Wada Nakamasa's move was very useful. It directly hit Zhong Dian website's weakness!
As long as they started from the point where they could easily make an issue out of it, everything else would naturally not be difficult!
As expected, after hearing the examiner's words, the jury on both sides and the 20,000 spectators instantly became confused.
Was this Zhong Dian website framing them? Or was Feng Yun website a counterfeit? But no matter what, if Zhong Dian website could not produce any evidence now, this trial would be considered a failure. Moreover, it was very likely that the other party would make a false accusation!
Wada Nakamasa's move caused Zhong Dian website, which originally had the upper hand, to instantly fall to rock bottom. Even if the lawsuit failed this time, the netizens would think that Feng Yun website was following the trend. But after all, that effect was more than ten times weaker than them directly making a counterfeit!
"This is going to be difficult!" Hong Weiguo, who was sitting in the jury, frowned deeply and said, "They were so anxious and uneasy just now, but it was all fake! Looks like there's something fishy going on here. How vicious! "
"That's right." Mu Tie rubbed his temples and said, "I didn't expect them to act so quickly. Now that the only evidence we have is useless, what should we do next? "
"Difficult!" Liu Yihui helplessly shook his head. "Even if we know that the examiner team may have tampered with it, we don't have any evidence. It's too difficult!"
The jury shook their heads and sighed, while the authors were filled with righteous indignation. "It's not considered an infringement if it's less than 60%? Then does 59% count? If there's no problem, can I just copy from others in the future, as long as it doesn't exceed 60%? "" That's right. Sigh, but there's really nothing we can do about it. That's the law, isn't it? " "But it can't be too different. This time, Young Master can't win. That's going to be difficult!"
Wada Nakamasa's trump card had almost caused Zhong Dian website to collapse, and the price they had to pay was only slightly more than 10 million yuan. What's more, they could even turn around and bite Zhong Dian website!
"Silence!" Seeing that the scene was about to go out of control, the judge fiercely knocked on the table. "Everyone, please be quiet!"
With the help of the bailiff, after more than ten minutes, the situation in the trial hall was finally under control. However, although the audience who were more familiar with online literature were calmed down, many of the audience who didn't know the truth, plus the Feng Yun Internet Water Army, couldn't be stopped no matter what.
"I knew it! Zhong Dian website would definitely frame us! Feng Yun website is like the sun in the sky these few days, they're scared! "
"That's possible. To falsely accuse someone of the same trade, his reputation will definitely plummet!"
"That's right, it's really difficult this time. Look at Zhong Dian's lawyer, he's already starting to sweat."
"You must have a guilty conscience."
Now that the tides had turned in an instant, Feng Yun website's lawyer was like a general who had returned victorious. He laughed smugly and said, "Your Honor, I wonder if Zhong Dian website has any other evidence?"
Upon hearing his words, the judge on the podium hesitated for a moment, then looked towards Zhong Dian's side. "Does the plaintiff have any other evidence?"
Zhong Dian's lawyer thought about it carefully, shook his head slowly, and said, "Your Honor, we request for an adjournment."
"Hahaha! Court adjourned? You've falsely accused us, and now that you can't produce any evidence, you want to adjourn the court? "Feng Yun website's lawyer laughed and said," Sure, sure. Judge, let's adjourn the court! Let's see how they plan to frame us! "
Now that both sides had agreed, the judge immediately slammed his gavel. "Court adjourned!"
Once the gavel landed, the entire place instantly exploded!
Zhong Dian website's lawyer walked back with his head full of sweat and helplessly said, "It's very difficult now. We don't have enough source code evidence. Although there's no problem with our source code, the review team said that a portion of it is public source code and can't be used as evidence. Now that it's less than 60%, we can't do anything about it."
Hong Weiguo thought carefully, then frowned and said, "Lawyer, will there be any problems with the review team? Hong Weiguo thought carefully for a while, then frowned and said, "I've asked the technology department. Our source code is more than 64% similar to theirs. Even if we have a public source code, it shouldn't be more than 5%, right?"
"This is very difficult to verify." The lawyer shook his head. "Under normal circumstances, there wouldn't be so much public source code. But the problem is, we know it now, but the judge doesn't. Also, if we bring this back for a retrial, there won't be enough time. Young Master Hong Dali's bet is almost up. "
"The other party has grasped the timing very accurately." Mu Tie sighed. "Now, even if we bring it back for a retrial, if we thoroughly review the source code of a piece of software and analyze the public source code, it will take at least four to five days. Even if the review team says too much, it'll just be a mistake in their work. It's not a big problem. But by then, we'll have already lost the bet."
"Difficult!" Liu Yihui sighed. "Shiroishi Kazuma, this old fox, must have bribed the review team. We just need to increase the proportion of public source code by one or two percent. He's really fast!"
"Yes, but the problem is, we don't have any evidence." Hong Weiguo despondently said, "Forget it, don't think so much. The biggest problem now is, what should we do next?"
