Along with the sound of the trumpet, stacks of newspapers were carried down by several big men one after another.
These days, free things are snapped up by people. Even though it’s just a newspaper, everyone is interested and runs over to ask for it, surrounding the van.
In particular, customers who were planning to buy VCDs became even more interested at this moment. They put down their VCDs on the spot and ran over to pick up newspapers to watch.
It has been almost a year since Hongbiao VCD and Qianyan VCD came to Shanghai. Unexpectedly, they actually violated the law. This is big news.
Everyone was originally resentful of the price increase of Qianyan VCD and Hongbiao VCD. Now that such a thing has happened, everyone is applauding, accusing these two VCD brands that they deserve it, and demanding that they be severely punished.
These days, because there is no self-media and the emergence of unscrupulous editors, the credibility of the media is still very strong. Many people also like to read newspapers and believe the news in newspapers.
Even in retaliation for the sudden price increase of Hongbiao VCD and Qianyan VCD, many customers spontaneously took over the newspapers and passed them to passers-by one by one.
It wasn't until the newspaper spread to everyone that Zeng Yi and Mr. Huang, who were stunned at the door of the store, finally reacted.
Damn, who the hell is this? He came here to cause trouble, right?
Zeng Yi's first reaction was to stop these people quickly. Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, what was this so-called infringement about?
They all had to quickly stop these people from distributing newspapers.
Mr. Huang angrily led a group of people towards the van and cursed angrily.
"This must be Yang Jianguang's doing. This guy has been holding back and keeping silent. It turns out that he has been preparing to plot against us secretly."
Soon, Zeng Yi led two groups of people and rushed forward, cursing, but because there were so many onlookers outside, they couldn't squeeze in.
Even though they rudely ordered these customers to get out of the way, many customers spit on the ground in front of them when they saw that it was Zeng Yi and the others, not to mention that they were giving way.
Zeng Yi, who was disappointed, could only pick up a newspaper on the ground with a dark face.
But when he took a quick look, the content in the newspaper immediately made his face turn pale.
The content on the loudspeaker was not wrong. Someone actually published an article in Shanghai Daily accusing the two of them of illegal infringement. Moreover, this article was still in the most conspicuous position of Shanghai Daily.
The article not only talks about how their Hongbiao VCD forcibly took away the name of Yang Jianguang’s original Hongbiao VCD,
It also specifically explained that all the discs used by the two of them, including music movies and other content, are not officially authorized, and the only one that holds the authorization for many film resources is the Macro Label VCD in the hands of Yang Jianguang.
The last sentence of the article says this: It is everyone’s responsibility to support genuine products.
For the development of our country’s science and technology, and for the awakening of our country’s awareness of authenticity, we hope that all Shanghai people and all Chinese people will stand up and boycott counterfeit companies and counterfeit products.”
When he saw this last sentence, Zeng Yi suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He raised his head with a pale face, and Mr. Huang in the distance was holding a newspaper with the same frightened expression.
Obviously, the other party has also realized the trouble of the problem.
Because what the article says is not wrong, they do not have the copyright to these resources.
These days, everyone’s copyright awareness is not strong.
What’s wrong with using pirated resources?
Besides, in their initial view, the copyright holders of these resources were far away in Hong Kong, so how could they go to the mainland to sue them for infringement?
But they never expected that Yang Jianguang would obtain the copyright of these resources without anyone noticing.
The first time they saw the article, the two of them were convinced that this must be Yang Jianguang's fault.
The most important thing is that, legally speaking, they have indeed infringed Yang Jianguang’s copyright.
In fact, to be honest, how do people these days know what copyright is and what sense of authenticity they have?
Many of the things they usually use are pirated and copied from others.
It’s just that ordinary users don’t know.
But this kind of thing cannot be complained by others, and others directly point it out in newspapers, not to mention that it is Shanghai Daily that many Shanghai people trust and pay most attention to.
After reading the article, someone immediately started shouting and inciting people in the crowd.
"It turns out that the VCD we spent thousands of dollars on doesn't have copyright, so why did we buy it?"
"I just said that the quality of the previous Hongbiao VCD was so good. It turns out that the current Hongbiao VCD has fooled me. Bah, these people are so shameless. They even forced people to change their names."
Listening to the deliberate incitement from the crowd, Zeng Yi turned pale and wanted to explain.
These words are clearly intended to confuse the public. It is clear that they only infringe the copyright of the movie content. Where does the copyright of VCD come from?
But in this case, no matter how they explain it, it has no effect.
And after everyone read the content in the newspaper.
Incited by the article, everyone stared angrily at Zeng Yi and the others.
Zeng Yi could only watch helplessly as a few people fled after distributing newspapers, and then explained to the many customers with a wry smile.
"Dear customers, I'm really sorry. I don't know whether the content in this newspaper is true or false. Someone must be deliberately slandering us."
"Slander you."
An old man in the crowd sneered.
"Bah, an unscrupulous company like yours that sells VCDs for 5,000 yuan still needs others to slander it?"
"You're right. Return it to me quickly. I didn't expect you don't even have the copyright.
Why would I buy such pirated stuff?"
"I spent 4,000 yuan to buy a bunch of pirated copies. If word gets out about this, how will I behave?
Refund the money quickly.”
Many customers angrily surrounded Zeng Yi and his gang. Fortunately, the younger brother saw what was going on and quickly called the police.
It wasn't until the police came that they were rescued.
However, when they were rescued, Zeng Yi and others had more or less footprints on their bodies.
Seeing the still angry customers, Zeng Yi could only return to the store in embarrassment.
However, with this attitude, today's opening is simply a failure and cannot fail again.
After returning to the office, Zeng Yi clenched his fists with a dark face.
"Damn Yang Jianguang, he actually plotted against me like this, it's too much."
"How dare you offend both of our families at once, just wait for revenge from both of us."
But Zeng Yi's harsh words didn't last long. Soon, a group of people in uniforms walked into their store.
Before Zeng Yi could help but stand up and be polite, one of the leaders took the initiative to take out his law enforcement certificate and said unceremoniously.
"Are you Zeng Yi?
The boss of Hongbiao vcd?
Someone has reported that you have infringed on other people's copyrights. Now, on behalf of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I request you to remove all suspected infringing movie and TV series discs."
