Chapter 1211 Safe Harbor Clause
"Mr. Hayden, it's me, Rashida Jones... Yes, I'm downstairs, downstairs of the hotel!"
During the World Cup, the good hotel was full, and Rashida was not panicked and called immediately after being blocked by the hotel guards in the lobby.
"Well……"
Hayden scratched his head and came down to pick someone up. He looked at her vigilantly and asked, "Did you come alone?"
"yes."
“Is there anything important?”
"I heard some important news about the New York rap circle and needed to tell him in person." Rashida was prepared for a long time.
"Okay, wear this."
Hayden put a visitor's card lanyard on her head without saying a word, "Come with me and say that I'm from VIBE magazine."
"Oh." She agreed with grievance and followed Hayden into the elevator obediently.
The APLUS agent led the way unobstructed. After leaving the elevator on the top floor, Rashida was soon led into Song Ya's presidential suite. As soon as he entered the door, he heard music and Spanish singing. Shakira was holding a guitar on the sofa beside the window and sang. Gloria and Estefin were sitting next to him and listening quietly. There were also some South American musicians around the three of them, holding wine in their hands, sitting or standing.
Shakira noticed her and slowed down her hands tugging on the strings.
"Hi!"
When the rivals met... I didn't know if she counted it, she squeezed out a smile and raised her hand to say hello.
"Rashida! Long time no see, how are your father okay?"
Everyone knows Quincy Jones' daughter, Estefin takes the initiative to come forward and hug, "Why are you in France?"
"I'll help VIBE magazine for an interview..." She said as she said that, her nose felt sore.
"Ha, thank you, haven't you studied at Harvard? Is it on holiday?"
"Um."
"APLUS is inside, I don't know it's inconvenient to him..." Estefin pointed to a closed door, and Hayden just slipped in, "Please sit."
"Okay, thank you." She had no choice but to sit down and wait, and talk to Gloria, Estefin and his wife.
She had no communication with Shakira. Shakira should be preparing for a new special, all of which were new Spanish songs. She wore jeans and loose T-shirts and changed her lyrics while singing. Estephin, Gloria and those South American musicians made suggestions from time to time. The stars were like the moon, and they all used the verbal language.
"Are APLUS already completely Latin in the shape of a person?" She complained in her heart, secretly unhappy.
"Miss Jones, please come in."
Finally, Hayden came out, and she immediately got up and followed her into the room.
"This safe haven clause is the main battlefield for both sides, right?"
It was a small space like a temporary office. APLUS was sitting at the bottom, studying documents with a group of elite white men. He frowned and was very focused, as if he didn't notice that he came in.
Rashida just happened to take this tone, staring at the man's face greedily, and by the way, she observed the respectful expressions of other white elites.
"Yes, the film industry, the record industry, Hollywood, the publishing industry and even the software industry all want to remove this one, at least weaken this one, and the Internet industry's demands are just the opposite..."
A white elite replied. As he spoke, he found that there was an extra guest in the room. He kept his mouth shut and looked over.
“Hi, APLUS.”
She raised her eyebrows to meet the man's gaze. She had ever had a skin-friendly relationship and glared at the spot with confidence.
"Rashida, welcome!"
Song Ya was very enthusiastic but she was a little unfamiliar with her. Hey, "Hayden said you have new news about the New York rap circle?"
"Uh..." She looked at the other people in the room in embarrassment.
"It's okay, there are all lawyers here..." Song Ya smiled and signaled, "except Hayden."
"Hehe..." Hayden smiled.
So cruel! She had to sit down at the chair that a lawyer gave up and told her everything about the news she revealed.
"Oh, I know this."
The president of Metropolitan Records has sued that, generally speaking, with the decline of West Coast bandit rap, in 1998, almost all the big beefs in the circle were born on the East Coast, to be precise, New York.
