Chapter 1465

"My fellow citizens, the time has come to make a final decision on the events in Iraq. For more than a decade, the United States and other countries have been making patient and outstanding efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime without war... "

"Since then, the world has made diplomatic efforts for 12 years..."

"The danger is already very obvious: with the help of Iraq, terrorists will use chemical, biological or one day nuclear weapons to realize their established ambitions and kill tens of thousands of innocent people in our country and other countries. Although the United States and other countries have done nothing, they have incurred such a threat, but we will take all measures to defeat them. We will build a road to safety instead of sliding into the abyss of tragedy... "

On March 17, 2003, when there was no hope of obtaining the authorization of the United Nations, the George Dynasty decided to bypass the United Nations. Commander George Jr. officially delivered a televised speech, an ultimatum that the other party could never accept.

Then after 48 hours, the rice army will invade Iraq.

"We will provide you with the medicine and food you need, we will completely destroy the terrorist machine, and we will help you build a prosperous and free new Iraq..."

"It is a model for building an important, peaceful and autonomous country in the whole Middle East region. The United States will work with other countries to promote freedom and peace in this region. Our goal cannot be achieved overnight. It takes time. The power of human freedom and the desire for it are embodied in everyone and in every country. The great power of freedom will dissolve hatred and violence and let everyone pursue peace wholeheartedly. That's our choice... "

Little George's speech style is not fancy, firm and sincere, which can especially reassure the American people.

"Shxt! 3dfx shareholders' meeting will be postponed."

However, the raising of the national security alert level brought about by the war will inevitably have a negative impact on large-scale activities with people gathering. Just as the Organizing Committee of the Academy Awards ceremony informed, this year's red carpet link will also be cancelled.

As soon as song Ya finished reading little George's speech, he got two bad news in a row.

No, one, he doesn't care if he can walk on the red carpet.

"So beats music store should be like this: it takes a website supporting mainstream browsers as the platform, the interface is similar to Napster, but it should bypass the Napster website copyright owned by BMG records, but give up the P2P transmission mode, support DRM digital rights management function, dynamic encryption certificate technology with the same level of strength as apple fairplay and Microsoft playready, as well as personal music library management Search, View album and single score in the station... "

Beats music store project has been launched in full swing. Everyone has no time to worry about the trouble of the George Dynasty, let alone the shareholders' meeting of 3dfx. Beats CEO Donna Dubinsky summarized all the needs. "Finally, it is also the most basic. We need to obtain the authorization of the six major music copyright libraries, and the price can not be higher than 99 cents of apple."

Although Apple's iTunes music store does not support windows, which is unanimously regarded as a very good corner overtaking opportunity, Apple's 99 cents per song, which is far lower than the price of physical records, still puts great pressure on everyone.

When jobs announced the pricing at the press conference that day, the response from the audience was also the warmest. It was not too much to comment on it.

"The big six gave apple the price. If they raise the price for us, it is easy to trigger price discrimination terms, so don't worry too much."

The bigwigs had already left, and most of the participants were related to beats music store project. Beats chief legal officer said: "Music copyright library authorization is similar, but more subtle, because if they only authorize iTunes music store, they must be suspected of monopoly, but the record industry can't respond to requests for indiscriminate authorization, and there are many choices to be made. Basically, the six can go their own way and choose freely..."

"The project team has started program development. Fanning and William Zhang will be responsible for their own stall, and the whole software project will be completed in about six months. Aplus, we should try our best to strive for as many record licenses as possible as soon as possible. We must finish the six major projects in six months."

Jeffrey Hawkins said, "although we are in the Walkman business, we are not familiar with the recording industry. Only you..."

"Disney guarantees no problem and can sign at any time."

Song Ya knew his own family affairs, so he could only throw out 100% sure Disney Records to calm the army. "The other five......" looked at the perpetual calendar on his watch and said, "I will go to Los Angeles to attend the Oscar ceremony on the 23rd, and then concentrate on it."

"So... Due to the problem of record market share, the duet alliance of universal music and Sony Columbia Records is not easy to act in concert. They are afraid of anti-monopoly litigation, right?"

On Apple's side, jobs is consulting legal affairs.

"On the premise that it and the other four belong to two camps, yes, for example, the other four have authorized beats music store, while universal music and Sony Columbia Records do not..."

The legal officer replied.

"Aplus people hate dogs in the record industry, don't they?" someone asked.

