Some time ago, the divine comedy "Wild Wolf Disco", which has become popular in China, was on the stand: someone stood up and said that the masterpiece of the old man (Dong Baoshi) was suspected of plagiarizing
, "the forest dripping hair", how can it be done? Is it a plagiarism lawsuit? Anyway, living in a house is also in a house. The young master will show you the song
"Wild Wolf Disco", which consists of three parts: lyrics, music, and accompaniment. Among them, the words and music were written by the old man himself, this is nothing wrong; but the accompaniment (Beat) part, "Wild Wolf Disco" uses the work of Finnish music producer Vilho Ihaksi
Vilho Ihaksi finished the Beat After that, I uploaded it to youtube on February 1, 2018, and named it "More Sun"
. The old uncle heard this beat. He was very inspired at the time and decided to buy this beat. But it was estimated that the old uncle was struggling to get over the wall for a while, so he entrusted his friend Yang Ziang to help him purchase the commercial use rights, so Yang Ziang bought the lease (use contract) for $99 on July 12, 2019. The old uncle also posted the receipt at that time:
Some people will ask: Is this method of purchase legitimate? Do the creators authorize the Beatstar Marketplace website to sell their copyrights? The answer is: Ihaksi personally left a link below after uploading the beat on youtube: "If you want to buy, you can go to the Beatstar Marketplace platform, or write me directly."
also see the clear price below, the other first Regardless, let's just look at the one that the old man bought the $99 package, which clearly says unlimited. The last line also says: If you want exclusive copyright, chat privately!
In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, the young master went to the Starbeat Marketplace website and found that it had been 404.
...This song is not working, let’s see something else? An analogy is always okay. So Xiaozhu found the other beats uploaded by the same original creator Ihaksi on this website, and then also chose this $99 unlimited package
. The above terms of use stated clearly: unlimited use, unlimited distribution, and can be used for Including commercial performances of a for-profit nature, including unlimited music video recordings, including all broadcasting rights on the radio station
. From this point of view, you can use it after you buy it. It should be fine, right? What's more, when it appeared on "China New Rap", the arrangement of this song also clearly stated Ihaksi's name
and this credit gave Ihaksi
when he first uploaded Netease music and QQ music. If you operate it honestly, it shouldn't be considered an infringement, right? Unfortunately, this thing is really not that simple.
At the beginning of January 2020, suddenly a company called "Maxima International Media Co., Ltd." suddenly used a public account to attack the old uncle's team, saying "Wild Wolf Disco" Suspected infringement of
At that time, not only the team of "Wild Wolf", but also platforms such as Emperor, Huawei, NetEase Cloud, and Migu also received a "lawyer letter warning", claiming that "Wild Wolf Disco" was suspected of infringement and ordered them to be removed quickly. Otherwise the consequences are at your own risk
When things got so loud, it immediately became a hot topic. The nationality of "Wild Wolf Disco" will not be mentioned. From the New Year's Gala to the Spring Festival Gala, it can be said that it has completely reached the popularity of "no wild wolf, no party". ; And the word "plagiarism" and "infringement" is a thorn in the throat of Chinese original musicians for a long time. A small incident can cause an uproar, not to mention this kind of "national hot song"
Suddenly, the direction of the wind began to shift, and many people who didn't know the truth began to scold the old man. The domestic network environment is okay, and the external network is almost paralyzed (please judge yourself from the language usage habits, who is the scolding)
. The previous comments on this song were also suppressed by diss comments. Some "senior citizens" began to use their native language to evaluate "Look, the level of domestic people is like this, and they like this kind of local hi"
. We have already figured out the relationship before: the controversial part of this song is not the lyrics, nor is it. Composer, but arranger, the original arranger was Ihaksi, and in all public uploads and performances, the arranger was written by Ihaksi. Then, what the hell was the "Masima" who sent the lawyer's letter to the old uncle team and major platforms before?
In fact, the foreshadowing of this matter was laid at the beginning. Remember the following sentence after Ihaksi finished uploading on youtube? "If you want to buy exclusive rights, ask for the price privately"
, the old man actually thought about this. After the song became popular, he has communicated with the original author several times through emails from November 2, 2019. , Said that he wanted to buy the exclusive copyright of this song (in fact, the old uncle's letter was sent by a friend, maybe because he can't speak English)
old uncle asked the other party to make a price and wanted to buy the exclusive copyright. As for why you want to buy this exclusive copyright? Just think: If this beat is constantly downloaded and applied by other people, is it a bit of a toad squatting on the back of the instep-not biting and responding?
But I got the reply from the other party: No, buddy, just use the unlimited of 99 dollars! Exclusive, I still don’t want to sell
brother? ? Didn't you say that if you want to buy an exclusive one, you chatted privately with you? Chatting with you privately, all your pants are taken off, you just show me this?
The old gem is also a person who doesn’t give up easily. He realized that the other party might want a big number, but he was embarrassed to open his mouth, so he took the initiative to puncture this layer of window paper: as long as you make a price, you can top it. Brother will never lower the price!
