"There is no doubt that IQ's behavior has violated the interests of the American record industry in a rough manner. We must give them a hard lesson," William Fisher, chairman of the American Recording Industry Association, held a stern face, and then gracefully took a small sip of the champagne in his mouth... Well, this picture is a little inconsistent... Then he waved his fists angrily: "The appearance of icqmu private cplayer made those damn mp3 music files circulated online, seriously infringing on the interests of the American record industry and our singers. As representatives and leaders and interests defenders of the American record industry, we cannot accept and tolerate the occurrence of this situation. We must stand up and safeguard the interests of the American record industry and give those Internet bastards who are trampling on our interests a fierce lesson!"

Mr. William Fisher's expression was extremely heartbroken, as if the fresh and tender novel that he had raised at home for more than ten years was arched by a barbaric wild boar from some unknown place. But many people below who knew the inside story kept rolling their eyes: Will Mr. William Fisher be so angry, is it related to the rejection of his previous desire to buy some internal shares of IQ?

Of course, although he speculated on Mr. Chairman with the greatest malicious intention in his heart, this did not prevent everyone from giving warm applause to Mr. Chairman’s speech.

Yes, icq has been targeted by the American Recording Industry Association. The American Recording Industry Association hates the icqmu private cplayer, which is known as the "best mp3 music player", so much that he grits his teeth!

Usually when we talk about the American record industry, there is always an organization that cannot be avoided, namely the American Recording Industry Association. It is called Japanese Aa in English, but in fact it is inaccurate. In fact, strictly speaking, there is no qualification as the American Recording Industry Association. The only organization that can represent the American Recording Industry Association is the American Recording Industry Association (Japanese Aa). What we usually call the American Recording Industry Association is actually the American Recording Industry Association. It is just that after it was introduced to China, everyone habitually called the American Recording Industry Association as the American Recording Industry Association.

Back to the topic, why does the American Recording Industry Association hate icq so much? The reason is very simple. ICQmu private cplayer mp3 player not only claims to be the best mp3 music player, but is even regarded as a sound quality artifact by users. With icq, almost every computer with icq chat software installed, has become a must-have music player for computer users to listen to music.

If it's just like that, that's fine. What's even more terrible is that IQQ will soon port the MP3 playback software of icqmu private cplayer to your phone, which means that from then on, the phone in your hand will become a portable MP3 walkman. How can this bring the American Recording Industry Association, which represents the traditional American record industry?

Even for themselves and to protect the interests of the industry, they must do something.

"Yes, I firmly agree with Mr. Fisher's words," said the vice president of the association, Jeffrey Simon, who has always been regarded as William Fisher's hardcore dog-legged expression, more heartbroken than William Fisher: "Gentlemen, ladies, I believe everyone has seen that the Internet era has caused an increasingly greater impact on our traditional record industry, and more and more music has been placed online and has been downloaded and spread for free by countless people without any authorization. There is no doubt that this is a rough infringement on the rights of creators and singers! If this continues, creators and singers will not be able to benefit from their creations and achievements. The entire American record industry will shrink sharply because of this!"

Jeffrey Simon held the microphone in his left hand and kept waving his fists in his right hand. His expression was a bit ferocious: "As the guardians of the order and protectors of the interests of the American record industry, we must never sit idly by and watch this happen. We have the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of the entire industry, singers and creators! We not only have to go to war with those bastards who brutally infringe on our interests, but we also have to urge the government to establish regulations as soon as possible to protect the interests of our creators and singers."

Jeffrey Simon and William Fisher's words hit the minds of the following banquet participants. The voices of support immediately sounded...

"Mr. Fisher, we support you!"

"Mr. Simon, I support your decision!"

"Great, I should have done this long ago..."

"I want to teach those damn bastards a hard lesson..."

“The record industry does not need the Internet…”

Although the rise of the Internet has greatly increased the spread of singers' image and allowed them to make their image known and accepted by the public faster than before the early 1990s, people always habitually ignore the benefits brought to them by the Internet, and only see the harm of the development of the Internet to themselves. In any case, the rise of the Internet has greatly infringed on the traditional rights of singers.

What are the most important channels for singers to make money? There are only three: selling records, holding concerts, and endorsing products. As for investment and financial management, not every singer has this talent.

But making money by holding concerts and making money through product endorsements has always been the patents of first-tier singers and superstar singers. For many second-tier and even lower-tier singers, they may not be able to hold concerts once in two or three years. As for product endorsements, not only can the number of endorsements be compared with first-tier stars and superstars, but the endorsement fee is even more unparalleled. The income from selling records has become their main source of income. Now, the rise of the Internet is equivalent to removing the most important source of income for second-tier singers. How can these singers with huge scale and good strength accept it?

However, while these second-tier singers waved their arms to condemn Lianchuang Technology, the first-tier singers attending the meeting remained silent.

Being able to become a first-line singer not only means that their innate conditions are better. Usually, their IQ will be a little better, otherwise they will definitely not be able to stand out from so many singers. Naturally, the interests of the Internet and the record industry are more considered. Although the Internet has indeed caused some impact on the traditional interests of the record industry, they believe that they can find a benefit solution that satisfies both parties... In fact, they have enjoyed the benefits of the Internet era.

