"Brin, what's going on? Did we not think about the copyright when we made the video editing software?"
"It's because we were in a rush and forgot."
"…"
Paige was speechless.
She did not expect this to happen at such a critical moment.
However, this was not important.
Google had never paid much attention to copyright issues.
Even if they did not forget about it before, they would still do it. Their previous behavior was to use the software first.
As for whether or not it was a copyright infringement, they would slowly file a lawsuit.
"Don't argue with them. Give them some money and send them away."
Paige frowned and said.
This was a critical moment for Youtobe. Even though they did not want to pay attention to these celebrities.
However, it was better not to cause any problems.
However, Brin shook his head and said, "It's useless. These people are led by Huanyu Video."
"What does this have to do with Huanyu Video?"
"Huanyu Video bought the copyright of these songs. This means that Huanyu Video is causing trouble for us."
At this moment, Paige understood.
This was a trap set by Huanyu Video.
They had bought the copyright a long time ago. If Youtobe dared to use these songs, they would bring these celebrities to cause trouble.
Although these celebrities didn't have much value, their media influence was big enough.
As long as these celebrities caused trouble, Youtobe would be involved in the copyright infringement controversy.
"Damn it."
Paige cursed.
That was right.
This was what Chen Yu had planned for a long time.
Although he knew that in a place like the US where copyright was more strictly enforced, there might be fewer infringements.
However, this was not necessarily the case.
The so-called rare copyright infringement was only for ordinary people.
For many capitalists, copyright infringement was copyright infringement. What could they do about it?
In the search engine industry, Google had always been the most affected by copyright infringement.
Of course, Baidu was the same.
Last year, Google was sued by the US National Library and the US Authors Association for copyright infringement.
However, this lawsuit dragged on for a long time and was not over yet.
If nothing unexpected happened, this kind of lawsuit could only be settled in the end.
As for the reason, it was because the cost of infringement was too low, while the cost of protecting rights was too high.
A lawsuit like this would last for several years. Not to mention an individual, even a team of organizations would be incomparably tired.
Moreover, the amount of money needed to file a lawsuit in the United States was terrifying. Sometimes, the infringers would have no choice but to accept the settlement agreement when they ran out of money.
Of course, Google and Baidu were also in the search business.
In the search business, they would naturally deal with all kinds of copyright, whether it was text, video, or audio.
For them, they naturally didn't want any copyright.
Even if it was just a matter of copyright, he would think of a way to drag it out with the other party until the other party was tired.
With this in mind, Chen Yu invited a series of celebrities to YouTube as soon as the video app was released. He wanted to see if Youtobe had the guts to force their way into the video editor in front of the celebrities and media.
Without a doubt, when Huanyu Video brought a group of celebrities to their door, Youtobe removed Google's video editor.
They were not afraid of being sued by Huanyu.
They were really worried that if a fight broke out on the spot, the trouble they would face would be even worse.
"Page, are we going to withdraw just like that?"
"What else can we do?"
"But if we withdraw, Huanyu Video will catch up with us."
"Let's stop for a few days. We'll upload it later."
Page was not an easy person to deal with.
He was the person who made Google the world's number one. He was not someone who would admit defeat easily.
So what if it was copyright infringement?
Google had infringed too many copyrights.
But so what?
Google had still become the world's number one.
It was just a small copyright infringement. Page did not care about it at all.
However, Chen Yu had also thought of what Page could think of.
He knew that Youtobe would continue to infringe.
But it did not matter.
Chen Yu had all the time in the world to fight with them.
That day, Huanyu Video brought a group of celebrities to Google. The next day, Chen Yu instructed them to continue.
"Page, they're here again?"
"Who's here again?"
"Huanyu Video brought a group of celebrities."
"F * ck …"
Page walked out of his office to take a look.
Sure enough, Huanyu Video brought a group of celebrities to Youtobe again.
"Everyone, this is not good."
"Mr. Page, what's the matter?"
"We've already taken the video editor offline. What else do you want?"
"It's a misunderstanding, Mr. Page. I'm just bringing everyone to Youtobe for a tour. As you know, we admire Youtobe very much. Mr. Page, you wouldn't be unwelcome, right? "
"You …"
At this moment, Page almost flipped the table.
These f * ckers.
Tour?
Tour? F * ck your tour.
What was there to tour about Youtobe? They just wanted to see if Google's video editor would be uploaded again.
"Alright, feel free to tour."
Page gritted his teeth and returned to his office angrily.
This time, he could not tolerate it anymore.
He wanted to see how long Huanyu Video could bring these celebrities to Youtobe for a tour.
"Brin, are they here yet?"
"They're here."
"F * ck, they're here again."
This was the third day.
Page tolerated it again.
Then came the fourth day.
"Brin, when did they arrive?"
"Early in the morning."
"So early?"
"They even brought breakfast over."
"F * ck …"
Page continued to tolerate it.
The fifth day.
The sixth day.
The seventh day.
Huanyu Video was just that stubborn.
For seven consecutive days, he brought a group of celebrities to Youtobe every day.
The eighth day …
Finally, Brin told him a piece of good news.
"Page, good news, good news. Those b * stard celebrities have finally left."
"They've left?"
"Really?"
"Yes, it's absolutely true. I heard that these celebrities are bored and don't want to tour anymore."
"Hahaha, hahaha … I thought you could hold on for a few more days."
This time, Page was extremely excited.
Hmph, he knew that these people would not be able to hold on.
Since that was the case, Page glanced at Brin and ordered, "Brin, release our Google Video Editor immediately. This time, we won't take it off the shelves after we release it."
"Oh right, just in case, set up 100 security guards at the entrance. If Huanyu Video comes looking for trouble again, chase them all out."
Page had been driven to the brink of collapse by Huanyu Video.
After enduring it for seven days, he finally could not tolerate it any longer.
However, what he didn't expect or didn't notice was that ….
During these seven days, Huanyu Video held a press conference on the eighth day.
The main theme of the press conference was to introduce the data of Huanyu Video's website.
Huanyu Video's daily original videos had reached 600,000.
Huanyu Video's daily IP page views had exceeded 15 million.
What was even more terrifying was that the PV page views had exceeded 300 million.
In other words, every visitor who viewed Huanyu Video had viewed at least 20 web pages.
To put it simply, every visitor had clicked on at least 20 Huanyu Video's videos.
In addition, 50% of the visitors had an average daily stay of 30 minutes.
40% of the visitors had an average daily stay of one hour.
30% of the visitors had an average daily stay of more than two hours.
In the end, Li Xuelin announced:
Huanyu Video's IP page views, active users, and original video users had surpassed similar websites in terms of IP page views, IP page views, active users, and original video users. It was the number one video website in the world.
