Chapter 150: Don't Bite Me

It is said that this matter is not over, but Miss Luo Quan really can't do anything about the NetEase Cloud platform for the time being.

There are many foreign songs without copyright on NetEase Cloud, and the copyright of these songs is basically held by the three major record companies: Universal, Sony, and Warner.

Universal and Sony, Miss Luo Quan has quite a few acquaintances, and they are at the level of directors and managers. As long as she mentions it: there is a music platform in China using your songs without copyright, they can immediately clean them up.

At that time, the NetEase Cloud platform will not only need to take down all infringing songs but also pay huge compensation, which is definitely a heavy blow like hurting muscles and bones.

It sounds very satisfying, and there is no difficulty in implementing it, but if Miss Luo Quan really did this, what would be her end in China?

The NetEase Cloud platform is currently the largest music platform on the entire network, famous for its large, complete, and almost free songs. User stickiness and new user growth are in a unique position in the country.

The existence of this platform gave freeloading users too much convenience; many domestic and foreign paid songs could be downloaded and listened to for free, without having to pay those expensive purchase fees at all.

If she contacted Sony and Universal Music to take down all these songs on the NetEase Cloud platform, who would the NetEase Cloud users whose music library was swept away vent their anger on?

This is a question that doesn't need thinking at all!

Although Miss Luo Quan doing this has no problem, and is also defending copyright for those creators, it can be called the light of the right path.

But in the eyes of the general public, this is infringing on their spiritual entertainment property, even if these properties are illegal.

Don't look at how people have been shouting about supporting genuine products and opposing freeloading in recent years; when they really encounter paid content, how many are truly willing to spend money?

It's not just music, including anime, TV dramas, movies, novels, and games. When encountering paid content, most people look for free resources on network disks or websites in the first time, and only when they really can't find them will they reluctantly open a membership or pay a two or three yuan on-demand fee.

The sales of the album "18" is the most realistic portrayal. How high is the quality of the ten songs in the album? It has been blown by all walks of life as the best Chinese album in the new century, hailed as an epoch-making work, a genius work, but the total sales on all platforms are still less than 200,000, not even a fraction of the total sales of the new single released by the neighbor's little fresh meat.

Miss Luo Quan understood the Chinese people too well, because she herself liked to freeload in the past, but precisely because of this, she had never forced the Chinese people to support her genuine albums; there were so many pirated songs of hers on various music platforms, and she had always turned a blind eye to them.

It's not that she doesn't want to manage, it's just that she really can't manage it.

The same is true for the NetEase Cloud platform. So many people are listening to free songs here. If these songs are taken down because of her, she will be scolded on the hot search that night, and it will be a full-network spray in the true sense.

Don't look at how many people scolded her on the internet before. In fact, Miss Luo Quan knows clearly that it was mainly the fans of those female stars, mixed with some "Jingmei" (worship of foreign things), fake pastoral feminism, and lemon monsters. Moreover, the number of people who maintain her has never been small.

But this time, if she really reported the NetEase Cloud platform, her reputation would stink, even if she did a good thing.

Therefore, for this Manager Zheng and the NetEase Cloud platform, besides continuing to post articles to condemn, Miss Luo Quan really has no particularly good way.

Continuing to post articles actually has no meaning. In the eyes of others, it is probably laughing at her incompetent rage.

But she is a person who holds grudges. Not being able to deal with the NetEase Cloud platform now doesn't mean there will be no chance in the future, as long as she is patient enough.

But Miss Luo Quan underestimated the thickness of these people's faces.

The day after ending the call with Manager Zheng, Cao Fan uploaded a song on the NetEase Cloud platform again.

The song title is still "Lemon." This time, the music and accompaniment are exactly the same as "Lemon," but the lyrics have all been changed to Chinese.

Before it was copying, this time it was changed to Sinicization, and there seem to be several places in the lyrics that imply Miss Luo Quan, and it hit the hot song list in less than ten minutes.

Miss Luo Quan didn't know what to say after seeing it. She could only say that if a tree doesn't have skin, it will die, and if a person doesn't have a face, they are invincible in the world.

At noon, Miss Luo Quan received another call from a stranger.

"Hello, I am Cao Fan."

Miss Luo Quan frowned: "Anything?"

"I was indeed a bit inconsiderate when I uploaded that song before, but I think 'Lemon' is really a good song, so I want to buy its adaptation rights from you."

Miss Luo Quan's tone was serious: "Boarding first and buying tickets later? You still have this kind of operation?"

"It's nothing more than the order of priority. I can give you a good price." Cao Fan was sure that Miss Luo Quan would sell the adaptation rights of the song to her, so she didn't care about uploading first or later.

Hearing Miss Luo Quan didn't speak, Cao Fan continued to persuade: "Don't be angry. Everyone in China does this now. How many of the adapted songs that have become popular are not boarding first and buying tickets

To say something you might not like to hear, your popularity in China is not as good as mine right now. Look, my song "Lemon" just came out and already has hundreds of thousands of views. As long as you give me the adaptation rights to the song, these fans will immediately know that the original singer of this song is you, and your popularity will immediately go up. I won't give you less money than I should here either; why not do it?"

It sounded like Cao Fan had given Miss Luo Quan a condition she couldn't refuse: she could increase her popularity and collect licensing fees. Doing so could also be considered a reconciliation with the Yiyun platform; it was simply a triple-win situation. If Miss Luo Quan still refused, it would be because she didn't know how to handle the big picture.

