"Black screen" reminder is a legitimate way to protect rights

In October 21, global anti-piracy day was officially launched. In the global scale, a huge wave of anti-piracy waves emerged, among which China is also in. This is a grand holiday for software practitioners around the world. The creed of commercial software is "Software
As a business ", there is no doubt that piracy must be opposed. However, in our country, there seems to be a sound that piracy is still "rational ". Why?

Software is an intellectual product that is easy to copy. It is not easy to sell money. Spending money on software is a manifestation of modern civilization,
Is the recognition of software value. At this stage, the root cause of piracy in China is that the public still lacks such awareness and ideas. Instead of being ashamed of piracy, the public is proud to be "poor. I think this year's Wenchuan earthquake relief,
The Olympic Games held in Beijing are a manifestation of China's entry into the World Family. We have joined the whole people in piracy ). However, in fact, we are not strong enough to combat piracy.

The "black screen" reminder of Microsoft is not specifically set for China, and is also true in other countries. The truth is actually very simple, you (Use
User) agree that I (Microsoft) will check if your software is pirated for you? If you agree to this check (also called verification), there are only two possible results: genuine and pirated. Of course, check errors, or
Is not found, it may happen. If the result is genuine (a legally authorized version), Microsoft promises you (rewards) to continue providing quality services for you. If the result is pirated (non-genuine
Right version), so what should Microsoft say to you? Microsoft said: "Hi, old friend (dude), you are using piracy !" This greeting is repeated every day when you start the system. Is it annoying? Honestly, from the moment you agree to check (verify), you have made a friend with Microsoft, that is, you agree to abide by EULA
"End User License Agreement "). Now, the problem is that Microsoft turned this greeting (apparently a kindly Reminder) into an agreement that will be explained first: regular black screen (black desktop background ).
. We note that this is an agreement between you (user) and Microsoft (contract, contract). Third parties do not have to intervene (or have no right to interfere ). As for whether the "black screen" reminder is good or not, Microsoft should follow (carefully watching
Measure) the response of the majority of users. Black screen does not work, that is, it can be changed to a yellow screen, but reminders are required. Therefore, we should think that the "black screen" reminder of Microsoft is justified and may be defective.

So what does improper rights protection mean? To combat piracy, if Microsoft uses a very advanced "scanning" technology,
If you find any pirated users, you will be given a "black screen penalty" (reminder is not a penalty), which means improper rights protection. In the face of hateful versions, Microsoft uses the "black screen" reminder, the heart is indeed too soft. As many Chinese people as in Beijing
"Crowded people" in the railway carriage, Microsoft is afraid to offend this group of people. To be honest, Microsoft's "black screen" reminds us that it has not touched the vast majority of Chinese piracy groups, and we cannot afford to be cheap or sell well.

At present, some people use the opportunity (black screen events) to make major commercial advertisements, such as "Fast conversion to domestic software ". This is obviously incorrect.
(Not fair ). What about Chinese products (software )? Is Microsoft a leader in China's software industry? This is a basic understanding. If this is not the case, the software industry in China will never be awkward.
Software cannot develop, and free software cannot start. Here, let me tell you the truth. Our software bosses tend to be more selfish than Microsoft bosses. Microsoft
The scale is too big to be stupid (just a glance). We are not as smart as we are. However, small smart enterprises cannot do big enterprises. I'm not pleased with both sides, Windows is bothering me (I prefer UBUNTU), Linux scold me (I say something nice about Microsoft ). I don't know why I got angry with this splint. The day after tomorrow, UBUNTU
8.10 is about to be officially released. Today, I would like to say a "black screen" reminder. It's really too busy.

(Note: I have to wait for Ubuntu
After the release of 8.10 (the afternoon of December 31, November 1, Beijing time), the company flew to Shanghai on December 31, November 2 .)
