"Mr. Cheng, are you sure you have thought this through? If you don't accept mediation, you will be responsible for the consequences of what happens next."
A few days have passed since the pre-trial mediation, and there has been no news of settlement from Paradise Cloud Music. Penguin Music is a little anxious.
What does this mean?
Is the Paradise Group out of ideas?
He is actually willing to influence the e-commerce hen in the group that lays golden eggs for a branch that has not yet begun to make much profit.
Peng Jiaxin could not figure out why Cheng Yingying could continue to sit firmly on Diaoyutai without any intention of contacting him.
So, one night, he took the initiative to call.
"Yes, if we don't mediate, we will take over whatever happens."
Cheng Yingying was chatting in Zhong Leyi's room. She was in a good mood these days. With Gu Yun standing behind her to fully support her, she didn't need to worry about anything.
She answered slowly, using the gentlest tone and the harshest words.
"Okay, that's it."
Peng Jiaxin sneered and hung up the phone.
After just a few words of communication, he felt that he had seen through Cheng Yingying's short-sightedness and selfishness.
Is she confused about the situation?
"Leyi, do you think my dress looks good?"
During the peaceful days waiting for the court hearing, Cheng Yingying and Zhong Leyi often went shopping together.
Although there are all women in the team, except for Cheng Yingying and Zhong Leyi, no one can hang out together.
Either the status of the assistant is not equal, or the level of consumption power is not at the same level, or the age is relatively high, and there are differences in aesthetics.
The two people, who are similar in age and have no financial gap, quickly established a good friendship.
When they went shopping, Jiangcheng Daily reporter Zheng Jiangmei would occasionally follow them, taking photos and recording the streets of Shenzhen.
When passing by the Penguin Building, take a photo with a "click", when sitting with Penguin Fang for mediation, take a photo with a "click", and when meeting the judge to upload evidence, take a photo with a "click".
After the filming, I simply added a lot of the daily life of the two of them.
These are precious information reported after returning to Jiangcheng, and they are also evidence of Paradise Cloud Music’s efforts in safeguarding legitimate rights and interests.
"It looks good. You look so stylish in this kind of clothes~"
Compared with the image of the not-rich schoolgirl in Zhong Leyi's memory, the current Cheng Yingying is calm and elegant. She not only retains the tenacity and independence of the original fishing village girl, but also perfectly integrates the traits she has grown up into.
She was wearing a black dress-like skirt. Her well-proportioned figure and healthy skin showed that she still maintained good self-control.
As she walked, Cheng Yingying's waist swayed like lotus leaves in the rain, natural and charming, overflowing with unpretentious style and sexiness from head to toe.
"Then please help me pack this."
Cheng Yingying walked into the fitting room with a smile, handed the black skirt she changed into to the waiter, and the two of them walked out of the dress shop carrying the bags.
In high-end business districts, women's clothing is often connected into one area. Zhong Leyi turned her head and saw a familiar store.
She took Cheng Yingying's arm and signaled gently.
"Um?"
"Sister Yingying, did you buy the underwear you gave me last time from this store?"
Zhong Leyi whispered into Cheng Yingying's ear, blushing and blinking a few times.
"Yes, what's the matter? You think it's good?"
Cheng Yingying got it right, looked at Zhong Leyi meaningfully, and changed her steps involuntarily.
From Zhong Leyi's expression, she already knew the answer.
Who doesn't like to be noble and cool on weekdays, but then see the surprise of being full of lust after taking off the restraints?
On the opening day of the trial, the Nanshan District Court was crowded with people, and onlookers formed a long queue. Countless media and people gathered at the entrance of the litigation service hall, all wanting to get the latest news about the case.
On the one hand, the local media were all surprised that Paradise Cloud Music could not give in and actually went to the point of confronting Penguin in court.
On the other hand, the Penguins, who are hard to beat in Nanshan District, have indeed not faced an opponent of this level for a long time.
First, he posted words on major news media and the Internet, catching Penguin off guard with a public opinion war. Then, he completed the formation of the legal team at lightning speed and went to Shenzhen to start a litigation journey.
How many companies can achieve this resolute attitude and unwavering decisiveness?
What's more, Cheng Yingying, the leader who came to participate in the lawsuit on behalf of Paradise Cloud Music, is such a beautiful female vice president, which makes the topic more discussion and attention-grabbing.
