While Wang Shaocong found a seat and sat down.
This lawsuit, which has been the subject of constant public opinion, has officially begun.
Just follow the routine process.
The lawyers on both sides began to engage in a verbal battle.
"Your Honor, fellow judges, I do not agree with the other party's claim that 'Nirvana' is a copy of 'Samsara'. As we all know, the gaming world is a melting pot, and all the elements in this melting pot are common. Yes, I do not deny that 'Nirvana' borrowed some game elements from 'Samsara' to some extent, but isn't borrowing the most common thing in game development? Not only in game development, but also in many other creations, there is inevitably a certain amount of borrowing!"
"Just like the many games released by Tencent Games, are there no references in the market? Yes, and quite a few, but that is far from enough to be labeled as plagiarism, so Tencent Games often does not choose to file a lawsuit, because we know very well that plagiarism and reference are qualitatively different!" The representative lawyer of Tencent's legal department argued for his own statement.
And in the audience.
Suddenly, there was a loud and shameless sound.
Those games that Tencent did not sue were all of a small ilk, and in a certain definition, those games do not constitute plagiarism, so why should Tencent's games be sued?
You know, Tencent, which started out as a copycat company, can't tolerate being copied the most. Not to mention being copied on a large scale, Tencent has never given up on suing for compensation as long as it can find any clue that can prove the other party has plagiarized!
If you really want to count, Tencent has received a lot of compensation in recent years just by suing for plagiarism!
This also means that all R&D teams or companies that will have market competition with Tencent's products will try their best to avoid the possibility of being caught by Tencent from the beginning!
Because everyone knows that if Tencent catches any evidence, the result will be that both the wife and the army will be lost, and the reputation of Tencent's legal department will only continue to grow!
Therefore, in recent years, only Tencent has copied others, and no one else dares to copy Tencent!
Based on this well-known background, when hearing Tencent's legal department lawyer brazenly say such shameless words, not only did the people in the audience get agitated, but even the chief judge and the jury members in the courtroom couldn't help but tremble. "Silence!"
Amid the commotion, the presiding judge finally looked toward the gallery and dropped the gavel.
The commotion stopped.
Tencent's legal department continues to make its case.
"If plagiarism is defined as similarity of certain elements, the courts will have to deal with countless plagiarism lawsuits every day! For example, the PK mode, team mode or game store in the game are the most common and exist in most games. As the game team that originally developed these modes, can they file a lawsuit for infringement under the banner of protecting their rights? Obviously, this is impossible and unrealistic!"
"Looking at the entire game market, games of the same type are almost all the same. If we really want to implement that hasty definition of plagiarism, then I think the number of games that can still remain in the game market can be counted on one's fingers!
In the judgement seat.
All the staff frowned.
Tencent Legal Department, this is clearly a substitution of concepts.
Shen Yao, who had always been as calm as a mountain, stood up in the plaintiff's seat.
Regarding these opinions and concepts put forward by Tencent's legal department.
Their Royal Court Law Firm had already anticipated this.
"Your Honor, members of the jury, the defendant's statement is a typical case of mistaking concepts! I believe you have all reviewed the materials we submitted, so the relationship between 'Nirvana' and 'Reincarnation' is far from as simple as the other party's lawyer said! Can the so-called PK mode, team mode, game store, etc. be compared with the issue of 'Nirvana' and 'Reincarnation'? No, those are completely different concepts. If 'Nirvana' only refers to some game elements of 'Reincarnation', then I believe that the Qianlong Game Company that commissioned us would not sue, but 'Nirvana' and 'Reincarnation' are far from being summarized by borrowing some game elements!"
"From the game mode to the game background, to the game operation and so on, it is almost completely copied. It is like a literary work being translated into Chinese. The outline, details and plot development are the same, but some textual changes and name changes have been made. Is this a completely new original work? Doesn't this constitute plagiarism? Similarly, if 'Samsara' is likened to a novel, then 'Nirvana' has undoubtedly plagiarized the outline, details and plot of 'Samsara'!"
"Therefore, I hope that all members of the jury will treat the opposing lawyer's reversed concept with caution. Their statement is completely illogical. If we use the plagiarism standard they advocate, can it be explained like this... All the words used in all literary works in the world are from the Xinhua Dictionary, so there is no plagiarism between literary works, only reference. If it really constitutes plagiarism, it is the Xinhua Dictionary that plagiarized. If the Xinhua Dictionary wants to sue, everything related to words in the world will have to compensate the Xinhua Dictionary! How can such a statement stand up?"
There was no sign of stage fright at all.
Even though she was facing the legal department of Tencent, Shen Yao's face was full of sarcasm and mockery at this moment.
After saying that.
Then look towards the people in Tencent's legal department.
"No matter how you say you are the famous Tencent Legal Department, how did you come up with such a trick of replacing the concept and putting the cart before the horse? If this gets out, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"
Bang
The gavel sounded in the judge's seat.
"Plaintiff's lawyer, please follow the rules and don't say anything that has nothing to do with my trial!"
"Sorry, sorry!" Shen Yao nodded slightly and smiled, bowing towards the judge's seat.
At that time.
The Tencent legal department lawyer's expression did not change at all because of Shen Yao's defense, and he slowly shook his head.
"Speaking of changing the concept, I'm afraid you guys are the real ones. First of all,
We have not advocated the use of Xinhua characters
A classic example, secondly -
Literary works are different from games.
's genre, this is simply outrageous! In addition, Qianlong Games Company sued us for plagiarism, what is the point of your lawsuit? Also, you claim that 'Nirvana' plagiarized the outline, details, story development of 'Reincarnation', where did you get this from? I want to ask one thing, how did 'Nirvana' plagiarize 'Reincarnation'? '
After saying that, he did not forget to look at Shen Yao with a disdainful sneer.