"Warner records doesn't hate him. EMI and BMG's parent company Bertelsmann are in a bad situation and urgently need to expand revenue channels. The only people who really hate him are universal music and Sony Columbia Records. He has participated in shorting Universal Music's parent company Vivendi universal, and Sony Columbia Records have made murder suspicions..."

Another participant said: "the combination of universal music and Sony Columbia Records has just crossed the monopoly threshold in the field of online music."

"That's what I just said." the lawyer nodded.

"Sony Columbia record is the last line of defense. The parent company of universal music is also in a bad situation. The internal high-level struggle is also a big problem."

"Sony, the parent company of Sony Columbia Records, will not be happy with the MP3 Walkman that is rapidly replacing the CD Walkman. Universal music is better. The Bronfman family and aplus..."

"The influence of the Bronfman family in Vivendi global has been very low!"

Jobs is not a God. He listens to his subordinates like reporting the names of record companies, and his heart becomes more and more impatient. Even if he is himself in Hollywood because of Pixar Animation, the long-term negotiations with the big six have made him clear about the pattern of the record industry, "you can discuss freely and tell me the conclusion."

He got up, put his hands on the desktop and said, "in any case, I don't allow... Beimi will never have a company that can compete with us in all aspects on MP3 Walkman, music store and even smartphone."

"Yes!"

The boss's death order made his men look sad and agree in unison.

"I'll go first."

He returned to the office full of Zen flavor with only wooden floors, floor lamps and necessary office appliances. He sat down cross legged and picked up the media that had been loyal to him for many years: Wired magazine.

"I don't know what Apple thinks. Maybe jobs has his own considerations, but a software provided to Walkman users doesn't support windows?"

But rosetto of Wired magazine didn't say anything good about himself this time, "so they plan to take a deep breath, put in the posture taught by a third spiritual master, and start meditating with their eyes closed to relax their body and mind.

'the trial in Chicago is almost over. '

Songya, who was still in the meeting, received a text message from Sloan. He sued for a crime and left the table briefly. He went to the study to turn on the TV.

"Iraq rejects the ultimatum..."

"The British Prime Minister expressed his firm support for our military action..."

The war is about to start. All TV stations have entered the quasi live broadcast mode. There are such news everywhere. Song Ya keeps changing channels. I can't find any information about the R Kelly case. Yesterday, all stations were still tracking and reporting

As long as there is bigger news, it will only take a short day from national attention to no one's attention.

Poor Alicia, I thought I could show her face, but the limelight was robbed

He felt a little funny. He dropped the remote control and went back to the meeting.

In Chicago, Alicia, who changed her favorite dress, also felt that she thought it would be a good opportunity to greatly enhance her popularity and even become famous all over the country like gasty Clark, the female prosecutor of the Simpson case. R Kelly's case is easier than the Simpson case. She is confident that she will not repeat the mistake of gasty Clark being replaced halfway, Therefore, he did not hesitate to take the power of Cook County state prosecutor to directly get the main prosecutor of the prosecution into his hands.

Today's confrontation also proves this judgment.

Anyway, the trial was over. She stood up and turned to her old colleagues and opponents of the defense, will Gardner and Diane Lockhart.

Will always did that and smiled with aggressive confidence, while Diane nodded friendly.

Among them is R. Kelly, the king of rhythm and blues. He has been released on bail and his records have sold better after being sued.

Most of the audience were black. Jesse Jackson's son, a federal congressman, rushed back from Washington in his busy schedule. He was in the first row directly behind R Kelly. He stretched out his hand and pressed R Kelly's shoulder to express comfort.

"The next hearing time is..." the judge knocked the hammer to announce the next hearing time.

The first trial was just an appetizer and exploratory contact. After the adjournment, the prosecution and the defense acted separately and had no communication except shaking hands. R Kelly was surrounded by members of the huge dream lawyers who spent a lot of money to discuss in a low voice and review the gains and losses.

"Let's go, too."

She couldn't wait to lead the prosecution team out of the court first. The reporters were still waiting. The grand array reminded her of the Barnes case of aplus. The state prosecutor of Cook County kindly prepared a small podium for her "boss" on the steps of the court, which was full of microphones.

Although little George stole the headlines, at least I'm in the news at this speech? She thought so, lifting her long hair disturbed by the wind, valiant and valiant, with a serious expression, facing countless flash lights and shutter sound to the podium.

"Alicia."

Just after taking out the speech, suddenly a subordinate hurried behind her and whispered: "our two key witnesses, the victim himself and her uncle suddenly repented, and they refused to testify in court..."
