He didn't expect that other music record companies would take the initiative to invite themselves to sue Da Qian, which is a good thing for him.
After knowing about it, the original people of rolling stone records found that someone in wanwan directly downloaded the MP3 files of pirated rolling stone music online, then copied them into MP3, and then you can directly hear the music of rolling stone records. They didn't spend a penny from beginning to end, and even didn't go out of the house. They just clicked the mouse at the computer.
This made rolling stone record aware of the crisis for the first time.
It should be said that people in wanwan are well-known for their vigilance. When ordinary enterprises see such a situation, it is probably over.
But rolling stone records are different. They seem to have seen that in the future, Internet users all over the world can download pirated music files through computers. Will the whole market of rolling stone products collapse?
So rolling stone records began to plan ahead. They called the police at the first time, but the Bay police ignored this kind of thing. At most, they just caught it and shut it up for a few days.
However, it's useless. After all, rolling stone records can't stare at everyone and whether all the songs in MP3 are genuine. If we start from the client, it's really impossible to do it in a lifetime.
Then rolling stone records thought, you sue every user, but can't I sue the enterprise that makes MP3?
It is this damn enterprise that makes MP3 that leads to the whole piracy and damages their profits. They can ask the enterprise to stop producing this thing and compensate their own economic losses.
Especially when rolling stone records learned that this enterprise was actually from a mainland enterprise that had always been poor and backward and could not even be counted as poor relatives, an inexplicable sour feeling came out.
However, rolling stone records also knows that the volume of Daqian is too large. It is very difficult for a small company like itself to win the lawsuit. The only way is to combine other forces.
So rolling stone records began to collect all kinds of evidence overnight. At the same time, it persuaded universal records, Sony Music and other large music companies all over the world to issue a joint lawsuit. Finally, a total of 5 large music groups and 23 small and medium-sized music companies jointly established a huge 28 group and launched a joint lawsuit against Daqian electronics.
When these music companies were united, the American record industry association took the initiative to come to the door and proposed that they should take the lead in the prosecution.
The reason is very simple, because the American record industry association is also keenly aware that their doomsday may be coming.
Although the era of records has passed, few people will buy such things as vinyl records except senior music lovers. There are only three enterprises that can still produce records in the world.
However, the American record industry association is actually selling dog meat, or in their words, it is a broader record, so what tapes and CDs are also included in the category of records. Now the American record industry association is actually an association composed of major tape and CD manufacturers all over the world.
Some readers may be surprised that when tapes were eliminated and CDs were eliminated, why didn't the American industrial Recording Association Sue?
The reason is very simple, because whether it is a record, tape or CD, music needs to stay on a carrier, so the original record production enterprises can still carry out their old business by changing their equipment.
But MP3 is different. MP3 doesn't need any music carrier. Just connect to the computer and click a little, you can hear all the music in the world.
For record companies, the birth of MP3 is not to replace their equipment, but to dig their roots. How can you let the American record industry association accept this situation!
As a result, a huge plaintiff group led by the American industrial record association and combined with 28 music production companies around the world was finally formed. It initiated a lawsuit in the California appeal court of the United States, accusing Daqian of infringing the copyright of music, requiring Daqian to pay a huge compensation of US $1.28 billion and permanently stop the production of MP3.
Because of this huge prosecution group and the global hot sales of thousands of MP3 players, once the prosecution news was reported, it immediately caused a huge wave.
Almost all the media in the world began to report this case crazily. Some media even used the first infringement case in the 1990s to describe this case.
Even the Chinese domestic media reported this case in the form of thousands of columns and reports almost every day, but when boss Jia was a little cold, many domestic media accused Daqian. They accused Daqian of being a hotbed of piracy and an accomplice of pirates. Finally, they accused Daqian of losing the face of Chinese people.
This makes boss Jia's nose crooked. Originally, this huge plaintiff hasn't made boss Jia angry, but these domestic media really make boss Jia sick.
There is nothing to say about such people. We must prove who is justice with a hearty victory.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Daqian electronics, and they wanted to know how the company that had just changed the music industry would face a huge counterattack from almost the whole industry.
——————————
Daqian's response is very simple, that is to file a lawsuit.
On the second day after the joint prosecution was issued by the large prosecution group, the Pearl East has the final say that the product is free from any problems. The giant itself has not infringed on any enterprise or individual's rights. There are no mistakes in the big business, no compensation for anyone else, and the MP3 will not stop selling, and everything is legally decided. Not someone's mouth.
Daqian faced the challenge head-on. Then, according to some sources, Daqian's chairman, boss Jia, just returned from France and immediately flew to the United States to deal with this trial.
You know, this court trial is of great significance to Daqian. If the plaintiff wins, it means that Daqian will not only pay huge compensation, but also completely give up the emerging huge market of MP3. For Daqian's loss, it is at the level of billions of dollars. How can boss Jia pay attention to it, That's a matter of course.
These news and speculation spread wildly in this kind of media, giving all the audience a very intuitive impression. If the lawsuit is lost this time, MP3 will become a flash in the pan and will not be sold in the market.
So the thousands of MP3 players that are still scolding will become unique. If they miss a moment, they will miss things for a lifetime?
Thinking of this, many people who are not in a hurry to buy MP3 and intend to sell it after the price reduction can't sit still.
As a result, on the third day after the prosecution, Daqian MP3 was fully opened for spot sales for the seventh time, and a total of 5 million units were robbed in three days.
In the following three months, the 8th and 9th times, until the 15th and 15th times, the total number of thousands of MP3 players on sale reached about 42 million. There was none left. All of them were sold out, which made Sony and other enterprises look silly.
You know, the Walkman they swept the world in those years also sold more than 100 million units in the world for five years. As a result, the sales of thousands of MP3 players exceeded 40 million units in three months. Who should they talk to for such crazy sales results?
