Chapter 1217 Red Flag Principle

"OMG!"

Mira screamed to break the silence. She opened the door and saw that the man had moved the sofa to the window at some point, and was stuck in it, sitting blankly, looking out the window.

He also stole the lady's cigarettes he put on the table, carefully held the filter tip between his index finger and thumb, brought it to his mouth and took a sip, without even passing his lungs, and blew out the thick smoke as it was.

"It says Delay committed suicide!"

Meera shouted and read the newspaper in her hand, "Former Silicon Valley technology star, well-known singer Delay who has contributed many platinum-selling songs such as Rememer The Name and Where Is The Love... Oh my God! It's him! He died Already?!"

"I know Mira, Hayden called me early in the morning and told me cough..." Song Ya choked on his second-hand smoke and choked it out.

Meera continued, "DeLay, who is serving time on multiple charges, is cooperating with police after a physical altercation with two fellow inmates three hours before he hanged himself in the laundry room. Is the cause of death related to prison bullying... It's unbelievable, thinking about us and him... The moment we met in SK seems to be close at hand, when I sent a single to De Klerk, he was still my backing band member Well, I was traveling all over the country with him, that time... when we performed in Grant Park in Chicago, you were there, remember?"

"Don't read Mira, put away your memories, thieves don't deserve our sympathy..."

Song Ya got up impatiently, reached out and tore off the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, Xue Linfen followed her quietly at some point, and she picked up the newspaper on the floor that had a comparison between De Lay's glamorous performance and the photos of the court prison uniform, and carefully read the contents.

"Should we call his fiancée?" Meera remembered DeLay was about to marry his girlfriend. "Does he have any other family members? Erna... he and DeLay had the best relationship..."

"Don't pay attention to this matter, and don't answer any related questions from the reporter." Song Ya interrupted roughly, "Just pretend you don't know."

"Ho!"

Xue Linfen suddenly took a deep breath, and the newspaper slipped down again. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face became distorted due to suppressed fear or fear.

"Get a golf suit, I'm going out soon."

Song Ya stared at her twice and ordered.

"Oh, okay, I... I'll get it." Xue Linfen dodged her eyes, lowered her eyebrows and went to work.

"Hey! Hayden, Donovan!"

Fifteen minutes later, Song Ya walked out of the villa with her bag in her hand, "Did you prepare the equipment for me?" He had adjusted his mood and asked with great interest.

"Don't worry, it's in the trunk."

Neither agent mentioned anything related to Delay's death, and the old Mike drove all the way out of the San Marino estate.

"Daniel invites you to come over tonight, when Jared Leto will be there, and others, for a dinner party."

"Daniel's record company has just signed the rock band formed by Jared Leto and his brother, friends, etc. It seems that he has made up his mind. If the Cold Mountain project is won, he intends to support Jared Leto in the male role. Lord, when the time comes to release the album at the same time...it will be a good thing for his record company."

"Daniel is always like this. Yeremov should be very upset, but Xuelin doesn't have much opinion..."

"Grove Press still insists on waiting until August to decide on the ownership of the Cold Mountain project, and their position remains unchanged."

"Spike Lee has also chosen a good role, the male protagonist Terrence Howard of the 'Miracle' project, the female protagonist Halle Berry, and the second male actor Alan Rickman, an old British drama actor. He said that Alan Rickman and Harry Li is what you insist on."

"Eremov is going to wait for the conclusion of the Cold Mountain project before allocating resources to start construction. Spike Lee is waiting. He has already turned down the invitation for a play. If we break his promise and play him, he will definitely scold him haha."

"Old Larry...he didn't say it clearly, but he probably wanted to personally participate in the editing of the girl next door after he recovered from his illness. His illness is nothing serious.

Should be out of the hospital soon. We're going to visit him tomorrow, and you can talk to him yourself then. "

"Anschutz hopes that you will return to Europe as soon as possible next month to join the tour team. They suggested that the Cup of Life should be prepared in multiple languages. That song is very popular in Europe, but not everyone can understand Spanish..."

"The renovation of the Chicago Symphony Center was completed in early August. Mr. Barenboy invited you to attend the ceremony."

The three chatted about work along the way, changed their clothes after arriving at the golf club, and then met their old friend Linton, the president of Disney Copyright Company.

'boom! '

Linton hit the ball far away, and after changing clubs, he strolled forward side by side with Song Ya. He turned his head and saw that Hayden, Donovan and his men were far behind, so he pointed with his golf club. The small flag at the entrance of the cave said: "If something is obvious, flying high like a red flag, we can't pretend to ignore it, or use ignorance as an excuse to shirk responsibility..."

"If you're implying that DeLay committed suicide, I'd say that's completely irrelevant to me. I've been told that he had a nervous breakdown under constant bullying from fellow inmates."

Song Ya immediately refuted very sensitively.

