Reborn multinational giant

The entry of Huizhong has made the reshuffle of the domestic video website industry more complicated. Whether it is iQiyi or Tencent Video, they are all waiting for it. I want to see what Youku Tudou will play after being controlled by Huizhong. brand!

Also waiting for the good show, there are many Youku and Tudou users, members, and many ordinary netizens who say that Huizhong is rich and powerful. Now Youku Tudou embraces Huizhong’s thighs, shouldn’t it also launch many preferential benefits, like Aiqi Like art, 1 cent to open annual membership or something!

Netizens waited left and right, but whether it was Youku or Tudou, it seemed that there was no change from the original. In the end, what was waiting was an announcement from both websites:

"Due to the increase in operating costs, starting from 0:00 on November 1, 2012, the membership fee of this website will be adjusted from 10 yuan to 15 yuan a month. Members opened before this will not be affected. After the membership expires, the fee will be 15 yuan. Standard monthly fee!"

Wow!

Now, whether it is the members, users of Youku Tudou, or many ordinary netizens, they are all fried!

"Funnyma's Youku Tudou has been merged without preferential activities and will increase prices and charges!"

"Hehe, Huizhong took 9.6 billion shares in Youku Tudou, and then the membership fee of Youku Tudou increased. This is to make money from us!"

"Sure enough, all capitalists have the same virtue, Fang Zhe is really disgusting!"

"Whoever tells me that Huizhong is rich and powerful, the Tamar who I beat will not know him!"

"Lao Tzu membership expires next month, goodbye, Lao Tzu will not renew!"

"People didn't force you to open a membership. You can't open a membership. Anyway, I have just renewed a membership for one year, so he is so rich!"

Netizens scolded the announcements listed by Youku Tudou. After all, this is a real way to get money from their pockets. Very few people support and applaud!

Compared with the scolding from netizens, competitors iQiyi and Tencent Video are quite cautious about this. Youku Tudou dared to do this, it must be holding some big tricks, otherwise users will be driven out. Ran.

Sure enough, on November 1st, when many Youku Tudou users logged on to the two websites, they suddenly discovered that both websites have undergone revision and upgrades, except for the major changes in the layout of the entire website. There are also many new channels in the column. The most prominent one is VIP membership!

When the user clicks on the VIP membership, the pages and layout of the entire website are completely different from those of ordinary users!

Use three words to describe the VIP member's page, that is "Gao Da Shang"!

Watching full-screen VIP movies, VIP TV series, VIP animation, VIP variety shows, etc., members-only 720P, Blu-ray video, many Youku and Tudou members, I feel like a privileged class in my heart.

As for ordinary users who have not opened a membership, this will be even more murmur and regret. If they knew that they had opened a membership before, wouldn’t it be 10 yuan a month? A pack of cigarette money, if you want to open it now, It costs 5 yuan more, that entanglement.

Of course, most ordinary users still stick to the mentality of not spending money. Since there are free TV shows and movies to watch, why do you want to spend money? Just free is enough for yourself!

Until, when they clicked on the TV series that were being broadcast on the free channel, they suddenly discovered that many of the latest episodes of the series can only be watched by members.

Fuck, ordinary users hate Youku Tudou's routine to the point of scolding their mothers. For the drama chasing party, not seeing the latest episodes is simply a torture, but after going through several video sites, this drama is only Youku Only available on potatoes and potatoes!

Slowly, many users finally understand where Huizhong spends so much money. It turned out to be spent on the exclusive copyright of many dramas and on the copyright of many fine movies.

What's more, in the VIP member channel, netizens found that there are many more popular foreign dramas, such as "Game of Thrones", "Bankrupt Sisters", "The Walking Dead", "The Big Bang Theory", and the Korean drama "The Moon Embracing the Sun". Miss you" etc.

Variety channels, popular variety shows "Where are you going, Dad" and "RunningMan" that are currently broadcasting in South Korea are also updated simultaneously. In addition, it is also reported that Youku Tudou has partnered with Mango Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV and other star TV stations to buy these variety shows. The introduction of copyright, the production and broadcasting of the same type of variety shows in China!

Damn, so many great dramas, I want to open a membership!

Many netizens suddenly felt that the members of Youku Tudou are far different from before. They are really worth the money. In contrast, even members of iQiyi and Tencent Video only need a penny, but those Rubbish drama, I'm not interested in watching it at all!

There are also some opportunistic users who want to find pirated resources on the Internet, but they only found out that many previously commonly used pirated websites will either be blocked or have no video resources on Youku Tudou.

Youku Tudou’s public relations department has long released a ruthless statement: "Zero tolerance for pirated resources. Any company or individual disseminating pirated resources must be prepared to endure prison!"

Baidu, which originally supported iQiyi behind the scenes, also wanted to turn a blind eye to the pirated resources circulated on its own Baidu cloud, but when President Li had a letter signed by Fang Zhe on his desk, Baidu was in All the pirated resources related to Youku Tudou's copyright were cleaned up in the shortest time with their own "outstanding" technical means, which can be described as sealing one by one!

This letter of warning was drafted jointly by the Legal Department of Huizhong and the Legal Department of Youku Tudou. The above briefly mentioned the evidence of infringement of a series of Baidu related products such as Baidu Search, Baidu Cloud and Baidu Zhizhi collected by Huizhong. If the infringement cannot be stopped and prevented, Huizhong and Baidu can only meet in court!

Baidu is not afraid of litigation. Even if large companies are afraid of litigation, the copyright lawsuit involved in the letter of warning is associated with dozens of well-known companies at home and abroad. The total compensation amount is hundreds of millions of dollars. If you are not afraid, Then Fang Zhe doesn't mind asking Google back, so that everyone can change to a search engine that protects copyright!

The news of Youku Tudou has been spread lively on the Internet for half a month before it slowly cooled down. From the beginning of the merger of the two companies, to Huizhong’s shareholding, to the price increase of Youku Tudou members, the revision of Youku Tudou, and the introduction of a large number of boutique movies Resources, as well as the excitement seen by the legal profession and copyright practitioners, all kinds of lawsuits have been raged. One family of pirated websites, in the face of the strong legal team and execution efficiency of Huizhong and Youku Tudou, shut down in minutes.

In mid-November, Youku Tudou, together with iQiyi, Tencent Video, Sohu Video, and many other video websites, jointly launched a joint statement on "Severely Cracking Down on the Dissemination of Pirated Films and Televisions and Protecting Original and Genuine Rights". The piracy resources of the entire network are brightening the sword, so that netizens across the country are excited. Youku Tudou has also begun to show the momentum and pattern of the industry!

A netizen said with emotion: "From now on, pirated resources are gone forever!"

"How is it possible that I can't watch small movies, I have them on Baidu network disk, send you!"
