Going Into the World!

"Nowadays, if you pay for an album, it'll take less than a day for your music files to go online. People just take away the results of their hard work for free. No one can do anything about it, so many times both singers and producers are devastated. But at least I don't think that's going to happen in Warner Music anymore."

Justin gets lucky, looks at me and pulls back to his side. I stepped forward to explain further. Reporters are attracted to me, and some of them are complaining about why they keep moaning so much. Khl ~, I'm in a hurry...

"Napster closed last month, but in fact, there were so many similar sites that nothing particularly changed. However, singers and composers who contract with Warner music don't have to worry about that at all. As hard as you try, you will be rewarded."

What is important here is the 'price'. There are, of course, those who suffer the consequences of illegal replication. Now that it's on the publishing ethnic Internet, who's going to buy the album? Even with the money, if you buy a CD, there is a hassle of having to convert it into an MP3 file. Nowadays, hit albums have decreased sales by more than usual.

Today, even the singers at the press conference promised to prevent illegal sharing in Warner Music by more than 99%, so they did not believe it at first. However, everyone was surprised that I invited them to the headquarters to demonstrate, but there's no denying that they can get more money for the same effort. Madonna publicly accused of illegal sharing, but after I told her that I would let all of Madonna's songs disappear from the Internet from today, she followed me here wondering what to do.

Of course, he also offered several other carrots, on the condition that he would eventually pay between 10 and 20 percent of the additional income.

"What's that supposed to mean? How do we get rid of illegal sharing?"

"Tell me exactly. What did you find out?"

"What legislation was passed? No, you said Warner Music only."

Reporters and people make wild assumptions, but they don't seem to get the feeling. It is said that the white paper is worth something. You turned on the projector prepared on one side to show the demonstration.

"Look this way, please. So, here's a generation of computers. If any of you can download and play one of the songs from Madonna's hit album two months ago, I'll give you 100,000 dollars on the spot. If you download two songs, I'll give you 200,000, three songs for 300,000. Do you have any volunteers?"

As I was speaking, I picked up Director Crimson's 007 bag and put it in front of my desk. People are wondering what I'm doing, and when I open the bag, there's a bunch of $100 bills in it, bundled up in bundles of 100 bills, a total of a million dollars.

"Here's $1 million in cash. 10 bundles per song, 100,000 dollars."

"Oh-oh."

"Wow, this is real, right?"

"Huff, is it $100,000 per song?"

"I have to lose!"

"Wait!"

"Oh, what's wrong with you?"

"You don't know how to use your computer!"

"Can we do this together?"

"Does that make sense? No way?"

People shuffle my words at first, then show me the $100 bills I dug up, suddenly pushing forward to take over each other's place. There are over 100 people gathered in the conference room, but there are only generations of computers. Of course, people flip over for 100,000 dollars a grain. Most people have music files on the Internet these days, but I think one of the 15 songs in the album will be downloaded.

"Wait a minute! Is this some sort of download prevention program on your computer?"

"Huh? Right! It could happen, right?"

"Yes! What? So this is a trick?"

"Ah, but do I have to cheat at Johnston Group?"

"Those three sitting there, are they weaving?

"No way, one must be a journalist. I saw it the other day, but..."

Everyone assisted with the question raised by one person, but the people who slightly flipped their eyes for $100,000 raised a little suspicion. First they say computers are tricks, and now even the three people who took them quickly are fakes. Honestly, I don't even know these people, and I'm always suspicious in front of cash.

These are the reporters. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I doubt that much, by the way, but I'm concerned that just proceeding reduces the dramatic effects. '

I feel like the event that needs to go smoothly has suddenly become dull. I was a little hesitant about the eyes of those who looked at me with their doubts and complaints. I hesitated and changed my mind and called on my cell phone.

John?! What's going on all of a sudden?]

[Thomas, you ready?]

[Of course. Don't worry. Then why?]

[People here are suspecting that they're running an event with only a computer generation, so what should we do?]

I explained things to Thomas. He originally promised to be prepared for what would happen during the event.

[Well, tell anyone with a laptop to attend.]

What?! Can I do that?]

[John, you don't trust this Thomas? Not 100, not 1,000, not 10,000. We have 60,000 backup servers. We're only in the midst of a hundred. If you raise it to 10,000, honestly, 100,000 people will come and stay.]

You're not bluffing.]

[John!! It's Thomas, Thomas! Come on, just give me an hour and tell me to bring whoever I want. And raise it to $200,000 per transaction!]

Thomas listens to me, and instead of yelling at me, he says, "Get out of the fight! 'It is said in a tone. They're calling in more people, asking me to raise $200,000 a grain, and that's all I got. This guy's got nothing to lose anyway.

'He's not bragging about this... Why don't you shout it out loud?'

Why aren't you saying anything? You know me, don't you? You don't believe me?]

I am sad to see people preparing for the start of the event for a while under the stage, thinking that I don't believe in myself.

[Got it! Yeah, you're the man. Do you really believe in me? I told you to bring them all, so what if you bring in hackers?]

[Haha, it doesn't matter if you bring a hundred of his friends, not a hacker. It's not the size of an individual. The age of one genius over a server network is over because of us. Why don't you know John made them together?]

[Phew, this guy just swelled his liver beef. Okay, then I'll call you when the event starts.]

I hung up the phone and made up my mind. Even if it cost me a lot of money, I was hesitant to face myself if anyone downloaded a single song from being pierced right away, but I was relieved by Thomas' testimony.

"Hey, guys, wait a minute! I think a lot of you are very unhappy about giving three computers and three opportunities. So I changed my mind. The event will take place in the auditorium in the next two hours, so you can use your laptop, or if you're not confident in your computer, you can call anyone who's the best at computers. Whoever succeeds in downloading the file, we'll give half the money to the person and the person who brought it in."