The lawyer thought for a while and finally said, "If there's really no other way, we can only request for a retrial. If it's slower, so be it. There's no other way."
"That's the only way."
…
"Mr. Wada, next …" The lawyer secretly asked Toyoda Conglomerate's chief lawyer, Wada Nakamasa, "are we going to sue them for false accusation?"
"Yes." Wada Nakamasa insipidly nodded, then closed his eyes to rest.
…
Zhong Dian website and Feng Yun website each had their own plans, and the news was already flying all over the internet!
"Latest news, Zhong Dian website requested for an adjournment due to lack of evidence. The outcome of the biggest copyright infringement case in history is hard to predict!" — Easy Net News.
"Shocking reversal. Feng Yun website's Feng Yun app did not infringe on copyright. It's just that the similarity is very high. Zhong Dian website is facing the danger of being counter-sued!" — Xinhai News.
"The future is bleak! Zhong Dian website's situation is very uncertain this time! "— Soulang News.
…
In the various authors' group chats —
"I didn't expect Zhong Dian website to actually lack evidence. It's going to be difficult this time!"
"Yes, sigh, it's really difficult this time. The most important thing to sue for copyright infringement is evidence. Without other important evidence, we'll probably lose!"
"What the heck, 59% similarity doesn't count as copyright infringement. What's going on!"
…
In the Zhong Dian website Great Gods' group chats —
Dark Dragon of the Universe: "It's going to be difficult. The other party is too sinister. We don't know where they did this. If we lose the lawsuit this time, Young Master will be in danger!"
Treasure Slayer: "Damn, it's such an obvious situation. Are the judges all blind? If there's no clear evidence, who would sue? The review team must have been bribed. F * ck! "
Dark Dragon of the Universe: "It's useless even if we know. Evidence is important in court. Now that there's no evidence to prove that there's something wrong with the review team, there's nothing we can do. We can only find other evidence of copyright infringement."
Treasure Slayer: "How? Is there enough time to collect other evidence in such a short period of time? "
Dark Dragon of the Universe: "So, the other party is seizing this opportunity. As long as Young Master loses, by then, Feng Yun's side will gather their momentum and sue Young Master for false accusation. After going back and forth with the lawsuit, when the final verdict is out, it'll be too late."
Treasure Slayer: "Yes, I'm dying of anxiety. Damn!"
…
In the online literature forum —
Author 1: "Zhong Dian website, I've really misjudged you. They worked so hard to create an app, and you want to sue them just because they're making money. Don't you have any shame? Don't you have any conscience?!
Author 2: "Fight against Zhong Dian website! To think that I thought you guys weren't using Luo Xue's matter to create hype. But now, it seems that I've really thought too highly of you! Jealousy is an illness. It needs to be treated!
Author 3: "Brothers, don't go to Zhong Dian. Feng Yun is the way to go!"
Author 4: "Aiya, you can know a person's face but not his heart. I can only laugh."
…
The entire Internet was in a state of panic. Those who supported Zhong Dian, those who opposed Zhong Dian, and those who supported Feng Yun, were all different!
This was the biggest pirated copyright infringement case in Heavenly State in recent years. The situation was becoming more and more complicated.
Very soon, the adjournment ended. The judge slammed his gavel. "Now, the trial continues!"
"Judge, we request to review the source code again." Zhong Dian website's lawyer slowly said, "We have doubts about the previous review."
"En." The judge nodded. "What about the defendant?"
"Judge, they don't have any other evidence. That means that they're making false accusations!" Feng Yun website's lawyer loudly said, "Judge, I'm suing Zhong Dian website for false accusations! They're falsely accusing us of pirating and greatly affecting Feng Yun website's reputation! We request them to compensate for the damage to our reputation! "
Countercharge! At this stage, they'd indeed started to countercharge!
Since Zhong Dian website could not produce any new evidence, their Feng Yun website would immediately make a countercharge and drag Zhong Dian website down from their high horse!
"What should we do?" Mu Tie anxiously said, "If we still can't produce any evidence, we'll really lose this battle!"
"I have no choice." Hong Weiguo anxiously said, "What evidence can we have now?"
The audience whispered. "Aiya, this is really a case of going for wool and coming home shorn. Suing them, but failing to sue them and getting countercharged!" "That's right. Once they lose the lawsuit and get countercharged, they'll have to compensate quite a lot of money, right? "" The key is that this way, Zhong Dian website's reputation will be ruined. It's worse than losing money! "" That's right! For such a large-scale case, wouldn't the compensation be tens of millions? "
Just as Feng Yun website's lawyer was proud of himself, Zhong Dian's side was sweating profusely, and the audience was whispering among themselves, a lazy voice suddenly sounded. "Ah, it's so comfortable to go back to sleep so early in the morning … Xinxin, how's the trial?"
Once they heard this voice, Zhong Dian website's side instantly became excited!
It's Hong Dali! Hong Dali actually woke up. He's actually here too!
