Chapter 1231 NET

August 17, 1998.

On the eve of the first round of the second round of the Full Score global tour, the final equipment adjustments were being carried out in the gymnasium. Accompanied by the loud sound of switching switches, the stage lights kept changing, and several workers squatted on the edge of the stage to check the dry ice spraying device.

Song Ya ran out from the backstage, squinted his eyes and looked around for a while. The beauty "falling from the sky" link in the song Earned It was still preserved, so he had to personally ask about the safety of the sling, and he had already developed a habit.

"OSS..."

Hayden called him in. A few hours ago, the Arkansas commander had just finished his testimony before the grand jury. He once again denied having a relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, completely ending this absurd farce.

"Enough! I'm going to say...enough! Time to call it a day! The House of Representatives should move immediately to close the Whitewater Special Counsel's Office... NOW!"

Donkey Party politicians expressed their support one after another, and Underwood also delivered an impassioned speech in Congress, "Nearly 80 million, Prosecutor Starr and his team have spent nearly 80 million dollars for all Americans Years of public money, taxpayer money wasted on his cheesy rants and partisanship!"

"Hahaha……"

Song Ya, Hayden, and the visiting 3DFX company CEO McLaren laughed after reading the news, "Have you seen enough jokes here in the UK? McLaren...Sir." He took the noble title of Knight achelor, which seems to be the lowest level of lord? I don't understand, in short, the size is also a lord.

Last year, the Americans were crazy about gossip, conspiracy theories, and various attacks on the British royal family about the death of the former princess in a car accident.

"The tech industry is still very supportive of him and Deputy Gore."

McLaren is rather old-fashioned and did not comment on the field of gossip, "ALUS, Sega's new generation of game console Dreamcast will be launched at the end of the year, and our business will take a big step forward, thanks to you, If you hadn't gone to Tokyo to convince Mr. Renzu Shoichiro..."

"It's a thing of the past."

Song Ya smiled and waved his hands, and took the documents he handed over. Sega’s new game console, referred to as DC, just disclosed some technical details not long ago. The CU uses Hitachi’s SH4, Yamaha’s XG sound card, and the display chip is equipped with 3DFX Voodoo3. In fact, it is a special customized version of 3DFX for the needs of Sega, borrowing the name of the next generation version of the Voodoo card to bluff people.

The actual function of Voodoo3 is almost slightly stronger than Voodoo2, the most high-end 3D display chip in the civilian market, but it has been specially optimized for DC game consoles. The improvement is even greater, barely keeping up with the mainstream level of 3DFX's 2D shortcomings.

The book strength of this configuration has completely crushed Sony's S game console. Affected by this good news, the stock prices of 3DFX, Sega, NEC, Hitachi, Yamaha and other related companies have risen sharply, because Sony's S2 does not seem to be there yet.

"Our Voodoo3 chip will be manufactured by NEC in this book."

McLaren said: "Actually, the successor of Voodoo2 will be Voodoo4, which will be launched next year, depending on the situation of competing products on the market."

"OK, I understand."

3DFX has developed smoothly. As a leading company in the industry, not only McLaren has won the title, but other technicians have also won related technology awards. "What are the trio doing?" Song Ya asked.

The stocks owned by the trio had passed the lock-up period earlier. After Song Ya kicked the loudest Ross out of the board, the other two were a little more honest, but Ross had said more than once that he was going to leave, and tried to bring the two old brothers Let's go together.

"The market value has seen two billion,

I should be reluctant to leave for the time being..."

McLaren is also a little worried about this matter, "We still need the technical strength of the three of them, especially CTO Scott, who is nervously presiding over the development of the Voodoo4 chip."

"Okay, I see."

Song Ya touched her chin, planning to find an opportunity to divide the trio.

"boss……"

Hayden focused on changing the channel beside him, and when he found something he wanted to watch, he gave a reminder.

‘No Electronic Theft! No Electronic Theft! '

The star protest organized by Universal Inspiration also started as scheduled. The star-studded Hollywood rally scene was led by Metallica frontman Hetfield, shaking his fist and shouting slogans into the microphone.

No Electronic Theft is the prohibition of electronic theft passed last year. It was proposed by Rep. Goodlatte of the Elephant Party of Virginia. It is mainly to set criminal penalties for emerging infringements in the digital field. chia bug'.

In an early La Machia case, although La Machia, an MIT student, distributed a large amount of infringing content, he did not gain any benefits from the act itself, so the presiding judge believed that the criminal law at that time was not yet Applicable to non-commercial infringements, non-commercial means that La Machia himself did not obtain any benefits from these torts, so La Machia was acquitted.

The impact of this case is very bad. The infringer itself has no benefit, but the arbitrary distribution of digital copyright will cause a lot of economic losses to the copyright owner. Therefore, the new law on prohibiting electronic theft came into being. It stipulates:

Obtaining one or more copies of a copyrighted work by copying or distributing, including by any digital means, within one hundred and eighty days is punishable as long as the value of the case is more than $1,000, regardless of whether the infringer has benefited from it gain personal benefit.

The stars wore uniform white T-shirts with three big black letters 'NET' on the chest.

It seems that Universal is dissatisfied with the newly finalized Digital Millennium Law, and wants to expand on the basis of prohibiting electronic theft, such as reducing the amount of conviction from $1,000 to the price of a single when Internet users share music? And then expand the enforcement object to the website or the whole OS?

The rich third generation is a bit of an overturned table, which means that everyone should stop eating.

Shania Twain, the country queen of Universal, was standing in the front of the protest crowd, twisting and clapping to the music at the venue. She has a lot of influence on conservative white people...

Song Ya let out an unhappy tsk, and stroked his fingers over his eyebrows, "Isn't the metal band owned by Warner Records? Why are they so active?"

Is Time Warner going to change the previous ambiguous attitude? He was thinking wildly.

"There are many people in the entertainment industry responding, and Hollywood and the recording industry are not good enough to prohibit artists from participating in activities that protect their own interests...Basically, there are people from various companies in Hollywood and the recording industry."

Hayden explained: "And when Doug Morris was in charge of Warner Records, he gave Metallica a very generous super fat deal, and it's normal for them to pay back this time."

"We do not accept the Digital Millennium Act! Oppose! Oppose! Gentlemen of Capitol Hill, please listen to our voice! Use the power given to you by the people and vote no!"

"No Electronic Theft! No Electronic Theft!" Metallica frontman Hetfield yelled in his provocative rock voice.

"The protests are expected to continue for some time until the House of Representatives votes on the Digital Millennium Act," Hayden said.

McLaren nodded, "The timing is good, just as the Lewinsky case is over."
