Here, the preparations for the romance of the three kingdoms are in progress, while on the other hand, boss Jia's lawsuit has officially opened.
In the Florida court, the trial of the American industrial Record Association against Daqian Group officially began.
Because the prosecution attracted enough attention before, which made most of the American media focus on the court. However, before the trial, most smart media had guessed that Daqian would win.
The first is the plaintiff group. Up to now, only the American Industrial Products Association and rolling stone records are still biting their teeth to sue.
As a result, the strength of the prosecution is reduced by about 23, which is difficult to compete with the current high tide.
The most crucial point is to look at the lawyer groups put forward by both sides.
There are five lawyers in the lawyer's letter of the American record industry association, which looks quite a lot. One of them is a famous lawyer in the country, which seems very good.
But on the other hand, when Daqian's lawyer group appeared, it was completely incomparable. The number of Daqian's lawyer group was as high as 32, and each lawyer's reputation did not fall behind the famous lawyer across the country.
Behind these 32 lawyers are 24 famous law firms in the United States. Among the top 30 law firms in the country, these 24 occupy 20, and the top 10 law firms are among them.
"Even if the plaintiff is the commander-in-chief of the United States, the case will be defeated!" many reporters lamented.
As for the plot of a lawyer defeating 32 industry winners, it only exists in TV dramas and novels. In reality, it does not exist unless the criminal commits a crime on live TV.
When the trial begins and the lawyers of both sides give evidence and debate, the situation becomes more obvious.
The first is the plaintiff's proof. Although it can be seen that the plaintiff's lawyer has made great efforts to collect evidence, he has fully taken out the fact that more than 230 thousands of MP3 users have downloaded pirated songs to prove the guilt of thousands of MP3 players.
As a result, thousands of lawyers backhanded out more than 3000 cases of users listening to music in the era of piracy or CD, and then asked the American industrial Record Association whether they were responsible for these piracy incidents.
Like Daqian, are they all producers of these pirated carriers.
And the producers of pirated records or tapes are members of genuine industrial associations!
With such a rhetorical question, the industrial record association was forced to be speechless.
Next, Daqian's lawyer took out a lot of responses made by Daqian MP3 in anti piracy. First, the instructions for the outer packaging of all boxes say that it is forbidden to use and download pirated songs.
Then, the MP3's own driver also has built-in official genuine download channels. At the same time, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to directly drag pirated songs into MP3.
Of course, if someone slightly changes the driver file, it will break this restriction, but this is done by hackers. It has nothing to do with Daqian. Daqian is really in the anti-theft version!
Anyway, Daqian really has an intention to work hard on the anti-theft version, but some things can't be prevented at all, and Daqian can't help it.
A few days later, the court ruled in court that the American industrial Record Association lost the lawsuit, and all their demands were rejected. Daqian group and Daqian MP3 are innocent and can be sold normally in the market.
Once the judgment was announced, more than 5 million MP3 players were sold worldwide in the next week.
No way, because of this case and the vigorous publicity of the media, almost all TV viewers all over the world know about this big case and MP3, a black technology product.
And the price is not expensive. The cheapest one is only $99. It's too conscientious to buy!
In fact, after a multimedia replay, if there was no such a lawsuit as publicity, the sales volume of Daqian MP3 might be less than 13 of the current 60 million sales volume. This case did not harm Daqian MP3 at all, but helped Daqian MP3 greatly. It was a divine help!
In fact, the same is true in history.
In 1999, when MP3 was first introduced to the market, in fact, the sales volume was not very good. In half a year, it only sold less than 3 million units.
However, with the prosecution of the American industrial record association and the crazy reports of the media, after the court judgment, the sales volume of MP3 has crazy increased to about 40 million units, more than 10 times, which is even more exaggerated than the thousands in the world.
However, the good days of Daqian MP3 are almost over, because the technical content of MP3 is not too high. Many companies have technical reserves, but they didn't expect to do such a thing.
Therefore, after only four months of MP3 sales, at least more than 30 enterprises in the world announced that their MP3 would be put on the market at the same time.
Throughout 1998, thousands of MP3 brands appeared all over the world. Many MP3 players have all kinds of magical functions. The market of Daqian MP3 was seriously occupied, and Sony MP3 finally succeeded in surpassing the market share of Daqian MP3.
This makes people have to sigh that Sony has amazing technical strength in music electronic products.
However, at the end of the trial, Daqian joined hands with famous music companies all over the world and announced that the network platform of light and shadow supermarket was officially launched on the whole network. Players can directly buy genuine MP3 songs for download through the network, while Daqian only charges about 50-30% of the platform fee.
Later, almost all MP3 players, as long as they are produced by formal enterprises, must pre install the link of this website, otherwise the light and shadow supermarket will directly sue each other for supporting piracy.
With the help of a large legal team, many MP3 enterprises who do not believe in evil and want to build their own genuine platform are found guilty. There are tens of millions of dollars in compensation, so that later, except for the MP3 of three no enterprises, no normal MP3 enterprise will not pre install the light and shadow platform.
On the other hand, Daqian did not suffer, because for an MP3, the biggest cost is actually the internal storage chip, while Daqian's TF card directly occupied the whole MP3 storage device market because of its strong storage capacity and the price of other storage devices.
No matter which MP3 company, even Sony, finally had to buy thousands of TF cards as MP3 storage devices.
Because for Sony, the cost of manufacturing a 100MB memory card can buy two 100MB Daqian TF cards. The absolute price gap is there, so that any enterprise can only buy Daqian TF cards.
In fact, not only the MP3 market, thousands of TF cards will occupy almost all the secondary storage device markets in the world.
The so-called secondary market is the market except for memory modules, which require extremely high reading speed of storage devices.
In more than a year after the TF card was sold, 98% of the world's secondary storage equipment manufacturers either went bankrupt directly or announced to give up the storage business. Daqian completely swallowed up the whole industry like a monster, and other enterprises could not compete with Daqian at all.
Even the world's top memory device manufacturers are worried because they heard that the second generation TF card will not be launched. The storage speed of this TF is almost close to the reading speed of the memory module.
Daqian wants to directly produce Dr card, which is a card that has never been heard of, but it is said that the reading speed of this card exceeds the reading speed of all storage devices that can be industrialized and mass produced in the world.
This is terrible. These storage equipment manufacturers have seen a terrible whale swallowing the market, but they can't do anything about it.
These manufacturers have no idea how Huaxia, which was still provided with raw materials and located at the bottom of the whole industrial chain a few years ago, mastered the world's most advanced memory chip technology in just a few years?
Moreover, they don't understand this kind of chip at all. Many enterprises have disassembled these chips and studied them repeatedly, but they can't figure out why. They just feel that it may be related to some kind of material, but they don't know what this kind of material is.
