But if you deny it, there will be hard evidence of a sudden crisis in the blue skirt, who knows...
I don’t want to take the risk of perjury for the leader. Forget it, just make it public. At that time Mariah Carey was still a wife and not an ex-wife. What's the fear? Anyway, my ex-girlfriend also published a book...
"APLUS? Mr. Alexander Song?" Xia Bo urged.
"Uh, in view of the advice of the legal counsel, I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution, I have the right to remain silent.
Of course, you can't just admit it, it's unnecessary.
As soon as the congressmen began to whisper to each other, the hearing was slightly noisy.
"Mr. Alexander Song, are you sure you want to cite the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution?" Senator Xia Bo asked with a smile, "This is not a testimony involving serious guilt, what do you think?"
Sloan coughed behind.
This is an old-fashioned little language trap. Once the power of the Fifth Amendment is cited, you can no longer answer any other questions, otherwise it will be regarded as voluntarily giving up, and you must not quote again ~www.mtlnovel.com~ In view of the legal counsel I am sorry that I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to remain silent. "
"I'll ask again, you report to Starr..."
"In view of the advice of the legal adviser, I cannot answer your question. According to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, I have the right to remain silent..."
At the Senate side, the young Bronfman finished his speech. There was a break in the middle of the large-scale hearing. The flashes on the scene were lit up and the reporters came to take pictures shortly.
He closed the document, held up the frame, got up and nodded with a smile to the members of the rostrum, and then shook hands with the people around him.
In addition, the novel app I am using recently, [app] supports both Android and iPhone!
"OK, I have a question..."
After the break, the hearing continued. Senator Durbin of the Donkey Party of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Antitrust, Commercial Rights and Fair Competition Group asked: “According to our conclusion, Seagram Universal is now the world’s largest music company. right?"
Chicago 1990 Chapter 1242: Blue Heights
"Yes."
Young Bronfman looked at the nameplate in front of the questioner, Illinois Senator Durbin, hehe, Illinois... In the Blue Heights of the Midwest, the clean senator who lives in a shared apartment with congressional colleagues in Washington? Antitrust team member? But I got the news early to be wary of you, all the way!
"Uh……"
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he added: "Strictly speaking, the world’s largest music company is Universal Music, a subsidiary of Seagram Universal, and it will not be officially obtained until January 1 of next year when all mergers and acquisitions with Polygram are completed. This honor. Senator Durbin."
"So does this new company have monopoly concerns?" Durbin asked.
He turned his head, and the lawyer next to him immediately whispered to inform the page number of the document, "If you know the record industry, Senator Durbin, even if the merger with Polygram is completed, the new Universal Music Group The share will be about... and there is no monopoly on the market."
He Shi Shiran said: "At present, other multinational record companies: Sony Columbia, BMG, EMI, Warner Music, etc., each have a market share of about... from high to low. This is an industry with a long history and full competition. There are also a large number of small and medium record companies in Hollywood, including Disney and other media groups."
"Of course I did understand."
Durbin was also looking through the documents there. "I noticed that Universal Music Group and Sony Columbia Records once signed a cooperation document... which you call the Duet Alliance. In the online music market, the record copyrights owned by the two of you together The rate has exceeded 50%, isn't it?"
It's impossible to guard against... Little Bronfman’s brain was down for two seconds, and then the same reaction as Song Ya, first gave Senator Durbin a deep and unhappy look, then turned off the microphone, covered it with his hand, and turned his head again to seek his subordinates. s help.
Both the lawyer and Universal Music President Doug Morris stuffed documents in front of him.
The difference is that this is a public hearing, and the reporter's flashlight flashes a few times during the silence between the questioning parties.
"First of all, this is just a plan that only stays at the preparatory stage. Second, in the Internet field, similar situations are not uncommon. For example, Netscape browser has a market share of 90% or more at its peak."
Little Bronfman organized a good word order to answer and asked, "Aren't we holding a hearing on the Digital Millennium Act?"
"Cough." The lawyer coughed slightly and reminded, "Senator."
"Mr. Senator." He added the honorific statement.
"So for what reason and motivation does Seagram Universal Group oppose the passage of the Digital Millennium Act under the premise that it is about to establish a de facto monopoly in the field of online music copyright?" Senator Durbin has a sharper question than another. .
"I don't understand the logical relationship between the two!"
He became impatient, and quickly and concealed his eyes to communicate with Senator Joseph Lieberman of the Jewish Donkey Party present, "My position is consistent. This bill will harm the interests of industry copyright owners and copyright owners. ."
"Opposing to be evaluated constitutes a monopoly." Doug Morris reminded.
"And I am opposed to the duo alliance being judged to constitute a monopoly. You can't use what I haven't done to ask my sins."
"Senator." The lawyer reminded again.
He held back his breath, "Mr. Senator."
"OK, wait a minute." Senator Durbin also covered the microphone. He should have noticed that his aides were gesturing to remind him next to the rostrum. He signaled that the aides should send the documents he was holding.
The other senators didn't take the opportunity to interrupt, even Joseph Lieberman waited silently with his mouth.
The shutter sound connected at the scene, and a reporter took the opportunity to sneak up to the little Bronfman and take a frontal close-up photo.
Perhaps it was the smell of ignition medicine, and the audience was also commotion.
Little Bronfman's eyes were flashed by the flash, and he raised his hand slightly uncomfortably to block it.
"Quiet, the hearing is still going on." Chairman Senator McKean maintained order.
‘APLUS cited the Fifth Amendment. ’
Durbin opened the file, saw the small note sandwiched by his staff, and put it on his face blankly, "I'm fine."
Didn't take advantage of the other party's growing impetuous mood to take advantage of the victory? McKean was surprised, "Okay, then please the next congressman..."
"Ahem, Mr. Bronfman."
Joseph Lieberman started asking questions about safety that didn't make much trouble. He was always a small curse and a big help. This time it was not a big help but he could smoothly delay the rest of the time.
Little Bronfman gradually relaxed, switched back to a more comfortable sitting position, and looked back triumphantly at idol Barry Diller.
Barry Diller blinked his eyes to express his compliment, and when he turned his head, he instantly changed his face. After observing Senator Durbin’s behavior seriously and secretly for a while, he felt that there was no major problem behind him, so he found an opportunity to quietly leave the meeting place early.
"According to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, according to the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, my tongue is almost knotted after a word is turned over and over."