"NO!"

Instead, Linton smiled inscrutablely, "I'm referring to the Millennium Act, aren't we going to talk about it today?"

"Uh... how to say?"

"I know what the Internet industry is going to do. They want to blackmail us into a deal with the Mickey Mouse Act, right?" Linton asked.

"I talked to them before I came here. There is a basis for cooperation between Disney and the Internet industry. The Mickey Mouse Act and the Digital Millennium Act were passed at the same time, which is good for everyone." Song Ya persuaded.

"Otherwise? Hehe, don't be too positive, don't be too positive ALUS, you don't need to charge forward like little Bronfman, and I don't need to, you know I just jumped out of the fire pit of Hollywood film industry last year, this piece Things are also taken over halfway.”

Linton walked onto the green, stood in front of his ball, focused on aiming, and adjusted the angle of the shot, "This kind of major bill confrontation related to the future of the industry, our personal strength is very small, and the publicity is left to Bronfman Jr. That kind of big guy."

"I know that I don't have the strength and heritage of the Bronfman family, and I don't have a good father who enjoys high prestige among your Jewish community..."

Song Ya said: "I just came to help Netscape, AOL, and YAHOO spread the word. They know that we have a good relationship, that's all. And the booming Internet revolution is a major achievement of the current government. Wall Street and even the people of the United States have benefited from it. A lot, the power behind me doesn't like being put on the shackles of copyright now... This is the unanimous opinion of the industry."

"You should tell Mr. Eisner in person." Linton easily hit the ball into the hole, "Shall I make an appointment for you?"

"No, I don't dare to meet another emperor again, for fear of backfire. To tell you the truth, I don't even know how to offend our young emperor around the world. How to deal with kings."

Song Ya said mockingly.

"ha!"

Linton used the club to maintain his balance, leaned over to take the ball out of the hole, and put it in his pocket, "I understand."

"So... what's your reply from Disney?"

"Copyright is the life of Disney, whether it is the Mickey Mouse Act in the traditional field, or the Digital Millennium Act that concerns the future."

Linton gestured that it was your turn to bat.

"Then I'll reply to them like this?" Song Ya's heart sank, and she stood in front of her ball and swung casually, the white golf ball rubbing against the hole and rolling away.

Linton sighed helplessly, "I've said everything I can say..."

"Okay, thanks anyway."

"I know Disney's asking price!"

When Song Ya went back to call Sloan in frustration, she suddenly interrupted very excitedly, "Red Flag Law! Linton is hinting at Red Flag Law!"

"What's the meaning?"

"If something is obvious and flies high like a red flag, we can't pretend to ignore it, or use ignorance as an excuse to shirk responsibility. This sentence comes from the Red Flag Law!"

Sloan said: "When the car was invented, the United Kingdom passed a red flag law, which stipulated that three people should drive a car, and one of them must walk in front of the car and hold the red flag. The car cannot exceed the red flag. It was abolished 30 years later. , because the future of automobile development was not clearly seen, the UK lost an early opportunity for the development of the automobile industry!"

"Sounds stupid."

"Not stupid!" Sloan objected, "If the spirit of this bill is translated to the Digital Millennium Act, that is to say, when infringements are so rampant that they fly high like a red flag, even if the copyright owner does not provide evidence to notify us OS vendors , we cannot turn a blind eye and no longer have the power to use the safe harbor clause to avoid liability."

"Ha, this kind of law will lead to a series of messy lawsuits in case law countries. How can it be proved that the infringement has been flying high like a red flag? Where is the red line defined? All the way to the Supreme Court for the justices to decide? "

Song Ya also went to law school, "Then our American music website still can't get an exemption."

"Conversely, thinking about ALUS, even if we haven't received a notice from the copyright owner, our OS can still use the red flag principle to delete the things uploaded by users. Combined with Article 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996, can we get whatever we want on our own website? For various reasons such as copyright infringement, inciting violence, spreading pornography, etc., delete the things posted by users.”

Sloan said: "You only need to surrender some of your freedom to traditional copyright owners such as Disney, and you can get greater media hegemony, don't you?"

"If it's realized according to Disney's idea..."

Song Ya asked: "Then before the bill takes effect, we must take the initiative to delete the infringing texts and songs published and uploaded by all users of the American music website, and lose a lot of clicks, and the stock price..."

"The Internet industry is experiencing a technological explosion, and we can always find other accommodations!" Sloan was also a little bit reluctant, and said through gritted teeth: "It doesn't matter if we delete it, it is very dangerous for our family to be sued by Universal. It's over."

"Damn rich three generations!"

Dilai's face appeared in Song Ya's mind again, if it wasn't for the third generation of the rich to send people to tease...

"Okay, well, anyway, we are only responsible for spreading the word, and let the bosses decide everything? Anyway, you should keep a low profile in Washington."

He agrees and reminds.
