely not be stingy in order to combat piracy. In particular, this piracy has seriously damaged their interests, and they must make an example of what it will do to combat piracy.

If you don't shake those pirates, those pirates will definitely become more and more rampant in the future, which will not be good for Chen Dingtian and Harry Potter.

"Mr. Truman, we've now started suing these companies, so what do we do next? I'm afraid we will spend a lot of money on this large-scale lawsuit! ”

Britain's Truman said: "My cousin has sent a message, and Mr. Chen said that this time, no matter how much it costs, he will go to court, and he must definitely make a posture of doing anything to fight piracy, so that they are all afraid." Do you know how big the stakes are? In the past six months, he has earned tens of thousands of pounds. If in the next few decades, if Mr. Chen lived longer, he would be able to eat fat meat for more than 100 years. If we let piracy run rampant with these books, we have a lot to lose. ”

"We must fight piracy, otherwise we will lose a huge amount!"

The Harry Potter Company has long been preparing various budget funds to combat piracy, and has even been in contact with local lawyer groups for a long time, so this time hundreds of large and small pirates have been sued in court, which completely shocked the entire United Kingdom.

"Crazy, this Harry Potter company is really crazy, taking hundreds of companies to court at once, he's crazy, isn't he?"

"This Harry Potter company is really doing whatever it takes, this is the number one piracy case!"

"Since countries signed agreements to protect copyright a few years ago, there has never been such a big case!"

"What do you know? This time, the Truman Company made a lot of money, not only all kinds of Harry Potter fans formed clubs, but even all kinds of products in the name of Harry Potter were sold on a large scale, and some ordinary 'rags' were sold at the price of silk, isn't this profitable? ”

"No wonder it's so desperate, if it's really fifty years after the author's death, it's really a lot of money. And I heard that the Chinese Chen is only in his twenties at present, and he has no disease or disaster. Then maybe it can be a hundred years of windfall profits, who doesn't see it? ”

"It was sent, it was sent, why didn't we think of making so much money at the time?"

Many British writers have also begun to discuss that their past profit model is actually to sell books, and get manuscript fees or royalties by selling books, so that they can get corresponding profits.

But now they've found another way, and that's by giving away for free and then creating a cultural wave so that they can make money by selling merchandise.

This is actually a kind of progress, from selling books purely for profit in the past, this time it actually began to take peripheral products. Even these merchandise products are much more profitable than those selling books. For a peripheral product, it is directly five or six times less, more than ten times or hundreds of times the profit margin.

In this comparison, those so-called manuscript fees are really nothing. Even if it's royalties, so what? The economic conditions of European countries in this era were also not very good, and many workers were severely exploited, and they often did not have much money to buy books for their children.

The main readership of those writers is the middle class, but the middle class is not large enough compared to the large number of ordinary people.

However, after the formation of a cultural wave through the free gift of books, even ordinary families will choose to buy a set of relatively low-priced "peripheral products". Even if these peripheral products are the cheapest, they are five or six times more profitable, and I am afraid that they are more than those from selling books.

This kind of means is simply profitable, and even if the copyright can be used to sell, then for them writers it is simply a profit increase and many times.

So these writers are also red-eyed, and they also want to make money! Although they can't be the first to eat crabs, it's not impossible to make money with this method.

"Dear writers, we at Truman would like you to speak out against those pirated businessmen. We at Harry Potter would like to unite our writers and friends to promote legislative work. And it is proposed that the profit of this brand image should also be regarded as the property rights of the writer, so that we can fight piracy together! ”

In this era, the regulations on the copyright of works are not very detailed, and many people think that works can be regarded as manuscript fees and royalties, and the other regulations are very vague and there are no detailed regulations.

This time, Harry Potter not only has to take the initiative to crack down on piracy, but also promote British legislation, and through the legislative situation, the income of various peripheral products will be written into law, so as to avoid this kind of thing in the future.

