In New Zealand, the Intellectual Property Protection Act -1994 gives intellectual property owners relevant rights over their works, including how to authorize the use, reproduction, redistribution or communication to the public.
Moreover, when the rights and interests of an intellectual property owner are infringed or infringed, the owner can file a lawsuit with the intellectual property court against the infringing party in accordance with this law and claim his legitimate rights and interests.
Robert and Anthony both know this, and every native New Zealander knows this. When they were in school, they were taught to respect knowledge and intellectual property rights, but this does not prevent them from using this to make money.
The Asian Music Piracy Factory has been established for almost ten years. It is unknown how much pirated music has been spread in New Zealand through Robert's hands, but their factory has always been standing in the pasture and has not been closed down.
The reason why this can be done is generally believed to be that Robert works in a low-key manner and distributes profits evenly, but Robert and Anthony know that is not the case. The most important reason is that no one will pursue it.
When New Zealanders heard these strange English music, they didn't know the source. They just thought it was the street singer's own creation. The Chinese immigrants do know, but they are immigrants and do not want to confront the local forces. Besides, it has nothing to do with them.
After putting two large boxes of records on the car that was being transported to the city, Anthony went to find Robert and said uneasily: "Old man, those two bastards Bass and Williams have left town. Will they go to Sunset Town?" ?”
Robert looked gloomy and said: "I believe they don't have the courage to take refuge with a foreign Chinese? Ha, if they choose this, I can only say that they are stupid enough!"
Anthony looked at him and said: "You know what I mean, man, I'm worried that they will tell the Chinese about our production line. You know where our music copyrights belong, and he will have reason to deal with us."
Robert waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Kyle, Kyle, Kyle! When did you become such a sissy? Worry about this, worry about that, why not worry about the end of the world?"
Seeing that Anthony was not convinced, he continued: "Listen, first of all, I don't believe Bass and Williams dare to do this. They are stupid enough to seek refuge with the Chinese. If they still expect the Chinese to fight against us, ? That’s hopelessly stupid!”
"Secondly, what if the Chinese know that we have this production line? Believe me, the Chinese are all bleating sheep. They are as good as five or six-year-old girls. You know that every time they buy our records Who has the most? It’s the Chinese immigrants!”
"Even if they go to the Chinese, and the Chinese want to do it with us, then let them do it. He is not the holder of these copyrights. The copyrights of these music are in a mess, and no one will pursue them at all. If someone does pursue them, , then let’s have a better attitude and let this matter be reconciled?”
Although copyright protection is taken seriously, in New Zealand, most copyright disputes do not need to be brought to court.
In more cases, when the intellectual property rights held by New Zealand government agencies or companies, groups and individuals are infringed, they can contact the infringers and inform them of the infringement. In the case of friendly communication, Solve problems through negotiation.
Only when the infringing party shows an attitude of indifference, indifference or deliberate neglect will the negotiated settlement turn into legal action.
Anthony hesitated for a while, and finally nodded and said: "Okay, old man, you are right, you are always the right side. But I want to say, five or six-year-old girls are not good, they are very naughty. "
As he said this, the two laughed together, obviously they thought it was a good witticism.
But it didn't take long for them to stop laughing. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the mayor's office, they saw the Ford van that had previously been responsible for delivering pirated music CDs returned to the town, along with a police car.
Wang Bo was sitting in the passenger seat of his off-road vehicle. Uncle Bing drove seriously into Tahiti Town and approached the government office building. He jumped out of the car and looked at the second floor. He happened to see Jingnuo through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The intersection of Robert and Anthony.
Looking at each other, Lao Wang smiled, then waved enthusiastically to the people upstairs and said, "Mayor Robert, Sheriff Anthony, come down quickly, I have something to inform you."
The two of them had a bad feeling in their hearts and rushed down quickly. Robert shouted sharply: "Chinese, what are you doing in my town?"
Wang Bo signaled him not to be anxious and said: "Mayor, there is something good I want to invite you to participate in. Why don't you get in the car with me and take a look? I bet you will thank me then, because you are going to make a contribution! "
Anthony looked at the Ford van with a livid face. He wanted to scold the driver inside, but he found that the driver had changed. A handsome young man with a strong temperament was driving. The two looked at each other, and he found that the other person's eyes were cold.
"Where is the driver of this car?" Anthony asked anxiously.
Wang Bo pointed to the transport lane: "You mean this car? Oh, the driver has been detained. He is suspected of engaging in illegal transport for a long time and many times. But this has nothing to do with us. Come with me, man, I will take you to make meritorious service. .”
Robert grabbed him in shock and anger, and shouted: "What are you doing, Chinese, don't mess around in my territory! What achievements are you taking me to accomplish?"
Wang Bo said with a smile: "You may not know, mayor, there is an illegal underground factory in your town. Yes, you heard it right, an illegal pirated music factory! After me and the homeless policeman Laren Thanks to the joint investigation of Chang and Sheriff Smith of Aocheng, the location of this factory has finally been determined. Now, I just want to take you to close the net and give you a huge credit!"
Both Robert and Anthony felt something bad in their hearts. They were shocked and angry. The former winked and the latter said calmly: "What illegal factory? If there is one, we will definitely know..."
"Yes, but you are deceived, right? You don't know. If you don't believe me, come with me. I will show you, and you will know how much to thank me. I have to say, man, you are going to be popular this time." Wang Beau smiled warmly.
Without giving the two a chance to continue questioning, he got into the car and motioned Uncle Bing to drive out. Robert and Anthony quickly drove to follow. Anthony pointed at the Ford truck behind and asked: "Damn it, Mayor, what should I do with this car?"
Robert said angrily: "Why do you care about this damn rotten car? Go see our production line first!" (.)