After Jazzy turned against NAS, his main opponents were Sony Columbia Records' NAS and BGOD. At the same time, because bragging dad is not a top rapper after all, bad boy record is not strong enough except for Biggie's commemorative albums. Jazzy gradually no longer wants to sell bragging dad's account. His reason is that he was indeed Biggie's younger brother before, and Biggie was bragging dad's younger brother, but now Biggie is dead, he does not have the obligation to continue to be loyal to the bragging dad.
Foxy Brown is fighting with her former classmate and good sister Liljin. Because Liljin is famous for her lover during her lifetime, she switched to Big Beat, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. She is backed by a large company and claims to be Queen B, which means Biggie's queen, and continues to consume people. This move annoyed Biggie's real wife, Fez Evans. Because Fez Evans is signed under the bad boy record that bragged about her father, Bad Boy Records and Fez Evans are currently allies of Foxy Brown.
Foxy Brow gradually became distant from Jazzy.
The new hip-hop billionaire brags about his daddy has a high status and rich resources, but his power to replace him has also increased. In addition to the Wudang Gang who snatched the microphone at the Grammy, Jazzy, and Irv Gauti, who once got involved in the Blade Warrior project.
Gotti created his own Murder Records brand under Def Jam earlier this year. You can tell that it is impossible to live a honest life by listening to the name of the company. Gotti took away powerful singers Jaruer and Ashanti from Def Jam, and his power has increased greatly and it is also considered a mountain. So he began to be with his bragging father.
At the same time, the relationship between Gotty and Jazzy was very good. Maybe the enemy's enemy was a friend. The two did not remember Jazzy's revenge for the Blade Warrior Project back then. They maintained a tacit understanding in confronting the bragging father, and never touched their respective enemies. They performed one code and one code well.
Irv Gotti has another enemy, Def Jam's singer DMX. Because Gotti believes that he has a good favor to DMX, DMX regrets not working with him to murder record and start a career, the two of them turned against each other.
In short, this wave of New York's chaos has almost nothing to do with the company's struggle. It is mainly composed of singers and the neighborhood they belong to. Even singers under the same label may have a bad relationship with each other. Joining forces with allies from other companies to deal with their own people, except for the honest man LL Cool J, almost all of them participated in it.
"That……"
Rashida guessed that he knew it, but this was an excuse for him to come here, not surprisingly.
"Don't worry about these messy things, the New York hip-hop circle is in a turbulent period now, so let's talk about it when the situation stabilizes."
Song Ya waved her hand indifferently. Beef attracted attention. The record industry that made the most fuss, sold the best. It was positively related. Apart from warning Jazzy not to make too much trouble with NAS, he didn't care about anything else. He didn't have the energy, and he had already surpassed him.
"Okay." Rashida pouted.
"Hayden, take Rashida to the party to have fun at night." Song Ya hinted to see him off.
“A party in fashion circle?”
Rashida refused to be sent away so easily.
"Haha." When she asked this, Song Ya and Hayden laughed, "No, the sports circle, to be precise, the football circle, the French fashion circle is a bit deliberately ignoring me."
After signing with Gucci, the French's sarcasm disappeared, but the fashion circle did not turn to accept it at 180 degrees. Although Song Ya is in France, the two sides have little interaction.
"Will you go?"
"I don't have time." Song Ya pointed to the document in her hand, "It's okay, I will let Hayden take you to have fun in France."
"oh."
Her tears almost flowed down her face, "I can't book a room in this hotel..."
“Hayden.”
Song Ya waved his hand to let Hayden handle it, and then continued to analyze the documents with his lawyers. Generally speaking, the key laws of the previous year's bill on Ameriga Music websites were all in a law called the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Liability Law, which would provide OSPs, that is, online service providers, such as Ameriga Music websites with a safe haven clause that exempts tort liability.
"When the proof documents provided by the copyright holder meet the legal requirements, the OSP still does not take measures to delete the information or prevent others from accessing again. Only then does the OSP need to bear tort liability... In other words, as long as we delete the infringing content in time afterwards, we can be included in the scope of disclaimer in the safe haven, right?"
