Shenhao: Gold Medal Investor

Various data flashed frequently in Gao Si's mind, which made him raise his lips slightly.

Gao Si was satisfied with this result. He immediately joined the WeChat group "Love each other as a family". This group was not Gao Si's family group. The co-founders of all the projects he invested in were here.

Gao Si: Congratulations to Yunmei. She took the initiative in a short period of time and severely damaged Qi'e Music. This battle was well fought. @深云梅

Wang Shanshan: First of all, send flowers to congratulate [Spread Flowers]. Did I miss any big news?

Gao Si: I understand your music’s recent counterattack, which has caused the membership renewal rate of Qi’e Music to drop by 49%, directly halving it. Please don’t share the internal data, otherwise you will be in the dock. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.

Wang Shanshan: Yunmei is mighty [Spreading Flowers] @深云mei.

Chi Ying: [Applause] That’s great.

Deng Yu: [Applause]

Gao Wenting: [Applause] Sister Yun, this is the rhythm of becoming a god in one battle.

Shen Yunmei: @高思, how do you know the membership renewal data of Qi’e Music? Is it such an exaggeration?

Gao Si: Investors always know more than you @深云梅

Li Li: [Spreading Flowers] Yun Mei becomes a god in one battle

Wei Qing: [Spreading Flowers] Yun Mei becomes a god in one battle

…

Shen Yunmei is not interested in the idea of ​​becoming a god in one battle. On the contrary, Shen Yunmei has felt a lot of pressure since she started promoting. The feeling of having a huge sum of money to spend is not as satisfying as she imagined.

Soon, Shen Yunmei's phone number came through.

"Gao Si, give me some inside information quickly, I can't bear it anymore."

Gao Siqi said: "It sounds like you are under a lot of pressure. I prepared 3 billion funds for you, ready for you to fight with your life. But you didn't even spend 100 million, so you cut Qi'e in half. Do you want any inside information?" ?”

Shen Yunmei sighed and said: "Qi'e's membership renewal rate has been cut in half, and it's not all my fault."

"Oh? What's the reason?" Gao Si asked.

Shen Yunmei said: "I understand that your app is now completely free, and listening to copyrighted music on the site is also free. Therefore, Qi'e has launched a music season. During the music season, all music works are free. This That’s why Qi’e’s renewal rate has been cut in half.”

In fact, it was not that Gao Si had never doubted Qi'e's data. He was just blinded by the victory in front of him. He suddenly realized it after hearing Shen Yunmei's explanation. Although the data will not lie, there is still a lot of doubts about the data. The interpretation may be wrong.

Gao Si said: "No matter what, these invincible bosses must seriously challenge us. Thinking of this makes me feel happy."

"Then let me tell you another piece of bad news." Shen Yunmei said: "Qi'e Music has sued us, and it's not a lawsuit, but 216 lawyer's letters on behalf of different musicians, asking us to publicly apologize. The music works were removed from the shelves to eliminate the impact, and they also required us to pay compensation of 300,000 yuan for each infringing work. My head is about to explode."

"When did it happen?" Gao Si frowned. This incident was completely beyond his expectation.

Shen Yunmei sighed again: "Just yesterday and today. There is no news out now. I guess Qi'e Group is planning some big move. I guess this matter will be a hot search soon."

"Isn't our music automatically composed by artificial intelligence? Can this also infringe other people's copyrights?" Gao Si was puzzled.

"I have consulted a lawyer about this matter. It is possible. There are so many permutations and combinations of the main melody of music, and it is normal to be familiar with it. In current music, the main song and chorus are just a short section. We create and create automatically. With such a large volume, it is very common for the melody to crash."

Gao Si couldn't help but frown. It seems that melody collision is indeed inevitable. He said: "If our automatically generated music collides with theirs in melody, is it an infringement? Don't lie to me because I don't read much. Why do I feel that there are so many similar songs? Woolen cloth?"

Shen Yunmei said: "We will definitely not be convicted of infringement, but the scale of this kind of thing is very flexible. Even if we are convicted of infringement, it is reasonable. Besides, even if we win or lose, it will affect our reputation. "

Seeing Gao Si's confusion, Shen Yunmei continued to explain: "The defendants in these 216 copyright lawsuits are not our platform, but our music copyright holders. Their purpose of doing this is to tell the world that artificial intelligence creation , it will easily infringe on existing music copyrights and cause trouble to our copyright holders."

Gao Si listened and was silent.

Seeing that Gao Si on the other end of the phone had lost his voice, Shen Yunmei urged: "Hey, you can help me make up my mind."

After a while, Gao Si laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

Gao Sidao: "Let me ask you, can you let artificial intelligence automatically identify the similarities between a certain piece of music and other pieces of music?"

Shen Yunmei thought for a while and said, "No problem."

"Then scan our music library and find all the songs with crashing melodies," Gao Si said.

Shen Yunmei didn't understand what Gao Si was going to do, so she asked: "What happens after you find it? Delete the music of the car crash?"

"Of course not." Gao Si said: "After finding these songs, we will add the authors of the original songs to our copyright sharing plan. We do not have the copyright of the original songs and do not provide online playback of the original songs, but we will, based on the playback volume, Commission paid for the original song.”

"This is too much of a loss. If it doesn't bring us traffic, why should we give them money? Why!"

"Of course it's a united front. The story Qi'e wants to tell is: 'I understand that your music doesn't respect copyright at all, and will drag users into copyright disputes.' And you want to tell another story, that is: 'We We respect the copyright of all musical works, and we will automatically protect them even if they are not signed with us.'"

"I understand, this way Qi'e's fist hits the cotton. Gao Si, I love you to death."

…

A few days later.

The copyright lawsuit that Shen Yunmei was worried about did not come. Those letters from lawyers who did not respond were ignored.

When you open the IKnowyou app, you can see that many works have been marked for similarity.

As long as the newly generated song is completely similar to the old song, it will be marked out and the royalties will be calculated. As long as the copyright owner becomes a registered user of the Just Know You app, you can collect the royalties in your real name.

On the Just Know You app, there are also some familiar and strange music copyright holders.

They are Liszt, Mendelssohn, Haydn, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Bach, Mozart, Xian Xinghai...

Gao Si noticed that hundreds of thousands of yuan in royalties have been accumulated in the name of Bach, the music copyright owner. However, no one may ever come to collect this money.
