Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"99 Entertainment, Huayi, Bona, Emperor, Meiya, Media Asia and other 83 copyright owners formed an anti-piracy alliance to jointly pirate "Crazy Stone" on more than 400 websites including Youku, Tudou, Ku6, and 56. "A World Without Thieves", "Kung Fu", "Struggle" and other more than 1,000 film and television dramas have been sued for illegal acts!"

"The alliance stated: We hope that this large-scale action will set off a wave of rights protection on video websites, and promote the healthy, fair development and win-win situation of the film and television and video Internet industries!"

"..."

Wang Wei frowned after reading it, and said to himself: "It's true! Why did you suddenly have a convulsion?"

He was surprised and nervous, but generally calm, and it's not like he hasn't been accused before. Not only Tudou, but most of the peers have been accused, and there is nothing wrong with it.

For example, Ciwen Media, which produced works such as "Little Fish and Flowers", "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" and "Double Cannon", once sued 56.com. After the court ruled, 56.com does not bear any responsibility.

Because there is a regulation in the "Regulations on the Protection of the Right to Disseminate Information on Information Networks", which simply says: if the content uploaded by the user privately, the copyright owner informs the website, if the website deletes the content in time, it will not be held responsible...

This nonsense regulation has caused pain to countless copyright parties, and it has also allowed countless websites to take advantage of loopholes.

As mentioned earlier, the website will allow its own editors, or hire people, or simply develop software to automatically upload videos. If caught, it will be said that it is the user's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the website.

They call it the "safe harbor" clause!

So Wang Wei is generally calm, but this time the scale is too big, looking at the companies in front of him is scary, the media has already heard the news, and someone called him to interview him immediately.

"Hello?"

"Yes, I already know!"

"Actually, my attitude has always been like this. Tudou.com is acting in accordance with the law and severely cracking down on piracy. We have always been working hard for the construction of genuine editions. I am also a little confused about this movement. There may be misunderstandings in communication..."

A reporter was hung up, and not long after, another reporter called for an interview.

I didn't even do anything else all day, just make phone calls.

The second day intensified, and on the third day, Wang Wei simply called dozens of media outlets across the country and held a conference call to respond to questions in a unified manner.

The founders of websites such as Youku, 56, and Ku6 are also facing the same problem. For a while, public opinion is everywhere, and it is very lively.

Although these websites are not afraid, they are passive in their stance, and to put it bluntly, they don't take reason. They don't know what tricks the other party will use, so they can only wait and see for the time being.

The Anti-Piracy Alliance is not in a hurry, and will post a news every few days to tell everyone where the program has come.

"According to the list released by the Anti-Piracy Alliance, we have obtained relevant evidence of infringed film and television dramas!"

"Hong Kong Media Asia, Meiya, Emperor, etc. stated that they will resolutely defend their rights and always stand with their counterparts in the mainland!"

"The head video website has become a key target, and may be subject to a claim of 100 million yuan!"

"Shanghai Court Net has seen 14 copyright lawsuits against Tudou!"

Different from the previous ones, this time it feels like we are going to do it for real.

…………

Tan Xiaolin is an editor at Tudou.com.

Not long after graduating from university, I stayed in Shanghai to work. Tudou.com is an emerging video industry on the Internet, and the salary is not bad. The average monthly salary in Shanghai is 2,892 yuan, and the house price is 9,755 yuan.

Counting all kinds of subsidies every month, she can have more than 3,000 yuan. There is no skill in the work, just reviewing and promoting videos, relying on patience, I am quite satisfied, thinking about saving money to buy a house is flattering.

This morning.

Tan Xiaolin rushed to the company from the rented house, took over the job from the night shift editor, and reviewed the video while eating egg pancakes.

Tudou.com adds about 1,600 new videos every day, 90% of which are pirated resources, and half of these 90% are made by the company.

One of her daily tasks is to upload at least 30 videos, and the number of hits is linked to performance.

How to find the video? Some are downloaded by myself, some are picked up from other websites, or even directly from the TV. That's right, directly use technical means to pick up the content!

Tan Xiaolin logged on to her "netizen account" and uploaded the latest episode of "Naruto". After uploading, she reviewed it for herself and then released it.

This is a fixed task that she was assigned to update "Naruto". Japan has already broadcast the second part. Naruto followed Jiraiya to go out to practice and come back...

After the Japanese resources come out, the subtitle team will translate them and post them on a membership-only website called "Everyone Video".

"Everyone Movies and Television" is incredible. Foreign movies, TV shows, animations, and everything are available. It is currently the most powerful and monopolized resource site, and all major video sites draw nutrition from it.

After Tan Xiaolin passed on "Naruto", she began to freely search for other videos to complete today's task. Searching and searching turned into fishing. I caught a video and watched it first.

This is an American drama called "The L Word", about lesbians.

She was very excited after watching an episode, because there were a lot of revealing scenes and hand-to-hand scenes between beauties. This kind of video is usually a traffic entry and is very popular among netizens.

"This month's bonus is guaranteed!"

Tan Xiaolin happily uploaded the video, and the editors of Tudou.com were very busy, and they would compete for big resources such as "Naruto", "Kangxi Is Coming" and "Men and Women's Pickets".

After she uploaded it, she checked the time and it was time for lunch. She wanted to touch fish again, but the phone rang suddenly.

"..."

When she looked at the number, her complexion changed, and she hid in the stairwell with her mobile phone.

"How about it, have you considered it?"

"I, I still don't feel right."

"why?"

"I always feel guilty, why don't you find someone else?"

"Why do you feel guilty? You are in the workplace, and the workplace requires people to go to high places and water to flow to low places. We pay you three times the current salary, and there are extra remuneration, and you don't need to show your face , I just want you to tell the truth about Tudou.com.

You should know that our latest move is to rectify the copyright market. It will be a matter of time before the formalization of copyright. These websites are dragging on for a day, and we know it well.

When the policy was issued, the video sites had no power to fight back, and had to obediently buy copyrights. What do you think your behavior will be then? Do you feel guilty for uploading those pirated content? "

"This won't be..."

"So, the feeling of guilt is illusory, and the shackles imposed by ourselves. In other words, when copyright is formalized, we will also increase investment in video websites. Do you think Tudou can win or we can win? ?”

"..."

Tan Xiaolin was silent, hesitated for a long time, and finally hesitated, feeling very ashamed and betrayed: "I really don't need to show my face?"

"certainly!"

"That, that..."

"Okay, I will arrange everything, you just listen to the news."

The other party hung up.

When Tan Xiaolin walked back step by step and returned to her seat, she suddenly felt relaxed. That's right, people go to high places, and water flows to low places!

Compared with the other party, she really has no confidence in Tudou.

(no more...)