Wow! Ahh!

I say people cheer. Older people were hesitant because they were not used to downloading music on the Internet, no matter if they called their children, relatives, or someone from the company. It's always halfway there.

"Oh, and the prize went up to 200,000 dollars a grain. It doesn't matter who you bring in, whether you bring in hackers. There are no conditions. No matter what method you use, if you succeed in downloading it from the Internet, you will be paid immediately."

When I'm done, the atmosphere rises. In the beginning, everyone is cheering with a completely different unconditional offer, thinking about who to call.

"Oh ho. This is worth it."

"Our company has a computer genius, and half a million dollars, right?"

"I specialize in downloading, hahaha."

"I only need one song. Heh heh. $200,000, though."

"Oh, who am I calling?"

Reporters, officials and general employees are now more interested in the event than in press conferences. Everyone thinks they can't download a song in this vast Internet world, and some talk like they're about to win a prize.

'Heheh heh. Idiots... Are you trying to make me pay for my madness? I'm never that good of a person.'

I laughed as hard as I could. But just in case, we need to pay close attention to Thomas. If you make a mistake, you may lose money.

I left the conference room and spent lunch with Turner in Case's office. They both ask me a lot of questions.

"John, is that going to increase sales of Warner music?"

"Yes, that's right. But that's not all. The number of CD sales that were reduced to illegal downloads is only 20 percent. Illegal MP3 sharing, on the other hand, has a positive effect on music."

Over the last two years, the music industry has been expanding its coalition lines to cope with illegal file-sharing sites such as napsters and more. As a result, Napster had to close the door, but the legal solution is time-consuming and not a good way to deal with websites that look like bamboo shoots.

For reference, people download music through an internet sharing site and it becomes an advertisement. In this case, there was a study that even negative records sales have a promotional effect on singers and songs.

"Then isn't there something groundbreaking?"

"That's not true. We found that sawshoppers' records will increase sales by at least 30 percent if they are not illegally shared. Unlike intermediate singers, once they come out, they sell quite a bit, and they quickly become a rumor. The point is that Warner Music is going to be full of sawdust. It's not going to be easy to pay 30 percent more for another record like Sony."

Actually, this is not all. Johnstone Entertainment has already developed the JTunes website and related software. Users can first listen to the songs registered on J-Tunes on the Internet. Once I heard about it, I could buy it if I liked, but I decided to pay $1-1.5 per piece or $10-15 for the album, depending on popularity.

This downloaded file contains a specific serial number and code that we can easily track on the Internet and interfere with sharing. In short, these coded files can be controlled enough to run 10 servers one by one.

The jTunes package includes the jtunes store, an easy-to-download manager and playback program for downloading and burning music files, and checkout, a legacy e-purchase system. Users registered here at MyWay and Google do not need to sign up for jTunes separately, "Connect? If I just click 'Yes' in the question, I made it so that I could register right away.

Due to this simple enrollment process, the planning team's expectation is that we will be able to easily get more than 20 million subscribers within a month. This is not a difficult goal when it comes to visitors from Google and Myway. There are already more than 70 million registered users on Myway and Google, and there may be better results considering the user base that is focused on teenagers to 20s.

Case, who heard my explanation, was surprised. A man who was president of America online, he soon realized what storm was coming with a system with a consistent ecosystem from content to promotion, consumption and distribution.

"You're amazing! How did you come up with all this in the meantime? I'm gonna scrape together some money this year. Phew."

"Is that so? Ha-ha."

Thanks to Case's compliment, I smiled. For the first time, I felt a look of respect. Hehe.

"When I said I was stopping file sharing, I was wondering how that could be possible, but I had a skeptical view that I wouldn't make that much money. Turns out, it's just a pre-stop for this kind of business model."

"That's right. Haha. In fact, if J-Tunes is to fly fast, music sharing has to be cut off. Or, no matter how convenient, would you buy it for a dollar for free? And frankly, it might be faster to download illegal music files from a PC than to pay for them at J-Tunes. You can go to Kazza and start singing right away, but it didn't take me more than a few minutes."

Case and I are having a serious conversation, and Turner yawns like he's no fun. Seriousness and brainstorming are hard for people who need action. Wait a little longer, my brother will have to do it again soon. Hehe.

After the story, I headed back to the event. I intend to attract people with a bundle of cash and introduce them to the services I have prepared, but none of them are easy for other companies to follow. No, some of it's impossible.

When I first showed Jobs the Jay Tunes ecosystem, I said, "This is what I wanted! 'I was amazed. Now, for the junk type who was just making iTunes out of a program purchased from SoundJam and stabilizing it, the package with everything in one integrated system was kind of shocking.

Online stores, powerful services and servers supporting them, over 70 million existing users, and music sharing blocking technology are all number-walled by applicants. Apple and Apple agreed to link our services to their iTunes and iPads and to help launch a program for Macintosh that was lacking.

Artwork Reviews

Companies that provide file-sharing programs or services like Napster and Kaza are often sued by record companies and film companies. Napster was defeated and completely shut down in December 2001, and Kaja was also defeated at the end of his struggle to get to the Supreme Court, and in July 2006 he paid $100 million in damages to four record companies, and separately paid to the filmmakers an undisclosed sum.

There are many reports on the impact of file sharing on record sales, some argue that it was promotional or not particularly influential. And that's especially true for anonymous musicians, and it had a negative impact on the record sales of well-known saw artists.

By the way, the iTunes Store was actually officially open in April 2003, and we already have a lead.
