Is Chapter 236 really copyrighted?
"What? Lawyer's letter? Is it necessary?"
Zhang Jun thought, who the hell can he scare? They are not fools.
Not to mention Luo Yutao, even he didn't believe it.
Yang Xiao saw Zhang Jun's expression and knew that the latter probably didn't believe the truth of his words, so he didn't intend to explain too much:
"If you tell him that he will immediately remove it from the shelves before tomorrow, I can let this matter go. Otherwise, just wait and see."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell him about this right away."
Although Zhang Jun didn't take it seriously, seeing that Yang Xiao was so serious, he had to agree immediately.
After all, these lyrics are indeed original works of Yang Xiao.
And it was he who spread the news, being such a big mouth, so it can be said that the bad thing was also his fault.
Zhang Jun couldn't help but complain in his heart at this moment.
Fuck your grandma, this Luo Yutao is so shameless. How can he have the nerve to claim that his work is original on a music platform?
Zhang Jun has now become disenchanted with the so-called seniors in the club.
Ever since Yang Xiao mocked him last time, he no longer rushed to curry favor with him.
After all, although what Yang Xiao said broke his defense, it was not wrong!
It's useless to try to curry favor with others!
He even asked Guan Songlong a question in private.
"Lao Guan, do you think it's really stupid for me to hang out with the seniors in the club?"
"It's not stupid for everyone to play together, but it's stupid for you to pay the bill every time."
Although when he first entered the school, he mainly wanted to show off his extensive network and social skills in front of others, and to highlight his desire to show off.
There is nothing wrong with his starting point.
But after more operations, I still became a fool and a sucker in the eyes of others.
Seeing Luo Yutao walking down the stage in high spirits, Zhang Jun hurried over, wanting to ask for an explanation on behalf of Yang Xiao and find out everything.
Yang Xiao watched Zhang Jun's back as he hurriedly ran away and just shook his head helplessly.
To be honest, he didn't expect Zhang Jun to get justice for him.
Didn't even have that expectation.
Because if Luo Yutao cared about his feelings, things wouldn't be like this now, where Zhang Jun is in such an embarrassed situation in front of Yang Xiao that he can't save himself.
To put it bluntly, Zhang Jun has no face in the eyes of others.
However, Zhang Jun's proactive attitude towards solving problems still satisfied him.
You know, during the four years of college, the people you are closest to are actually the people you live with in the same dormitory.
He doesn't force everyone to be united from the beginning, but he doesn't turn his elbows outward either!
This Zhang Jun is not a bad guy, we can still get along with him!
The most hateful one is Luo Yutao.
Even Yang Xiao couldn't remember all the lyrics of this half of the song "Don't Blame Her".
What he hummed at that time was only part of the Chinese lyrics.
There are also most of the English ones, which are also quite classic.
But even these Chinese lyrics were plagiarized by Luo Yutao!
The key is, the version he made sounds much uglier than the original!
Yang Xiao was so angry!
He doesn't remember many of the rapper's songs, just a few.
But even if he can't remember the entire song, he can always hand it over to a professional rapper to co-produce it in the future.
Even if worst comes to worst, he could just give it to the original author Masiwei. He could still leave his name as the lyricist and keep a good work.
Now it is used by scumbags like Luo Yutao to create secondary works.
Although he added some English rap, such a simple and crude adaptation, in Yang Xiao's eyes, completely changed the song into a completely weird and unfashionable song!
The name is also so tacky, something like "Be Yourself".
To be honest, every rapper wants to hit someone after hearing this!
I guess they wouldn't bother to give such a rustic name!
However, the most crucial and intolerable thing for Yang Xiao was that this person actually blatantly violated his personal rights.
They clearly knew that it was his work, but they plagiarized it without his permission and shamelessly labeled it as original.
You really just don't believe it, right?
Bullying freshmen like this?
the other side.
Zhang Jun stopped Luo Yutao in the corridor of the stairs, blocking the latter's way.
He originally wanted to use a questioning tone, but then he felt that it was a bit rash, so he involuntarily put on a flattering expression and asked:
"Brother Tao, you sang that one really well!"
"Haha, it's okay~ We haven't had a party together for a long time, shall we get together later?"
Luo Yutao seemed to see what he was thinking, and he smiled and changed the subject, adding, "It's my treat."
Zhang Jun didn't expect to be invited by him suddenly, and was a little flattered: "Uh, maybe next time."
"Okay, let's talk about it later. I'm leaving now."
Luo Yutao was a little surprised to hear this answer. He did not expect Zhang Jun to refuse directly. However, he did not care. He patted the latter's shoulder in a friendly manner and prepared to leave past him.
Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that the main purpose of his visit was not to greet him, so he quickly said:
"No, Brother Tao, why did you use my roommate's lyrics? My roommate asked me to ask you what's going on."
When Luo Yutao heard this, a look of contempt appeared on his face, and he said with a half-smile: "Ah? Your roommate's? No way."
"???"
Hearing what he said, Zhang Jun was shocked.
Is this senior Luo Yutao just pretending to be stupid?
Zhang Jun could tell his intention from his expression, so he quickly conveyed Yang Xiao's words:
"Brother Tao, there's no point in talking about this. Let me be frank. My roommate said he has the copyright and asked you to remove it from the internet by tomorrow, otherwise he will send you a lawyer's letter."
"Haha, copyright? Lawyer's letter? If he says it's true, then it's true? Do you believe it?"
Luo Yutao snorted, nonchalantly, obviously admitting the fact of using the lyrics.
"Your roommate also copied someone else's lyrics from some online forum, right? And he claimed they were his? Stop being ridiculous."
Zhang Jun was choked by Luo Yutao's words and found it difficult to refute.
On the contrary, he was somewhat certain in his heart that what Luo Yutao said might be closer to the truth.
Yes, in fact, he didn’t believe what Yang Xiao said.
Things like copyright lawyer's letters are too abstract.
Is this a tactic their students can afford to play?
But the way things turned out put him in a position where he was somewhat caught in the middle and felt torn between two options.
But now he just needs to convey the message and show his attitude towards handling things.
"Ah just."
Zhang Jun wanted to explain himself at this time, but was interrupted again by Luo Yutao.
"How about this, Zhang Jun, send me your roommate's QQ number later and I'll go talk to him. As long as he's willing to discuss it with me, I'll add him as the lyricist. But I'll be frank, his name has to come after mine, after all, my self-composed English passage is the essence."
English is the essence?
Essence your mom!
You keep singing yo, yo, yo. Who the hell can hear what you are singing in English?
"Ah? Well, that's fine. I'll help you convey it later."
After Zhang Jun complained in his heart, he was still very conflicted, and even his temper seemed particularly twisted.
He was a man who couldn't be tough, so he had to give up.
But he felt that he had tried his best.
And from what Senior Luo Yutao said, it seemed like he was planning to discuss it with him?
Should we be able to negotiate a good result?
After all, the plan proposed by Luo Yutao was not bad. It would give Yang Xiao the title of lyricist for free, and he could also brag about it.
Why not just go back and persuade Yang Xiao so that everyone can keep the peace?
As soon as Luo Yutao finished speaking, he saw that Zhang Jun had nothing to say, so he stopped talking to him and turned around and left.
This time, Zhang Jun didn't try to persuade him to stay, but just walked back to his seat with a look of disappointment.
He looked at Yang Xiao, opened his mouth, and for a moment didn't know how to start.
Especially facing the faint smile on Yang Xiao's face at this moment, he was even more embarrassed to say it.
To use a phrase that is very popular on the Internet today.
The smile that Yang Xiao gave him was three parts of ridicule, three parts of coldness, three parts of indifference, and one part of indifference.
Looking at this situation, the "happy ending" that I just imagined doesn't seem to be feasible.
Yes.
This stupid senior took other people’s lyrics without even asking, and now he’s acting like he’s giving alms. What the hell gives him the right?
Zhang Jun felt more and more ashamed at this time.
I have a soft-hearted personality, but Yang Xiao is not.
Thinking about his empty-handed return this time, he was too embarrassed to speak.
Yang Xiao didn't ask any questions and just waited quietly for him to speak.
Zhang Jun felt a little numb on his scalp under such a gaze.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "Brother Xiao, that senior Luo Yutao said he wants to add you on QQ and talk to you in detail."
Yang Xiao had expected this and said calmly, "No need to add QQ. Someone will talk to him. I hope he won't regret it then."
"Uh, Brother Xiao, there's no need for that. You two can just talk it out. He said he'll give you the title of lyricist."
"Fuck him! Do you know how much my name is worth in business? Is he worthy of touching my porcelain?"
Yang Xiao got even angrier when he heard this.
Yang Xiao felt embarrassed to add his name to his.
Yang Xiao waved his hand unhappily, not wanting to explain any more.
Zhang Jun said apologetically, "Brother Xiao, let me treat you to a meal. This matter is indeed my fault."
"It's okay, I don't blame you."
"No, this matter has turned out to be such a mess, it's my fault, I'll treat you to a meal so I can feel at ease."