This was the solution Manager Zheng had told Cao Fan last night. As long as there was a *fait accompli*, and then one reasoned with them, very few people would not obediently submit. The Yiyun platform had used the same method to deal with many domestic and foreign musicians before.

These musicians all had a common characteristic: they were not well-known in China, but their songs were very good, and once adapted, they could immediately become popular all over the internet through short video platforms.

Once the original singer came knocking, the Yiyun platform would throw money at them or promise various benefits, and in the end, they would always get a satisfactory answer.

And before this, the disputes between the original singer and the adapter would all turn into traffic flowing to the Yiyun platform for monetization.

In this era where traffic is king, the boundary between right and wrong has long been blurred. As long as there is controversy, it means huge popularity and traffic, and in the eyes of capitalists, these are all shiny silver.

Marx once said: "If capital has 50 percent profit, it will take risks; if it has 100 percent profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws; if it has 300 percent profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged."

And this is almost a business with no cost and ten thousand times the profit; capitalists aren't even afraid of death, so are they afraid of being scolded by others for being shameless?

Most people, hearing this, basically gave up struggling; after all, an arm cannot twist a thigh, and everyone has to eat; only with money can one write better works, right?

But Miss Luo Quan was never "most people"; she only replied to Cao Fan with one word:

"Get lost!"

And then she hung up the phone.

On this side, Miss Luo Quan hadn't figured out how to scold these shameless bastards, but Zheng Li was the first to attack her on Weibo:

"The Yiyun platform originally wanted to purchase the adaptation rights of "Lemon" from Miss Luo Quan. We were very sincere and prepared a licensing fee far higher than the market price, but Miss Luo Quan seemed not particularly satisfied with this price and even used abusive language towards us.

I know that as a free platform, the Yiyun platform will offend the interests of many capitalists and singers, but we actually just want to create a place for the vast number of fans to listen to good songs for free. The road is indeed difficult, but we will not be discouraged by a few setbacks!"

Well, this was preparing to mobilize the power of the masses to put pressure on Miss Luo Quan. It was clearly them who infringed on rights first, but now they made it seem like Miss Luo Quan was being unreasonable.

At first, quite a few people helped Miss Luo Quan speak, feeling that what Zheng Li and the Yiyun platform did was moral kidnapping, and they even brought up Cao Fan's previous infringement to question why they hadn't responded yet.

But as some grassroots signed singers of the Yiyun platform stood up to speak, their fans also came out to counterattack Miss Luo Quan. The point of attack was nothing more than that Miss Luo Quan was too petty, treating a song like a treasure, and being jealous that Cao Fan was more popular than her.

When it came to fighting with words, Miss Luo Quan had never been afraid; she could even sing to spray these people.

Three hours after Zheng Li started the group attack on Weibo, Miss Luo Quan released a song on Bilibili and started spraying directly.

The author of this song is one of Miss Luo Quan's favorite singers. This singer was also a ruthless person who liked to scold and mock in his early years, and he loved to use songs to express his attitude and spray trolls.

And this song of Miss Luo Quan's is the one that sprays people the hardest, directly scolding people as dogs.

And this is also the most realistic portrayal of Miss Luo Quan's current heart.

"Don't Bite Me"

Sure enough, 2017 Miss Luo Quan is back here again

Gentle rap to let you hear some things

Listen carefully if you don't have the patience to listen

Please close the player immediately now

Don't say 2017, even 3017

There will still be xx accompanying us to roar all the way like this

Although writing lyrics and composing music is my pleasure

But is singing a song for this too much of a compliment to it?

I just sit in front of the keyboard

Writing my original songs with heart

This is my talent and my interest

Who is directing a conspiracy behind the scenes with bad intentions?

Originally simple music

But it is entangled by interests and not clean

Every note and pure heart in the music

Why can't it escape facing the fate of hypocrisy?

I once asked myself

Is it necessary to fight back so dashingly?

But some people make me feel sick when I think of them

I should still take out the courage to beat dogs

I often ask myself

Do sanctimonious people have any conscience left?

If it's because of mental illness

Welcome to Tokyo to visit the famous doctor Izumi

Be a person before doing things; don't you understand this truth?

Is what you post important? Can you face your dad and mom?

Be a person before doing things; don't you understand this truth?

Is what you post important? Can you face your dad and mom?

The scenery of Jiangnan is good

How could you understand?

Life is too sloppy

Rampant for a season and finally burned

Stand at attention and stand straight

Straighten your willow waist

Don't be boring anymore

Hide your lonely trap

Interests, it's interests again

Mom gave you eyes

But you compromised and were blinded by interests

I feel heartbroken when I see Weibo logs

I don't know if I can stir up your meager filial piety

This century welcomes a decibel of noise

Believe you are digging your own grave and you are still pointing out the maze

If we stand up, it counts as an atrocity

Then does reselling works and falsely reporting traffic count as evil?

Too many evil deeds, can't count them all

I have no interest in complimenting your so-called job responsibilities

For money, you show your dog tail and talk nonsense on TV

Do you think Chinese netizens are all idiots?

I, I, I take a deep breath, the dog barking here is not quiet

Selling your life for money, there is no place for you anywhere

The mask is torn off, the ugly face and heart are abandoned by the whole world
