The God of Technology Begins with the Principal of a Technical School

The data report shows that a total of 208 students at the school said that this happened.

He immediately called the teachers and leaders of the Academy of Fine Arts for a meeting.

"Look, what are we going to do next?"

Xu Li asked expressionlessly.

"Principal, I think this matter needs to be dealt with seriously. I have never heard of this company. It's really shameful for the works created by the students to be used as extortion for compensation by others!"

As the dean of the Academy of Fine Arts, Yang Xiuqin naturally scorned this behavior.

It's okay if you use these students' pictures as your personal computer and mobile phone screens, but if it involves commercial use, you need to obtain authorization from the original author, otherwise it will be an infringement, let alone such a bold request for compensation.

"I think what Dean Xiang said is very reasonable. This kind of behavior may affect students' creative enthusiasm."

An animation design teacher nodded.

"I remember when I was working as a freelance artist, I started a self-media business and drew some original paintings. I also encountered similar incidents, but I ignored them. Later, when I got tired of the harassment, I just blacklisted them.

Well, that company didn’t really file a lawsuit, it’s just a bit disgusting.”

"I'm the same way. I remember that I was very fascinated by the animation of the island country. I even drew a lot of animation-style original paintings. As a result, it was taken over by a disgusting company similar to Visual Oriental. I later filed a lawsuit and ended up with no compensation.

Just a few hundred dollars."

"I think we still need to ask the other party to remove the infringing works from the shelves. This is a better solution."

"Just make the other party take it off the shelf? I don't approve of this method. What if the other party sticks to it next time?"

People in the principal's office argued with each other.

Xu Li frowned when he heard this and patted the table. Everyone suddenly became quiet and looked at Xu Li.

After all, the final decision still lies with the principal, Xu Li.

"Okay, I have heard your opinions. I personally think this matter must be dealt with seriously. The students' works are created by the students themselves, and the copyright is inexplicably infringed by others. What's wrong with this?

Are you going to reason with me?"

"Although asking the other party to remove the infringing works is a solution, what do you think the students will think? This company will not learn a lesson."

"So, I decided to help students use legal weapons to defend their rights in the name of the school. Otherwise, it would just be like this. We are doing the job of teaching and educating people. In addition to teaching students knowledge, we must also teach them how to use it.

Legal weapons can be used to combat unfair and illegal phenomena in society and reduce the occurrence of such incidents."

"But principal, the works of more than two hundred people have been infringed. If we really sue, the legal costs will be high!"

A leader said worriedly.

"Legal costs? Is our school short of money now? If we can spend money to set an example for students, it is worth it! Okay, that's it, go back and you..."

at the same time

Some people posted their infringement stories on the Internet, which immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

"I'll go! How come this company hasn't gone out of business yet? It even touched a school?"

“We don’t even let go of students’ works, how shameless!”

"Visual Oriental? Haha, some of my photography works were included in their copyright library after they were uploaded online."

"I'm so speechless~ Is there no one in charge?"

"It's not like we haven't taken care of this before? I remember that this company was fined by relevant departments, but I didn't expect that it's still the same now..."

Obviously, the Internet has memory. Even if some records are deleted, the black material is still remembered by many netizens.

But they want to see how Suiren Academy will deal with it?

If you ignore it, you will be a little disappointed with this school.

After all, this school is not ordinary. If anyone is interested, they can find out that it is related to Suiren Technology.

However, some netizens also admire Visual Oriental for actually touching Suiren Technology. They are really brave~

Super brave!

Didn’t you know that Suiren Technology is a technological potential giant that has recently become famous at home and abroad?

The students also hope that the school will give a reasonable solution, otherwise the food in the cafeteria tonight will not taste good.

But the school did not disappoint them, and the announcement came out soon.

[According to the school's investigation information, a total of 208 students' works have been infringed, with a total of 520 works. The school will file a lawsuit with the local people's court within a week to defend the students' legal rights with legal weapons. The litigation fees and lawyers

The fees will be covered by the school's finances. Students who have been infringed can contact their professional teachers to keep the infringement records as evidence so that they can start the next work.]

As soon as the news came out, the school forums suddenly burst into joy.

"Holy crap! The school actually helped us with the lawsuit!"

“I wouldn’t believe it if it were applied to other universities!”

"That's right. If this happened to other schools, the most the school would do is ask the infringing party to remove the infringing works, and then go to court to sue? Don't be kidding!"

"Our principal is still reliable!"

"That's not what you said during exam week, bro~"

...

Xu Li also asked someone to hire a reliable law firm to handle this matter. After all, those who persist in their incorrigibility still need to be dealt with hard.

Although the quality of students' works varies, they all have their own characteristics. The fruits of their efforts cannot be denied just because of the flaws they fear most.

Now, helping them file this infringement lawsuit in court not only enhances the students' sense of honor and belonging to the school, but also indirectly educates them.

Never compromise when encountering unfair things, otherwise such things will become more and more common.

The school's announcement also attracted widespread support from netizens after it was posted online.

The boss of Visual Oriental was happily counting money at this time, looking at the recent financial statements with great satisfaction.

Visual Oriental’s own company also has its own library of copyrighted books, but that is hard-earned money and half of it is paid to the author.

So he thought of a different way, which was to start a "rights protection and income generation" on his own.

That is to make the copyrighted images of your own website your own, and then generate income in the name of "infringement".

To put it simply, it is an organized and large-scale search for various companies that have negligently used their images without authorization, and then ask for huge compensation with high prices.

Moreover, with the advancement of Internet technology, Visual Oriental uses web crawler technology to download images in batches and uses image recognition software to lock in target "customers" in batches.

In other words, as soon as you post a picture on the Internet and crawl into his gallery in a matter of minutes, it becomes his family.

The entire process does not require manual intervention, is fully automatic and low-cost.

But when it comes to this experience of “protecting rights and generating income”, I learned it from a master.

This master is Getty Image, the world’s largest photo giant.

The two companies have already cooperated. Although they have been sued many times and the compensation amount is large, Visual Oriental has also obtained huge "income generation" from the domestic market, and its partner Getty Image is the biggest beneficiary.