"Penguin won't lose, right? If the court decides to lose, it would be embarrassing to apologize publicly. After all, Penguin has copied this and that for so many years and has never apologized to anyone."
"Brother, take a good look, this is Nanshan!"
"What happened to Nanshan? If you had seen the evidence posted by Paradise Cloud Music on Weibo, you wouldn't be so confident."
As discussions outside the court continued, the court door slowly opened and the trial officially ended.
Except for some lucky people and reporters who attended the trial, everyone finally saw the expressions of both parties just after the verdict was pronounced.
"Mr. Peng, what do you think of this case?"
People with long guns and short cannons swarmed up. You may not know much about the unfamiliar faces of Paradise Cloud Music, but as a local reporter, you are very familiar with Peng Jiaxin’s middle-aged, fat face.
According to convention, reporters can interview the parties after the trial, but generally speaking, the judge will most likely not accept interviews.
Therefore, the first-hand results of the case can only be inferred from the feedback of the parties involved.
But Peng Jiaxin had a cold face and had no intention of accepting an interview. He simply said "Thank you for your concern" to the reporters and left in a hurry while being escorted by his subordinates.
Seeing Peng Jiaxin's reaction, the media and the audience realized that Nanshan Pizza Hut had lost!
When first-hand news spread all over the world, it didn't take long for Paradise Cloud Music to publicly announce the verdict and victory announcement on its official media and major platforms.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to the trial results released by the Nanshan District People's Court, the verdict found that Penguin Music plagiarized the songs of Paradise Cloud Music and imitated the main interface and its functions.
It constituted unfair competition, and Penguin Music was ordered to immediately stop the infringement and compensate Paradise Cloud Music for losses of 10 million yuan.
Paradise Cloud Music not only announced its victory against Penguin Music for plagiarism on all channels, but also showed the specific key points of the Nanshan District Court’s judgment in the announcement.
1. Unfair competition is constituted by illegally playing unlicensed songs, mass-impersonating songs, plagiarizing product innovations, evading or even confronting supervision;
2. QQ Music, Kugou Music, and Kuwo Music under Penguin Music should completely delete the 25 plagiarized elements involving infringement in their apps within 30 days from the date of judgment;
Third, Penguin Company should pay economic losses and reasonable expenses to Paradise Cloud Music for its infringement. The amount of compensation is determined by Penguin Music’s sales volume and influence on major platforms. The compensation is determined to be RMB 10 million.
The verdict is attached to the latest announcement.
Moreover, Paradise Cloud Music expressed its gratitude to all users who have always supported and cared about it, and also expressed its attitude towards creators and users.
Continuously supporting and protecting the rights and interests of music creators and users is the belief and principle that Paradise Cloud Music has always adhered to, and we will work together with everyone in the future.
Finally, Paradise Cloud Music stated that the 10 million yuan in compensation from Penguin Music will be used to establish an original music chart, with a bonus pool of just 10 million yuan, all of which will be used to reward high-quality original music.
This is tantamount to continuing to sprinkle a pinch of salt on Penguin Music's wounds.
As soon as the announcement came out, the entire Internet trend completely changed this time.
There are no more followers who stand up to support Penguin Music and clamor for big companies not to plagiarize.
Penguin lost.
It was a complete loss.
The influence of this case not only means that Nanshan Pizza Hut's reputation is no longer what it used to be, but it also makes keen business owners and people who are interested in food see another thing clearly.
In recent years, the country has gradually begun to pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights, proposing that strengthening intellectual property protection is an intrinsic requirement to promote the construction of an innovative country and promote high-quality development.
"Intellectual Property and Youth: Innovating for a Better Future" is not only the theme of the recent World Property Protection Day, but also the content creation industry with intellectual property as its core is being protected from the Supreme Court to various provinces and cities, and even grassroots courts.
The general trend represented by the will of the top management is definitely not something that a penguin with a big family and a big business can influence the judicial authorities to impose penalties.
What surprised many people was that Paradise Cloud Music, which was originally not optimistic and relatively niche, made a big splash in the Internet industry because of its insistence on filing a lawsuit with Penguin Music.
Not only has the number of downloads in major software stores soared to the top of the daily charts, but it has also received five-star reviews from countless taps.
"The warrior finally defeated the dragon!"
