"Do you care? If MJ owns the copyright of our songs."

After deciding to continue to take a break for one season, Mariah Carey was naturally very happy. The two had more time to stay together. In New York in the early morning, Song Ya hugged her and muttered: "I'm fine, only half of the copyright belongs to Sony Music Copyright Company, all your songs are there."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, that part of the copyright is either a or b. They sell it all the time..."

Mariah Carey gets up and walks into the bathroom, “Do you want to interfere with it?”

"Maybe we can put pressure on Sony to isolate that part of our copyright from both parties' transactions."

Song Ya was still a little resistant to the ownership of his songs by MJ, especially after the collapse of the conversation with Elizabeth Taylor. The copyright of music works is roughly divided into three parts. One is the copyright of lyrics and music works, that is, copyright, which belongs to the lyrics and music creators themselves. For example, the copyright of lyrics and music created by Song Ya is completely owned and is not within the scope of the copyright of half the share with the distribution company.

The second is the copyright of the recording work, which belongs to the music company that produces and distributes the record. In the industry, the production company and the distribution company are generally half the share, and the management rights of the song belong to the distribution company. Song Ya's songs are in this case. His A+ record and Sony Columbia record each account for 50% of all records. Sony Columbia Records then reverts the copyright of all other songs except the book to Sony Music Columbia Company, and the management rights are also in Sony Music Columbia Company.

Third, the public performance rights of the recording work belong to the singers who sing the song, but in specific practice, the weak singers often give up this right to the production company, so multinational music companies often hand over the original song to another local singer in different countries to re-perform. However, Song Ya and Mariah Carey are not in this case. Both of them have the public performance rights of their own songs. Other singers who want to cover the song must obtain the consent of the two. Non-profit private covers are not in this case. However, strictly speaking, coverings infringe on the copyright of the second part of the recording work, and they have to do it by themselves.

The deal between MJ and Sony Columbia Records is aimed at the second part of the copyright.

"What are you going to do?" asked Mariah Carey.

"I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet. Daniel is following up. He will notify me when there is a suitable opportunity." Song Ya replied.

"It's great to have Daniel as president," she said.

Indeed, if the president was still Mothura now, the two of them would have been suppressed and difficult to move forward, not as comfortable as they are now.

Mariah Carey opened the shower head, and the sound of water sounded, "ijustwantyouformythan yououldeverknow, makemywisheiwantforyouuuuuu..." She began to sing in the bathroom again.

"Christmas song?" Song Ya frowned: "Didn't you reject this album?"

"Who told you to have a baby with another woman? I was so angry that I returned to New York and agreed to Daniel. I wanted to forget you with music, hum!" She continued to sing: "I just want you to be with you by my side, which makes my dream come true beyond your imagination. At Christmas, all I want is you, only you..."

"Wow, this is not a word to forget me, I'm not right." Song Ya teased.

"It took only fifteen minutes for Walt and I to write it, but Walt was not very satisfied with the accompaniment, so he was revising it."

"Uh... OK."

"When will it snow in Chicago?" she asked.

“There will definitely be nowhere in November, sometimes even earlier.”

"Then I'll put the MV in Chicago to shoot? I should be able to catch up with the song before Christmas?"

"Okay, sure."

She had something to do, so Song Ya felt relieved. After spending a few sweet days together in New York, he bid farewell to his fiancee who started recording work and continued to dance hard on the soundtrack of my life and the movie promotion schedule.

"Long time no see, Jeffrey."

He will also take the lead in managing his business. For example, after completing an event near the Chinese community in San Francisco, he came to Sunnyvale, and his relationship with Palm should have a certainty.

"Hello, aplus." Jeffrey Hawkins welcomed him, Jimmy and others into the office.

"You are so full of vitality here." Song Ya sat down and praised. Palm has completely emerged from the shadow of the failure of the PDA project. Now it has expanded its company, mainly specializing in software development and licensing services for other large companies.

"For you." Jeffrey Hawkins handed Song Ya a HP 200lx that had just been released, a horizontal flip PDA, with a black and white LCD screen on the top, and a PC keyboard similar to a conventional layout directly below.

“Wow.”

Song Ya felt that this thing was very close to the one that appeared in whereista. Palm gave up its hardware plan. Could it be that HP was the company that was truly successful in the original world line? "It seems that I will increase my holdings in HP stocks in the future." He smiled.

"Some of the functional modules use our software." Jeffrey Hawkins taught him to try out those features.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Song Ya was unintentionally playing with these things. After complimenting a few perfunctorily, she asked straight in and said, "Jeffrey, Jimmy said, do you want to sell the company?"

"Well……"

Jeffrey Hawkins glanced at Jimmy beside him with some disgust, "I don't want to hide your aplus, that's it, and I and the management have reached a consensus on this matter."

"Why don't you continue to attract investment? With our current development situation, I can easily attract next round investors for you, and I can continue to follow up and at a relatively generous price." Song Ya asked.