Hearing that Yang Xiao was unwilling to accept, Zhang Jun felt even more guilty and insisted on treating them.
Yang Xiao could also hear his sincerity, thought for a moment, and said:
"Okay, if you want to apologize for this, then just invite a few people from our dormitory together."
"Okay, let's go together. What do you want to eat?"
"Compare to the most expensive food in the cafeteria!"
"Brother Xiao is awesome! Brother Jun is awesome!"
Guan Songlong and Mu Xingwen, who were standing by, cheered when they heard that there was another free meal.
Zhang Jun didn't care about treating others to a meal, because no matter how expensive the dishes in the cafeteria were, two hundred yuan was the maximum cost for four people.
It just so happened that he received his living expenses at the beginning of the month, and his pockets were bulging.
The most important thing is that he didn't want to create a rift between him and Yang Xiao because of this.
Because he didn't know why, he always felt that Yang Xiao was very charming. No matter what he said or did, he had his own unique way of doing things.
Zhang Jun sometimes wondered why Yang Xiao, who was also rich, didn’t need to join clubs or the student union to prove himself?
In other words, if Yang Xiao was in the club, no one would dare to treat him as a sucker, right?
After the performance of the evening party, Luo Yutao received Yang Xiao’s QQ number.
However, when he added it, the other party still disagreed.
He added it twice and asked Zhang Jun to check it again, but by the end of the two-day weekend, Yang Xiao still hadn't passed.
Luo Yutao was naturally happy to see this.
"Haha, you're so arrogant, but you still don't approve it? You're really shameless."
He didn't take the matter seriously and soon put it out of his mind.
As for the "lawyer's letter" that Zhang Jun conveyed to him, he didn't take it seriously.
What if he was scaring a three-year-old kid?
During the weekends, apart from the activities in the club, he spent the rest of his time in the dormitory, concerned about the gradually increasing number of views on major music platforms.
Although the growth rate is only a few hundred per day.
Moreover, most of the data came from his self-promotional posts on the school forum, where alumni came to support him out of curiosity.
But this was enough to satisfy his vanity.
This work, which he "created" with all his painstaking efforts, even made him feel that he was very talented.
Although the applause at the welcome party that day was not enthusiastic and the response was mediocre.
But afterwards, several girls still added him on QQ and expressed their recognition and admiration for him.
It was noon on Monday.
After class, he returned to the dormitory from the cafeteria.
I couldn't wait to open my laptop to see if his songs were gaining popularity on the music platform.
At this time, the QQ message ringtone rang.
A small window popped up from the lower right corner.
[Senior, I hope you can create new works, come on~]
[Okay, Chen Xuemei~stay tuned. ]
Luo Yutao raised the corner of his mouth and replied perfunctorily.
This junior schoolmate was one of the girls who added him a few days ago.
However, he glanced at the other person's QQ space and saw the photo. He looked very ordinary, which made him lose interest immediately.
But this kind of emotional feedback still makes him feel like he's floating on air.
Because as long as he wanted, Luo Yutao felt that he could take down one of them at any time.
Cough
At this time, a small window popped up in the lower right corner of the computer screen.
There is a new email in QQ mailbox.
[Sender: Shiguang Culture Media Co., Ltd.]
【Subject: Hello, your work "Be Yourself".】
Because the information in the pop-up window was incomplete, Luo Yutao's first reaction when he saw the name of the company was surprise, and then a feeling of excitement suddenly spread over him.
This is?
Are you looking for me to cooperate?
He was not unfamiliar with the company Shiguang Culture Media.
Because not long ago, he heard about the investment in the president of the literature society, Li Zhuofan!
Luo Yutao and Li Zhuofan have met several times and even have each other's QQ numbers.
It would be a lie to say that I am not envious of having a relationship with the famous boss “Shi Guang”!
Could it be that my reputation as a musical genius has also been known by Mr. Time?
Maybe it was because the video post about the welcome party was popular recently that made him notice me?
There has been a rumor before.
I heard that Mr. Shiguang is an alumnus of our school, which is also the reason for investing in Li Zhuofan.
Now it seems that this rumor is probably true!
The overwhelming wealth is coming!
Luo Yutao happily opened the email, but after a few seconds, he looked at the content with an expression of disbelief and sat in his seat in a daze.
[Hello, some of the lyrics in your work "Be Yourself" involve plagiarism of our company's registered copyright rights. Please remove it as soon as possible within 24 hours.]
Following is the accompanying proof of copyright registration information.
And demand that he publicly apologize on social media, otherwise they will take legal action to protect their rights.
No, what's going on?
Does this lyrics really involve copyright?