When those writers heard this, they immediately agreed to come together to support Chen Dingtian and Harry Potter Company. In particular, they also have the idea of "rabbits and foxes are sad and sad". This time, Chen Dingtian made a lot of money through this method, although they will be red-eyed, but they also hope that they can make money through this method in the future.

This method makes a lot more money than those other methods, and since such a method makes so much money, those other writers also want to follow suit.

Since we have to learn from the same, piracy is also the biggest enemy. Although they are red-eyed, they also want to be like this in the future, and under the sadness of the dead rabbit and the fox, they will also choose to take the initiative to support Chen Dingtian. This time, as long as Chen Dingtian's copyright is preserved, and Chen Dingtian's corresponding property is preserved this time, this is to protect the hope of future writers to make money.

Because the law adopted by the United Kingdom is the law of the sea, such a legal system uses case law, and if Chen Dingtian's various peripheral products can be retained this time, then once a precedent is formed in the future, it will also be beneficial to other writers.

Therefore, the interests of Chen Dingtian are safeguarded, that is, the interests of everyone and the entire industry are safeguarded.

Although there is an old saying that peers are enemies, if it involves the interests of the entire industry, not only can it not be left to the ground, but it is necessary to protect peers together. You must know that there are no eggs under the nest, and once the whole industry is unlucky, then no one can survive. Chen Dingtian opened up another way to make money this time, and maybe even earn more, so of course they have to find a way to protect Chen Dingtian's interests, because safeguarding Chen Dingtian's interests is also safeguarding the interests of the entire industry.

"We, the Writers' Association, have unanimously agreed, and all the writers of our Writers' Association are willing to rise up and denounce this kind of piracy. This kind of borrowing of our writers' books to hype up is really something that our writers' association cannot tolerate. We support Harry Potter in defending its legitimate interests, and we hope that the courts of the British Empire will interpret in detail and specifically what the author's property rights are. In particular, it is necessary to specify the various rights and interests of writers, including those brand rights. ”

"We believe that the copyright of a work is far more than just royalties or manuscript fees, and should include all kinds of ancillary income, otherwise this is a desecration of the fruits of our writers' labor and a great slander against cultural achievements. So I suggest that we must fight this kind of piracy without authorization. ”

The British Writers Guild actually stood with a Chinese this time, which is also the interest of the industry. The interests of the industry sometimes include the whole world, and there is no division of nationality.

If they don't help Chen Dingtian this time, if they don't help Chen Dingtian because he is a foreigner and a Chinese, then if their books become popular one day, there will also be people who won't help themselves. This is a violation of the rules of the entire industry, so the loss will be oneself at that time.

The situation in the fight against piracy was immediately sent from England to the European countries at all costs by various telegrams. Writers from all over Europe have joined forces to denounce those who pirate. This is related to the interests of the entire industry, and it must not be ignored.

In the face of the interests of the entire industry, no one in this industry can be left alone. If anyone is left alone, then it will inevitably be abandoned by the entire industry at that time. Even once the industry collapses as a whole, the consequences are still unimaginable, and everyone will have no money to make.

This time, Chen Dingtian has created a new method of making money, and this method of making money lies in the development of copyrights. The income from the development of copyright is much higher than the royalty of the manuscript fee, so of course they have to work hard to maintain it. In the future, writers from all over the world are counting on this to make money! is counting on making such money, but it is necessary to maintain the copyright of Chen Dingtian, and Chen Dingtian's income cannot be lost like this. Maintaining Chen Dingtian is also safeguarding the entire writer industry.

Therefore, soon in France, Prussia, and various small European countries, various writers began to speak, hoping to help Chen Dingtian seek justice.

"The rights and interests of writers should be protected, otherwise how can we writers protect our interests in the future. This time, I hope that the British government will make a fair verdict, and this is something that every writer is concerned about! -- said the famous French writer Victor Hugo.

Some people even openly shouted a slogan -- everyone is responsible for cracking down on piracy! (To be continued.) )