“Supporting Paradise Cloud Music, it is currently the music software with the best user experience.”
"I think it is impossible for young people in the new era to lack such a software on their mobile phones. Although there is still a long way to go compared to Penguin Music in terms of copyright and number of songs, the future is promising."
Yishui's praise has caused the number of users of Paradise Cloud Music to skyrocket. Apart from the high compensation, it has actually gained a lot.
In addition, the large number of forwarded comments on Weibo has become a carnival for music critics and original musicians.
"Everyone has seen that even the Nanshan District Court did not make a judgment to protect the local large taxpayers when faced with infringements such as Penguin Music's plagiarism. What does this mean?"
“Each of us should respond to the country’s call for intellectual property protection, strengthen support and protection for creators’ intellectual property rights, and create a good creative environment for creators.”
Well-known music critic Wang Lei from "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" said.
"I agree with Brother Lei's judgment. Supporting originality, respecting, and insisting on safeguarding intellectual property rights and creators' rights are the needs of the music industry, the need of national development, and the need of the development of the content creation industry."
"The conclusion of the plagiarism and infringement case won by Paradise Cloud Music against Penguin Music is not only a judgment on Penguin Group's infringement, but also an important milestone in promoting the healthy development of the industry."
There are many visionary big names in the content creation industry.
In the past, the days when capital could be used to reduce the dimensionality of emerging industries are over. Simply copying other people’s paths will not get you far.
God, things are going to change.
Leying Law Firm’s first off-site litigation ended in complete victory.
The big boss Gu Yun personally went to Jiangcheng Tianhe Airport to pick him up. In the evening, he set up a table at a hotel near Paradise Cloud Music to greet all the heroes.
"Director Wang, I can win the case this time thanks to your help and guidance. I'd like to give you a toast."
Cheng Yingying walked up to Wang Xiaohong holding the goblet with a spring breeze on her face, and gently lowered the rim of the cup.
"You're welcome, Xiao Cheng. The case itself is not complicated, and you did a good job in the preliminary work. You are all great!"
Wang Xiaohong was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
At the trial, as the defense lawyer of Paradise Cloud Music, she successfully defeated Jiang Bo, the big devil of Penguin Legal Department.
Jiang Bo is a highly educated and senior judge, and she is also a highly educated and senior judge, but her cards and reputation are both weaker than Jiang Bo's.
When it comes to legal training, length of employment, and work attitude, Wang Xiaohong thinks there is no difference between her and Jiang Bo.
But why did Jiang Bo go further?
Within the system, location and timing determine everything.
Jiang Bo made his debut in the courts of Guangdong Province, which has a developed economy, sound rule of law, and is visible to upper-level leaders.
And what about Wang Xiaohong?
She started her career in Jiangcheng's grassroots court, and the president of the district court was her ceiling at this age.
If she had not resolutely chosen to resign and engage in the legal profession, no matter in terms of financial income, social status, or recognized reputation, she might not have been able to defeat Jiang Bo even once in her life.
Now, Leying Law Firm has given her a chance.
"We've had enough to drink today. I suggest that we all do one together and then go back to our respective homes, okay?"
After drinking and drinking, everyone became happier and happier, and even forgot the time.
The reason is very simple. The Paradise Cloud Music team received a huge amount of compensation, and the leaders who participated in the business trip also granted their subordinates a few days of paid leave. It was a surprise from the sky.
Not to mention Leying Law Firm, the logic of the legal industry is not complicated. Lawyer fees are charged according to the subject amount of the property involved, and Penguin Music, the losing party, will bear the full amount.
Everyone gets hundreds of thousands, isn't that enough to get drunk?
Gu Yun raised his cup and saw from the corner of his eye that many people were already drunk, especially Zhong Leyi, who had fallen asleep on the table and planned to end the celebration dinner.
Cheng Yingying was the last one to leave. She was drunk and had no bottom. After sending away her subordinates and two lawyers with a smile, she turned her head and looked at Gu Yun.
"Why don't you call a substitute driver? It's a trivial matter for Le Yi to vomit in the car if she drinks like this. It would be bad if she chokes."
Gu Yun nodded and put down the phone in his hand. That was indeed what happened.
"Take her to my house. I just have something to ask you."
Cheng Yingying pointed to a community not far away. Her home is very close to the company.
