On November 27, according to the Xiaoxiang Morning News, qq Music issued an article saying, "'Custom Player' has been upgraded again, with many first-of-its-kind gameplay methods in the industry," which seems to be a response to plagiarism from NetEase Cloud Music's previous propaganda.

Previously, at noon on November 25, NetEase Cloud Music’s official account posted a long picture saying, “The continuous occurrences force us to appeal to you: please QQ Music immediately stop plagiarizing ‘innovation’ and borrowing from others. "Creativity" and "Update". "

It is reported that on October 28, NetEase Cloud Music fully launched the "DIY function" of the music player, which it said supports customizing photo backgrounds and changing the color of the film.

On November 23, the qq music 13.12.0 beta version was grandly updated with the "rich customization functions of the player".

On the 227th, qq Music issued an article saying: "'Custom Player' has been upgraded again, with many first-in-class gameplay methods in the industry."

stated in the article that qq Music will provide "the first in the industry to support the player to upload live photos, and AI to separate the front and back of photos." , supports customizing the player background color and brightness, the vinyl base plate supports uploading photo backgrounds, provides four vinyl styles, can set different transparency, customize the record speed, etc.

Compared with the "DIY function" of the music player launched by NetEase Cloud Music on October 28, which supports custom photo backgrounds and the ability to change the color of the plastic disc, the customization functions provided by QQ Music this time are significantly richer.

This is also regarded by many netizens as a response to NetEase Cloud’s “plagiarism” incident.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that in a long article on the 25th, NetEase Cloud Music also stated that QQ Music has repeatedly "plagiarized updates" to NetEase Cloud Music. Each update advocates innovation and creativity, but it is written between the lines. There are two words "plagiarism" on it.

Later, the official account of Kugou Music was suspected of "promoting" NetEase Cloud Music, saying, "Isn't it the DIY function of customizing the background of the player that I did first? I also did the DIY player competition. What kind of innovation is this? ?”

In this regard, You Yunting, senior partner of Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, said that it is difficult to learn from the user interface design and functions to protect rights. Only a large amount of plagiarism can constitute unfair competition in the sense of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. If Just imitating a few functions or interface designs of competitors is not enough for the court to determine that it constitutes unfair competition.

You Yunting said that the party who only claims that others have plagiarized does not rule out that it also borrowed the designs of other third parties. In litigation, the party accused of plagiarism usually also provides evidence, which makes the situation more complicated. Therefore, competitors imitating each other, as long as it is not particularly serious and large-scale plagiarism, is indeed ignored in current judicial practice, "because in many cases, if I copy you today, you may copy me tomorrow."
