But just like the crime of teaching criminal methods, with the passage of time and the rapid development of the Internet, the scope of these crimes has also expanded.
The production and operation behaviors in the Internet era are completely different from those in previous factories.
"For internet celebrities like Mr. Zhou, filming videos and posting them online for everyone to watch is a form of production and business operation!"
"By preemptively registering your trademark, they're trying to force you to cancel your account. This is actually disrupting your production and business operations!"
Huo Pengfei's words were a bit confusing and not as precise as Fang Dazhuang's, but Zhou Yi understood them.
Production and operation is a continuous concept, and it has taken on new connotations in the internet age. Therefore, disruption of this process should be subject to criminal penalties.
However, this is just a purely theoretical idea. If you want to convince the public security organs to file a case, relying on this mouth is definitely not enough.
"Mr. Zhou, do you think we should proceed with this matter? If we do, it will cost a lot of money because we have to prove that the other party's behavior has reached a serious level." Huo Pengfei continued.
As for how to judge the severity of the circumstances, it depends on judicial interpretation, such as causing losses of more than 5,000 yuan in public or private property, or disrupting production and operations more than three times, etc.
"Go ahead. I think this is definitely more than the first or second time they've done this kind of squatting. Money isn't a problem. It's just something they do."
Huo Pengfei nodded, with some excitement in his eyes. It seemed that this case had never happened before. So was this his first time?
Wow, Teacher Fang is so nice!
It would certainly not be convenient for Huo Pengfei to contact internet celebrities from all over the place by himself, but he could do so by borrowing Zhou Yi's account.
On the Internet, a big V has exposed the matter.
"I've been using this account for years, and I'm being sued for claiming it's not mine?"
This news has exploded the Internet like a bomb, and like Zhou's original video, it has become extremely popular.
The person who posted the video is an internet celebrity called Son of Death. In the video, he spoke about the incident in an extremely serious tone.
"Out of nowhere, I received a lawyer's letter demanding I stop using my account. Honestly, I was a bit panicked because I'm not Yi after all, and I've never encountered anything like this before."
"Later, I slowly researched and found that this situation is not uncommon among short video creators, because not everyone has this trademark awareness."
"I have now
I've been collecting evidence, because they're threatening to sue me. My overall thinking is that everyone should stay out of this online bullying situation, and I think it should be possible for me to get the trademark rights back."
"I just feel like... this is just a bunch of unnecessary trouble. It's like someone suddenly has a problem while you're sitting at home."
He is still lucky. After all, he is a well-known internet celebrity. Therefore, if he can prove that he is very influential and the other party is engaged in malicious registration, he can usually get his trademark back.
This situation is not uncommon. All the internet celebrities have experienced this.
The comments section was filled with indignation. In everyone's words, isn't this just a scam?
"Xiao Shufu": I really think this is a scam. With just one word from the other party, I have to go through a lot of trouble to prove I'm who I am, or else I have to pay compensation. Is this reasonable?
"Wu Gou Fei Jian": These people are truly disgusting. Isn't this illegal? By the way, have they sent a lawyer's letter to Yi?
"Sister Yuan": The person above, even if you are crazy, they can't send it to Pigeon Spirit. Everyone knows who he is.
Everyone was discussing it heatedly, and taking advantage of this momentum, many Internet celebrities made similar remarks, saying that they had all encountered such situations.
As a result, the calls became louder and louder, and everyone began to tag Ayi frantically, wanting to know what he thought about the matter.
However, Ayi did not post any updates.
So everyone started following the Son of Death video to find the party that sent the lawyer's letter, and soon, a series of information about the other party was found out.
"Everyone, come and see, this is a company called Modu Liwei. Wow, look at the lawsuits they're involved in—too many!"
Some big guys posted some of the information they found out online. Of course, this is not a leak of information because it is all public.
Anyone can check the various statuses of a company.
Apart from anything else, the amount of lawsuits is outrageous.
"This really isn't the first or second time. Why doesn't Yi speak?"
Someone started talking nonsense in the comment section again.
Anyway, as Ayi becomes more and more serious, many people now regard him as some kind of incarnation. Whenever they encounter something, they want him to say a few words or do something.
When Zhou Yi didn't move at all, words like "playing dead on purpose" started to appear.
In their opinion, Ayi, you have achieved your current position by being serious, so now that something like this has happened, you must intervene!
Fortunately, everyone still has some common sense and dares not to criticize, but only to make a few sarcastic remarks.
However, no one thought that in secret, Ayi's account was constantly contacting those internet celebrities who posted updates.
In a city somewhere in Hannan Province, Yang Qing, the Son of Death, was looking through his own comments and private messages. Suddenly, his eyes froze, because one of the people who sent the private message had the ID Ayi!
"Did Yi send me a message?"
I quickly clicked on it to take a look, and it was indeed that Ayi.