But how is it related to Shiguang Culture Media Company?
Oh shit.
He now understood that Zhang Jun's roommate was just as he expected. He must have plagiarized the unpublished lyrics of Shi Guang Lao by chance somewhere.
Now he's in big trouble!
He quickly checked the mailbox where the letter came from.
After checking, it turned out to be true!
Grass!
Just delete it!
After checking, Luo Yutao did not dare to be careless and planned to take advantage of this time to quickly remove the video from the platform.
Otherwise, if you really receive a court summons, you will become a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
As for apologizing, what does it have to do with me?
dong dong dong.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who?"
When Luo Yutao was distracted, one of his roommates responded and hurried to open the door.
"Counselor Wang? Are you here to make rounds in the middle of the day?"
Several people in the dormitory immediately stood up to greet him, and even Luo Yutao greeted him.
"No, I came here specifically to see you."
Counselor Wang raised an envelope in his hand and looked at him seriously: "You are in trouble!"
The other people in the dormitory looked at Luo Yutao in confusion, their eyes full of curiosity.
Luo Yutao's heart was pounding nervously, and he asked, "What's wrong, counselor?"
Counselor Wang was about thirty years old. He frowned and asked:
"Xiao Luo, what did you do? How come a song is plagiarized from someone else? Now, a company called Shiguang Culture has sent a formal letter to our school, asking our school's official forum to immediately delete the video of this year's freshman welcome party. They specifically named a student named Luo Yutao in our school, saying that he had violated the rights of their company. Look, there is also an official seal."
"What? An official letter to the school?"
Counselor Wang was actually a little speechless.
Damn, isn’t it just deleting a video?
It's such a small matter, can't you just make a phone call and let the administrative staff in charge of this matter at your Shiguang Culture Media Company know?
The official website has a landline phone number, it’s not like it’s impossible to get through!
They even sent a formal letter for this matter. Who are you trying to scare?
But this matter can be made big or small with the official letter.
After all, it is a university, and the academic style and discipline of teachers and students, as well as their every word and action, will be watched by people from all walks of life.
If this Time Culture Media Company was a small shell company, they would ignore it.
I even thought they were here to commit fraud.
But today, after their school's administrative department received the official letter, they found out after checking it online.
Hey, this company is not a scam company that is trying to take advantage of you.
They are quite big!
And it's a media company, which is even more difficult to offend.
If the plagiarism is really confirmed, they would be in the wrong.
What?
Shenzhen University is just educating students who like to plagiarize and have bad moral conduct?
If the other party exaggerates the matter and it is magnified by the outside world, the reputation of their school will be affected.
This student must be punished.
Therefore, the leaders of the Administrative Office of Shenzhen University quickly notified Luo Yutao and his class teacher and counselor of the matter.
It must be dealt with as soon as possible!
That's why counselor Wang came to the door specifically to knock on the door.
Of course, this is from the perspective of their school teachers and counselors.
Counselor Wang's behavior of coming to see Luo Yutao was actually more than just a warning.
More importantly, it is to protect this student.
I hope he doesn't go astray.
"Counselor Wang, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Then tell me, did you copy other people's lyrics?"
"not me."
Counselor Wang didn't want to hear his long-winded words, so he said bluntly: "Just tell me whether you copied it or not. I just want to hear the answer."
"I copied it, but I didn't know the lyrics belonged to their company. I got them from a junior student."
Facing the counselor's questioning gaze, Luo Yutao no longer had the confidence to refute.
"Then why do you say you are the original creator? You are such a grown-up, do you know what copyright is?"
Counselor Wang shook his head with regret, thinking that this student was too stupid.
So he habitually exaggerated the seriousness of the matter in front of his students:
"Forget it, I won't say much. I don't think other companies want to make a big deal out of this. You should quickly resolve this matter. Otherwise, if it gets out of hand, it might even affect your graduation."
"okay, I get it."
Luo Yutao gritted his teeth and agreed.
He didn't dare to tell others that he had received the email from the other party.
Otherwise, Counselor Wang would be even more worried about him!
After sending the counselor out of the dormitory, several people in the dormitory immediately asked him questions.
They also heard something.
Damn Luo Yutao, he’s in big trouble!
And his songs seem to be plagiarized!
One of his roommates didn't get along with him and was often disturbed by his "singing" in the dormitory. He had been dissatisfied with him for a long time.
He had just heard half of it when he spread the news.
The mobile phone edited a post on Tieba.
[Shocking, music talent Luo Yutao is caught up in a lawsuit, his famous work "Be Yourself" was accused of plagiarism! ]
Well, they are all majoring in journalism.