But at this time they can't say anything, otherwise they will be enemies of the entire American record industry. Even superstars of Madonna and Michael Jackson dare not do this. The only way is to remain silent.

The banquet was very successful. When the banquet ended, the American Recording Industry Association had reached an agreement with the singers: IQ Company must be sued in the court. They were ordered to immediately stop this rough violation of the interests of the American Recording Industry and make financial compensation and apologies to the industry.

What? You said that the American Recording Industry Association does not play according to common sense and does not have a lawyer's letter to IQ Company directly. Everyone negotiated first and then went to court after the negotiation failed?

Sorry, the American Recording Industry Association really doesn't plan to do this. The reason is very simple. One is, the American Recording Industry Association wants to use this method to kill monkeys and chickens. Use the giant in the Internet era to warn other Internet companies that infringe on the interests of the American record industry: We are not even afraid of icq, and will care about you? As for the second reason, who made the boss of icq a Easterner is an Oriental? It is said that Orientals are easier to bully...

As for whether it is really easy to bully, you have to bully it before you know...

Maybe there are other reasons, who knows?

If you choose an industry with the closest connection with the media, there is no doubt that it must be the entertainment industry. I wonder how many media have to rely on the entertainment industry to make a living. As the behind-the-scenes manager of one of the entertainment industry, when the American Recording Industry Association sent an invitation letter to the media, saying that there were heavyweight news to be released, all the media were immediately excited: Ha... Is something big going to happen?

"On behalf of all American singers, the American Recording Association will file an injunction with the Los Angeles federal court, requiring the Los Angeles federal court to immediately ban the use of IQ Company's mp3 playback software: IQMU private cplayer on the PC end and on any handheld electronic devices!" Standing at the gate of the American Recording Association, facing countless journalists holding microphones below, the association's chairman William Fisher looked full of energy.

What? The American Recording Industry Association, which represents the American record industry, is going to sue the most popular Internet company IQ company? The reporters below the steps were immediately excited: It's worth the trip!

Countless microphones were immediately tucked into William Fisher's mouth, and problems gushed out of the reporters' mouths...

"Mr. Fisher, can you elaborate on the reasons why the American Recording Industry Association sued IQ?"

“Did this decision by the American Recording Industry Association receive the majority support of the association’s members?”

"Mr. Fisher, what is the legal basis for the American Recording Industry Association to sue IQ Company?"

"Mr. Fisher, do you think the court will support you?"

"Mr. Fisher, do you think the American Recording Association's lawsuit against IQ Company will have an impact on IQ's listing?"

"Mr. Fisher..."

Looking at the surging reporters below, William Fisher smiled happily. He felt that everything was in his control. He looked down at the crowds on the high clouds. He liked this feeling and enjoyed this feeling.

"Dear reporters and friends," pressed down with both hands. When the reporters finally became less excited, William Fisher said: "The Japanese sued IQ to protect the interests of the record industry and singers. As we all know, with the rise of the Internet, the spread of pirated music on the Internet is becoming more and more rampant, but this behavior is a rough infringement on the rights and interests of singers and creators!

As the order defender of the American record industry, the American Recording Association has the responsibility and obligation to safeguard the rights and interests of singers and creators, and to ensure the healthy development of the industry. The emergence of icqmu private cplayer software may not only allow people to use it to download and play music in unauthorized mp3 compressed format on the Internet, but also intensify the spread of pirated music on the Internet. This violates the '1992 American Family Recording Act', which is why we sued icq companies."

When he said this, William Fisher's eyes kept falling on the reporters in the entertainment section of the icq website on the scene.

As the most powerful online media recognized by everyone today, the IQ portal naturally has the entertainment section, and is the top heavyweight section among all sections. This time, the American Recording Industry Association is about to release heavyweight news, and the IQ website naturally sent reporters to interview on the spot. Now I heard that William Fisher, the most powerful figure in the American record industry, wanted to sue his company, how could the on-site director still bear it? He quickly called the company's phone number...

………………………………………

"The American Recording Industry Association is going to sue us?" Lin Zheng couldn't even close his mouth when he received a call from Benier: "Why do they sue us? What are they suing us?"

"They said we have intensified the spread of pirated music on the Internet and asked the Los Angeles federal court to ban the use of icqmu private cplayer on computers and electronic devices, and to make financial compensation," hesitated, Benier said: "Boss, what should we do? Should we strive to reach a settlement with the American Recording Industry Association? icq is about to go public, and such news comes out at this time..."

"I...don't!" Lin Zheng swears.

The swearing was not because he was annoyed, but because Lin Zheng was only defeated by the American logic.

Lin Zheng understood Benier's concern. Such negative news came out a few days before the company went public, which would definitely have a serious impact on the company's stock price. For IQ, the top priority at the moment is that the company's listing must be eliminated as much as possible. For this goal, even if it appropriately gives up some of the benefits to the American Recording Industry Association, it is not unrelated.

But Lin Zheng absolutely cannot accept such blackmail! (To be continued...)
