Chapter 1361 Joint Plaintiffs

Nobuyuki Izumi did not expect that other music record companies would actually invite themselves to sue Daqian together. This was a good thing for Nobuyuki Izumi.

After learning about it, Nobuyuki Izui learned that people from Rolling Stone Records found that someone in Wanwan had downloaded the MP3 file of pirated Rolling Stone Music online, and copied it to MP3, and then they could directly hear the music under Rolling Stone Records. They didn't spend a penny from beginning to end, and they didn't even leave their homes. They just clicked the mouse to the computer.

This made Rolling Stone Records notice the crisis at the first time.

If you say that Wanwan people are famous for being petty, ordinary companies will probably pass by when they see such a situation.

But Rolling Stone Records are different. They seem to have seen that netizens around the world can download pirated music files through their computers. Then the entire market for Rolling Stone products will collapse?

So Rolling Stone Records began to prepare for the future and called the police as soon as possible, but the Wanwan police ignored this kind of thing at most. At most, they would just be arrested and imprisoned for a few days.

However, it is useless to use it. After all, Rolling Stone Records cannot stare at everyone, stare at whether all the songs in MP3 are genuine. If you start from the user side, it will be something that will never be able to be done in your life.

Then Rolling Stone Records thought, you sue every user, but can't I sue the company that makes MP3?

It is this damn company that creates MP3 and causes the entire piracy and damages their profits. They can ask the company to stop producing this thing and compensate them for their economic losses in large quantities.

Especially when Rolling Stone Records learned that this company was from a mainland company that was always poor and backward and could not even be considered a poor relative, a feeling of inexplicably sourness came out.

However, Rolling Stone Records also knows that Daqian is too large in size, and it is difficult for a small company like himself to win the case. The only way is to join forces with other forces.

So Rolling Stone Records began to collect various evidence overnight, and at the same time persuaded Universal Records, Sony Music and other large music companies around the world to issue joint prosecutions. In the end, a total of 5 large music groups and 23 small and medium-sized music companies jointly established a huge 28 group and initiated a joint lawsuit against Daqian Electronics.

When these music companies were joining forces, the US Recording Industry Association took the initiative to come and proposed that they should take the lead in prosecution.

The reason is very simple, because the US Recording Industry Association also keenly realized that their doomsday might come.

Although the era of recording has passed, and now there are few senior music lovers, there are almost no one who will buy vinyl records, and there are only three companies in the world that can still produce records.

But the US Record Industry Association is actually selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, or in their words, it is a more broad-based record, so tapes, CDs, etc. are included in the category of records. Now the US Record Industry Association is actually an association composed of major tape and CD manufacturers around the world.

Some readers may feel strange. Before the tape was eliminated, why didn’t the American Industrial Records Association sue when the tape was eliminated?

The reason is very simple, because whether it is a record, a tape or a CD, music needs to be on a carrier, so the original record-making company only needs to replace the equipment and can still carry out its own old business.

But MP3 is different. MP3 does not require any music carrier. You just need to connect to a computer and click a little to hear all the music in the world.

For record companies, the birth of MP3 is not to replace their equipment, but to explore their roots. How can you let the US Recording Industry Association accept this situation!

So, a giant plaintiff group led by the United States Industrial Records Association and joined by 28 music production companies around the world, filed a lawsuit in the California Court of Appeals in the United States, accusing Daqian of MP3 of infringement of the copyright of music and demanded Daqian of 1.28 billion US dollars in compensation, and at the same time, the production of MP3 was permanently stopped.

Because of this huge prosecution group and the global hot sales of Daqian MP3, the prosecution news immediately caused a huge wave of huge waves after being reported.

Almost all media in the world have begun to report this case crazily, and some media even used the first infringement case in the 1990s to describe this case.

Even the domestic media in China also reported this case in thousands of columns and reports almost every day. However, when Boss Jia was a little disappointed, many domestic media were actually accusing Daqian, who accused Daqian of producing a breeding ground for pirated copies, a complicity of the pirates, etc. In the end, Daqian was accused of throwing away all the faces of the Chinese.

This made Boss Jia so angry that his nose was crooked. Originally, this huge plaintiff had not made Boss Jia angry, but these domestic media really made Boss Jia feel disgusted.

There is nothing to say about dealing with such people. We must use a refreshing victory to prove who is justice.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were staring at Daqian Electronics, wanting to know how this company that had just changed the music industry would face a huge counterattack from almost the entire industry.

——————————

Daqian’s solution is very simple, that is, to sue.

On the second day after the huge prosecution team issued a joint lawsuit, Dong Mingzhu spoke on behalf of Daqian that there was no problem with Daqian's products, Daqian itself did not infringe on the rights and interests of any enterprises or individuals, Daqian did not make any mistakes, and there was no need to compensate anyone, Daqian MP3 would not stop selling, everything was decided by the law, not the mouths of some people.

Daqian was a head-on challenge. Then, according to some sources, Daqian's chairman Boss Jia had just returned from France and flew to the United States immediately, obviously to deal with this trial.

You should know that this court trial is of great significance to Daqian. If the plaintiff wins the case, it means that Daqian not only has to compensate for huge compensation, but also completely abandons the MP3, a huge market that has just emerged. This is a level of billions of dollars for Daqian's losses. No matter how much Boss Jia pays attention to it, it is natural.

These news and speculations are circulating wildly in this media, giving all viewers a very intuitive impression. That is, if Daqian loses this time, then MP3 will become a flash in the pan and will not be sold on the market.

So will Daqian MP3, which is still being scolded, become a unique product. If you miss a moment, you will miss something that will last for a lifetime?

Thinking of this, many people who were not in a hurry to buy MP3 and planned to wait until the price of this thing is reduced before taking action.

As a result, on the third day after the lawsuit, Daqian MP3 fully opened spot sales for the 7th time, and a total of 5 million spot units were all snatched up within three days.

In the next three months, the 8th, the 9th, and until the 15th, the 15th, the 15th spot sale was launched, and the total number of Daqian MP3s was about 42 million units. There was nothing left, and all of them were sold out, making Sony and other companies dumbfounded.

You know, the Walkman that swept the world back then lasted 5 years before it sold more than 100 million units worldwide. As a result, this MP3 sold more than 40 million units in three months. With such crazy sales, who should they ask for?