Song Ya didn't notice the sound of Rashida's closing door after stepping and complaining about the sound of leaving sadly, and picked out the specific clauses and asked.
"Yes, so this is very important. The Internet industry must include it in the Digital Millennium Act anyway, otherwise it will be accused of death."
PGE lawyer nodded, "Internet actors mostly appear as anonymous or untrue identities. When copyright owners cannot find the real infringer, they often turn to the OSP who provides the Internet services as the object of compensation, because their identities are certain and easy to find, such as Universal Records... Uh, it is called Universal Music now, suing Ameriga Music Website."
"Then there is another one below. When the OSP receives a subpoena, it must provide the infringing user's identity information to the case-handling agency..."
Song Ya continued to ask for advice.
"This is fine. Just provide what we know, such as the user's account and login IP, and there will be no big controversy." The lawyer explained.
“So…we have a lot of room for operation?”
Song Ya repeatedly studied, "The proof documents provided by the copyright owner meet the legal requirements... that is, the copyright owner must produce conclusive evidence of infringement. This is a very tedious task. Then they are busy with their work. Our responsibility is only to delete some data uploaded by users at the request, right?"
"Yes, so this article is very important to the Internet industry. A large number of early work was dumped on the copyright owner, while the Internet users are massive, and their behavior is unpredictable. What is the actual effect in the end... I think you can imagine it."
"Ha ha!"
If you prove that it is indeed infringed, I will click the mouse to delete it. However, it is very troublesome to not mention proving infringement. I deleted and posted anonymous users on the Internet. After sending it, I asked for proof to delete it again. It can exhaust you to death. Song Ya was happy after thinking about it, "Isn't it a bit like beating a gopher?"
"A very accurate metaphor." The lawyer complimented.
At the same time, Montreal, Canada.
"What's the problem with me taking Deutsche Bank's money?"
Bronfman, who came back to see his father, shouted excitedly in his study, "They are not the founder of Jews who drove away the Jews during World War II. They have done evil to the Jews. The New German Bank after the war has nothing to do with the old grudges in history! And when the two Germans were unified, the Merrill Lynch Gang intervened. There are two places in the seven-member committee of Deutsche Bank belong to the American financial industry! Adiechen Mitchell of the Merrill Lynch Gang is now the president of their global financial department. There are many Jews among the fifty Merrill Lynch Gang members. Business is business, and they are even allowed to acquire Morgan Jianfu! Then what is my borrowing some money!?"
"Others can do it, but the Bronfman family can't do it!"
Bronfmann, the old man, was angry and rebelled. "Deutsche Bank and UBS have a close relationship. Do you understand the relationship? I am the chairman of the Global Jewish Congress and are taking everyone to pursue the Swiss..."
"You are busy with your business, I run my Sigram Universal, we agreed before."
Bronfman Jr. interrupted unhappily, "One side is boring and so-called good reputation, and the other side is a business worth hundreds of billions of dollars. What's the point of making a decision?"
Old Bronfman closed his eyes in pain. He knew that he had to use some strategies now, even if he was his favorite and trusted son in front of him. "OK, we won't talk about this. Are you planning to list Seagram Global as a whole next year, right?"
"Yes, Merrill Lynch and I have both agreed."
When Bronfman mentioned this little Bronfman, his eyes shone, "Father, we will become superstars on the New York Stock Exchange next year, waiting to be optimistic, 50 billion, I think Seagram Global is worth this price."
"OK, very good, so what about the IPO risk? What do you think is the biggest potential risk at the moment?" The old man took the exam.
"The Digital Millennium Act, the Internet industry wants to stuff in a break haven clause, I am leading the record industry and Hollywood snipers," Bronfman Jr. replied.
"What if the sniper fails?"
“I won’t fail.”
"Okay OK, what about other details that are not good for IPO? Why didn't you listen to me to coax your super money printing machine..."
"who?"
"That black star who doesn't publish a specialist..."
"Don't always blame me for those little things!"