Jeffrey Hawkins shook his head, "I decided that I am a person who is suitable for intensive work on technology, worrying about profit and company management for the past two years has caused me physically and mentally exhausted, so... don't worry, aplus, after I sell the shares, I will continue to stay in this company and continue to serve the interests of you and other investors."

"Don't be so hypocritical, Jeffrey, Xerox's lawsuit scares you." Jimmy sneered on the sofa halfway up.

"Something is considered to be a factor."

Jeffrey Hawkins did not refute, "You can use your investor's power aplus. When we agree to the next company, you will have priority to match the offer after the acquisition is negotiated. I like investors like you, but I don't like the annoying lawyer you sent." He pointed at Jimmy. It seemed that Jimmy was so annoying that he was very upset recently.

"There is no room for maneuver?" Song Ya asked.

"There is basically no more, and the results will come out before the end of the year. I will notify you at that time. After all, I am the founder and controlling shareholder of Palm." Jeffrey Hawkins said: "Believe me, your investment will have a huge return."

"That's it."

Since the other party has already shown up, Song Ya doesn't want to bother you anymore, "I'll wait for your good news, as soon as possible."

"Please rest assured."

In order to dance the movie project of my life, Song Ya's 1994-year investment in the technology industry is not good, but this year's Silicon Valley can be described as changing with each passing day. Countless startups have begun to disappear, and the industry has been constantly creating new technology heroes and rich people, which makes him feel like he has picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons afterwards.

In addition, he did not get any new predictions from the Apocalypse, and those new songs basically did not involve MVs of future technology products, or simply did not have MVs. The Apocalypse Movie Cat and Mouse Game tells a story from the 1960s and 1970s, and it is even more impossible for new computer laptops and mobile phones to appear like my life.

Oh yes, the symphony baba uses full 3D technology to produce, so companies related to 3D image production technology may be able to observe it. However, there is a hardware giant in the industry, and Hollywood's special effects production companies that use 3D technology are all in the hands of powerful figures such as Jobs, James Cameron, etc., and they can't afford it or buy it.

Leaving Palm and continuing to move on at Sunnyvale, he talked with Mark Anderson at Mosaic Web Browser Company and learned that their first official product would be available in October, he came to the location of Ameriga Music website.

Dilai built a large and simple office building here, which was empty inside. Song Ya could feel the chilly wind when she walked through the lobby on the first floor. The second floor was where the staff worked, and most of them were women. In front of the computer, they slowly entered according to paper text. Many people were still using the second finger Zen used on old-fashioned typewriters.

"not bad?"

He visited the website accompanied by Dilai, and the layout is also very simple, but the network database function of Ameriga Music Magazine is basically realized.

"It's not bad, the land here is rising all the way." Dilai thought he was asking about the land price.

“I said the website.”

"Well, basically there are very few views, but the click rate of the gossip column is much higher than that of the regular content." Dilai demonstrated it to him.

There are very few people who subscribe to Amerika Music Magazine, and Song Ya has nothing to complain about. Most of the content of the gossip column is provided by its Hollywood tabloid Louise. They will send articles that are not very aggressive regularly and then enter them on the Internet.

Song Ya always felt something was wrong, so she clicked a flattering article that danced out the box office of my life and asked: "Can't you add a comment function below the article?"

“bbs?”

"Yes, forum-style bbs," said Song Ya.

"I'll ask, call Miss Yan in."

Dilai asked his secretary to call in a Chinese woman, who was in her twenties, had long black hair and no makeup. The blue shirt on her upper body was the cheapest style. She was very simple but unexpectedly beautiful, with big eyes flashing, and her eyebrows were quite heroic, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

"Miss Yan, Hong Yan? Or Yan Hong, she is a PhD student at the State University of New York..." Dilai introduced.

"Hello, can you call you Yan Hong? What is the specific word? Swallow's swallow?"

"Okay, Mr. aplus, swallow's swallow, red red."

The two shook hands, and Song Ya tried in Chinese. Unexpectedly, the other party was very standard in Mandarin, but his words and behaviors were a bit funny, just like a robot standing in front of him.

"Does the boss want to add comment function to each gossip article to facilitate implementation?" Dilai asked.

"Yes, just this is needed..." Yan Hong immediately started to operate on the keyboard and explained the technology.

"No need to be restrained, Miss Yan, I just asked, don't want to hear the specific details." Song Ya smelled the faint fragrance of the shower gel on her body, and looked at her with interest. She had a great figure, tall and perfect curves.

"Uh... OK." The other party withdrew his hand and his face turned slightly red.

"What specific job do you do in my company?" Song Ya asked.

“Data Retrieval.”

"Ms. Yan Hong is an international student from China. She has already obtained the Dow Jones company's offer when she works as a short-term summer job." Dilai helped explain: "A user reported that it is inconvenient to query past articles of Ameriga Music. I asked her to help add a module that uses keywords to retrieve databases. She is an expert in this regard."

"Short-term work? Does Miss Yan Hong intend to stay in our company to work?" Song Ya continued to ask in Mandarin.

"Uh, sorry, I've already negotiated with there..."

"Wow, what a pity, Dow Jones Ah? It's really good."
