Where does the thunder model go?

Today is the Seventh World Intellectual Property Day. This newspaper reported yesterday that the Google investment download portal, Thunder, will be sued by the movie network, which focuses on the download of genuine movies. In this regard, Xunlei said yesterday that the litigation actions of individual enterprises are hypes, and said that the "Copyright Claim" activity aimed at promoting the healthy development of the Internet genuine business will be held in the Great Hall of the People on April 27, sign the terms of cooperation with the copyright authority to return 50% of the total income of the copyright content, excluding the operation cost, to the copyright authority.

The profit model of thunder is to attract user traffic for advertisement distribution of goolge and Other plug-ins by means of aggregate download content. For the sake of traffic, as stated in the disclaimer on the thunder homepage, thunder does not care whether the content downloaded is pornographic or pirated. In an interview with daily economic news, Xie Wen, a network critic, believes that P2P piracy is no different from other piracy. Tao Xinliang, Dean of the School of intellectual property rights of Shanghai University, made it clear that thunder should bear the corresponding tort liability.

So how much space does the profit model like thunder have to survive?

Miss he: no more protection

Thunder was born from pornography and piracy. If Thunder does not have a lot of pornographic or pirated information, can it grow to today's scale?

Hao Binbin: drinking and quenching thirst

To operate any business model in the market, you must keep the bottom line of morality and law. Even if you use all sorts of temptations, even if the technology is good, you can get short-term benefits, but eventually it is difficult to escape the result of elimination by the market, Thunder's approach is no different than drinking water to quench your thirst. A company is not only responsible for its direct consequences, but also for its indirect consequences. Thunder cannot shirk its responsibility.

Huang Jing: the market will surely be lost

Although thunder claims that it is only a technical tool and does not provide content, it is not a direct infringer, but experts also make it clear that thunder's behavior may constitute indirect or joint infringement. Moreover, Thunder is still a "resistance" who refuses to correct the infringement action. If Thunder keeps holding this attitude, it will surely lose support and market.

Miss GaN: do not indulge in thunder

Thunder is indeed powerful, but it is based on pornography and piracy. If not because of this development model, May Thunder be powerful? Although many people will support the thunder model, after all, they can get benefits and convenience, but for the whole society, they do not respect intellectual property rights and ultimately suffer from consumers, is there a future for a nation that loses the power of innovation? We cannot indulge in such rampant piracy.

◆ Boiling Point special draft

Lin Yongquan: It's ridiculous

Those who have been pirated have been beaten by street mouse. However, just after Yahoo was sentenced by Beijing and France to compensate 11 major international record companies for RMB 0.21 million and deleted the links to the songs involved, thunder, which has not yet escaped the porn trap, will host the so-called "Copyright Claim" public welfare activity in the Great Hall of the People on the Seventh World Intellectual Property Day, he also advocates that this is to promote the development of the global Internet genuine business.

I think thunder is a ridiculous move for four reasons.

First, we think the good is right. Thunder's technical capabilities and advantages have long been recognized by the number of clicks on the Internet. However, although the treasure knife is good, it must be given to a hero. If it is taken by a zombie, isn't it a bad thing? One of the technical features of thunder is that it can aggregate resources on the network with high efficiency, which is very good, but it seems that it aggregates a lot of pirated resources, the impact on the genuine industry can be imagined.

Second, if a thief left a note after being ransomed in the room, "Hi, Buddy, I will first borrow the money to operate your house. I will give you half of the profit, okay ?" Which owner is willing?

Third, because the "disclaimers" are suspended, it's okay. Today, corporate social responsibility is becoming more and more important, and some disclaimers with chaotic logic are extremely pale and ridiculous. Do one thing according to the logic of thunder. Whether it is right or wrong, as long as a disclaimer is issued before it is done, all the consequences related to it afterwards will be irrelevant. It is a typical contradiction between saying that you have always supported the legitimate business and evading responsibility for the infringement that you may cause.

Fourth, knowing it is illegal, and knowing what is wrong. Ten or two years later, if thunder says he does not understand copyright laws and regulations, he is still excited, thunder is still insisting that it is ridiculous to say that he is a company responsible for copyright in the statement.

It's ridiculous, but we can never laugh at it. conniving at piracy is to hurt copyright owners more than twice, and choose between intellectual property protection and excellent pirated technology.
