The lobbying on Capitol Hill, the uproaring of think tanks, and the preparation of public opinion were originally the work of leading big companies, such as Netscape, aol, yahoo, etc., but because the Recording Industry Association picked the American music website to initiate a lawsuit, this is likely to become a precedent. The case is in a law-of-the-sea country. Both the plaintiff and the defendant both attach great importance to the industry. Therefore, major Internet companies have given great support to the Amerika Music website, and they also accepted the parent company of Amerika Music website Litman Media and CEO Sloan. In their small circle, it is a top circle composed of various related think tanks, foundations, outside groups, media, and intellectual circles.
"Long time no see, Mr. Clark, Mr. Case."
Of course Song Ya would like to thank you, "Thank you for what you did for the American Music website."
"Help each other."
Jim Clark’s industry tycoon is still very stylish. Everything is going fast in the Internet industry. Entering the second half of 1998, Netscape browser has been squeezed to death by Microsoft’s ie. He ordered a ship when Netscape was in full bloom. Sailing yachts have a 60-meter-high main mast, which is probably one of the top ten superyachts in the world, and finally waited until the shipbuilding company delivered the goods... Netscape is already like this, a bit ironic.
Their merger and acquisition negotiations with Aol went smoothly, and I believe there will be results within the year. Jim Clark and Steve Case are getting more and more together.
In fact, Song Ya later bet a little bit of aol stock in order to share the risk. A little bit, the other party should not know it, and he did not say that after all, he once abandoned Jim Clark and embraced Microsoft’s thigh. His relationship with Jim Clark is now It's subtle, but the interests in dealing with the recording industry are the same.
"You can get votes for the African-American Caucus, right? I know you have a very good relationship with the Donkey Caucus in the House of Representatives, as."
As the founder of the industry’s first stock and Internet figure, Jim Clark’s presence was mainly up to him to control the pace of the conversation, "Of course Governor Peter Flock." He raised his glass to Alicia, "I wish him this year The re-election goes well, how is the election?"
"Thank you."
They should have donated some money to Peter. Alicia took two glasses of wine from the waiter, handed them a glass to Song Ya, and replied, "Not bad, there should be no big problems."
"That's good."
Everyone had a drink. Jim Clark said, "Our leader is a politician who believes in the third way. He likes to compromise, so in order to ensure that the safe haven bill is passed, as, Ms. Sloan, we need to send the bill. The Congress was a bit more aggressive before and increased the price. In other words, our unified approach will continue the concept of Article 230 of the Communication Regulation Act of 1996, that is, complete exemption from liability..."
He who has always been a good teacher, said in a long speech, "OS should not take responsibility, because we are only a company that provides services such as network access and building network infrastructure, and only serves as a channel for information circulation. We are in a position like a highway. There is no way to control the goods carried by vehicles transported on the road, nor do we have the ability to control the endless information on the Internet. Speeding on the highway and violating traffic rules should the highway company be sent to the dock? It’s ridiculous! Its responsibilities in copyright infringement can not punish and deter infringers, but will only force os to monitor and interfere with user behavior at high economic costs. This is obviously uneconomic and unreasonable, and will inevitably hinder the network. The healthy development of the platform!"
"Ok...ok..."
Song Ya took out the pen and paper from the Sloan bag, "We are like a highway company...uneconomical, unreasonable...healthy development, ok, I'll take it down."
"This kid is smart, smart and easy to learn, but a little too cunning haha..."
Jim Clark was very satisfied with his humbly teaching attitude, UU reading www.uukanshu.com commented with Steve Case beside him with a bit of resentment.
"Little Bronfman is very annoying. Now the entertainment industry is arguing for him. Hollywood, the record industry... his personal attitude is also the most determined. The Digital Millennium Act is a fierce battle."
Steve Case is not as optimistic as Jim Clark, reminding that "the first version will be sent to Congress next month. It's the last juncture."
"Is it so fast?"
You hate that wealthy industry is really racing against time, just like the stock price of the Nasdaq.
"One month is enough for a lot of things to happen," Sloan said from the side.
"Anyway, this time you don't want to rattle both ends, as."
Jim Clark pointed to his eyes, implying that they were staring, "Ha, the congressmen are over there, let's go over." He and Steve Case went to socialize elsewhere.
"If Netscape can successfully merge with AOL, Microsoft will be more passive in antitrust cases."
Sloan looked at the back of the two and said.
"Let's keep a low profile."
Song Ya drank the wine in one cup, "Alicia, you just said you want to talk about the case privately?"

"You! You are not going back to New York!?"
"No way, Hollywood still has a lot of work to do." Song Ya replied to Shakira with her mobile phone, and the other hand held the waistband of her trousers, jumping upwards.
"You can call them to New York!"
"No way, Director Larry Jordan is in the hospital. I'm going to visit somehow?"
"...Then come back quickly."
"I will, that's it?"
"Ok."
"Well, I love you." He put away the phone.
On the back bed, Sloan and the governor's wife laughed intellectually.
He also laughed and joked with them a few times, and when he was ready, he put the banknotes on the table into his pocket, "bye..."
It was very hard to rush to Los Angeles again. Hollywood does have a lot of jobs. It is time to visit old Larry, but he has a more important task to visit Linton, the president of Disney Copyright.
The Internet industry wants to do private transactions with Disney, because at the same time that the Digital Millennium Act was submitted to Congress, Disney’s Sonny Bono copyright extension bill is also facing a vote in both houses. Simply put, this bill will protect copyright owners. The period will be extended for another twenty years. Take a famous example: If the bill is passed, the copyright of Mickey Mouse that should have expired in 2003 will be extended to 2023.
This bill is better known in the US nickname: the Mickey Mouse Act.
To extend the copyright for another twenty years is to extend the company's copyright from 75 to 95 years, and the personal copyright from 55 to 75 years after the death of the author. It would be too long...
Therefore, the public and politicians have very negative views. Disney is facing a lot of pressure and they are very anxious. It is not too far away in 2003. If the bill is executed, except Mickey Mouse, it will expire in 2006 and Goofy Dog in 2008. , There are a lot of money printing machines such as Donald Duck, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney will lose them in the next ten years.
Disney is a good business partner. The Internet industry hopes that they will secretly be the "owners" in the entertainment industry. Together with Time Warner, who is already betting on both sides, Song Ya, who has a good relationship with Linton, was sent by Jim Clark and other bigwigs. For this job.
"Really annoying!"
Once the American boyfriend was gone, Shakira scolded a lot of swear words in Spanish, but she had no time to do it now, and a party was being held at Tribeca's house.