Then Ihaksi was not polite, and I replied an email on the 7th: It's okay, this beat is not popular, you just buy the non-exclusive version! And if I sell you the exclusive ones, then the non-exclusive ones I sold before will not come back. Besides, even if you really want to sell, then I will definitely ask for a high price, not worth it! You might as well take a look at some of my new creations, they are more worthwhile!
It can be seen that at this time, Ihaksi, who is far away in Northern Europe, may not realize that the e-mail with him is Wuli National Uncle. What's the matter with my old uncle? Is it possible that he is short of money?
It’s worth noting that Ihaksi's emails back to the old man were quite timely. The emails sent on the 2nd will be returned on the 3rd, and the emails sent on the 4thIhaksi disappeared after the 7th reply, but the old uncle replied to him on the 7th, reiterating that "money is not a problem"; after a week, the 14th, the old uncle sent a letter again : "How much is it, brother, can you give me a nice talk?" Why are you asking for such a price? After the last reply on the 7th,
Ihaksi continued to chirp until the 25th. It took more than two weeks before he replied to a new email. The email said: I’m sorry, the exclusive version of this beat has been sold for 5,000 US dollars.
This wave of Sao operation owners really can’t understand: If the exclusive version of 5,000 US dollars was sold on Beatstars at the beginning, then old Uncle was blind and didn't see it? Even if the old uncle was blind, when the old uncle contacted Ihaksi for the first time, why didn't Ihaksi directly remind the old uncle: There is a clearly marked price on Beatstars bro, 5,000 US dollars! (The picture below shows that Ihaksi’s other latest beats have added this $5,000 option)
But when the old man bought it, including when communicating with Ihaksi about the exclusive copyright, is there a $5,000 option under this Beat? I know it, because this beat has been taken off the shelves, and the webpage is 404.
Ihaksi, this bro is also: 5000 US dollars, less than 40,000 yuan, what are you holding there? I don’t know, I thought you were going to save 50 million.
. The most important thing is: Brother, what are you doing these two weeks? ? In fact, Ihaksi has not been idle for the past two weeks. Remember that the honey we mentioned just now exists in "Masima"? Ihaksi has been entangled by them all this time. On November 14, Ihaksi signed an exclusive agreement with Massima,
. Why is it such a coincidence? What a coincidence. The old uncle also received a strange invitation from Massima during this time, saying that a Taiwanese contacted him and wanted to sing a Hokkien dialect "Wild Wolf Disco", and asked for a huge share of
Mingren Don’t talk secretly, let’s look at the chat log, "Hurry up and cooperate with me! Give me money! Do you want to look good~~~"
We have already contacted Ihaksi to sue you! Just wait for the lawsuit if you don't give money! (The version even spread on the Internet is that Ihaksi has already contacted the domestic lawyer and is about to sue the old uncle)
By the way, the magical company "Maxima" is really a very nasty existence?
Is it legendary? Professional plaintiff, also known as: professional householder?
step back ten thousand steps and said, even if Massima really grabbed the exclusive copyright of this beat in front of my uncle, from the previous mail exchanges between Ihaksi and my uncle, we can know that the unlimited commercial copyrights that have been purchased cannot be recovered. Yes, so my uncle will continue to use it. It should be fine
. But this thing is disgusting. The unlimited version of 99 dollars, although when I bought it on the website, it said that it can be used for commercial performances
. In the shopping cart, if you pay attention to the previous step, there is actually a small print next to it. After opening this section, the full version of the lease is displayed. And this full version of leaSe also said: unlimited use in non-profit situations. But at the same time, it is also said that users can get paid during the performance
That is to say: if the old man is a non-profit performance such as the 315 party or charity donation party, it is possible, and the party organizer will show the old man. Fees are also allowed. So it’s true that the old man earns appearance fees. The fault is that he can’t participate in for-profit activities. Therefore, the "New Rap in China" that my uncle participated in, the New Year's Eve party and the Spring Festival Gala that David viewed, may not be regarded as non-profit occasions
. If you insist on saying that the old uncle is "violating the rules", you can only participate in the for-profit party Violation, use any other time, all! Hey! regulation!
Moreover, the old uncle also donated the copyright income of this song to medical staff and family members in Wuhan
But yesterday, this matter ushered in a reversal: the original author of the beat Ihaksi posted a video! ! ! "Which critic says that I am going to sue my uncle? The copyright bought for $99 is also copyright! A tortoise sun cheated Laozi before and recorded a video proving that I am me and I am the original creator of beat. Who is spreading rumors that I am going to sue someone Already???"
understand? ? ? Taiwan compatriot Mr. Chen (the person in charge of Massima company) did not play with the sorrow of the pure Nordic people at all, and fell into the sleeve without knowing it, and was turned into a gun by someone
. Although the prelude beat part of the song is nice, it has also been modified by the old man; besides, the most magical brainwashing of the whole song is not painting dragons and rainbows? ?
Today’s melons are eaten here. I hope that the virus will quickly disperse like those superficial monsters!
