Chapter 38
"Internet giant Yahoo accused of plagiarism by new unicorn company Riot Games"

"Yahoo's plagiarism evidence is solid, and the IPs of those who moved the content all point to Block A of Yahoo's office building"

Because electronic payment software will be developed in the future, Zhou Xin asked Louis to lead the establishment of a dedicated information security department.

I just didn’t expect that the department’s first shot was not to build a security system for electronic payment software, but to locate the IP address of the person who posted it, and further locate the real address through the IP address.

Coincidentally, the Yahoo office building uses a dedicated line, which means that the entire office building uses a dedicated IP.

rather than shared with other buildings.

There is no way to deny it.

"Yahoo's game community content porter IP is accused by Riot Games of being 721 First Avenue, N Mathilda Ave, Sunnyvale, which is where Yahoo's office is located."

After a complete chain of evidence was formed, public opinion further fermented.

"You did a great job of leaving Yahoo defenseless.

They are a little overwhelmed.

I haven't seen Jerry not coming out to speak out under such circumstances. "Bill Gates smiled smugly.

When the entire North American Internet and even the global Internet were aroused by this incident, Zhou Xin was basking in the sun with Bill Gates in a high-end coffee shop in Los Angeles.

"Because their methods are too clumsy, I have formed a complete chain of evidence.

They have no way to deny it. "

Bill Gates held up his coffee and said: "We need to celebrate."

For Bill Gates and Microsoft behind him, Yahoo is a direct competitor.

Although Yahoo doesn't make an operating system, Microsoft wants to be an Internet service provider, and Microsoft is not willing to just be an operating system.

Whether it was the acquisition of Hotmail or later MSN, Microsoft has shown a strong interest in communication software.

And now Yahoo's Yahoo Mail is their worst enemy.

In the battlefield of Internet services before, Yahoo has been pressing Microsoft to fight.

In the eyes of users, Microsoft is a product of the previous era, and Yahoo represents the future.

Therefore, Bill Gates is very happy to see Yahoo suffer, or suffer under the hands of the companies he invests in.

Zhou Xin took a sip of his coffee and added: "There is also credit for the media resources you introduced to me.

Without the cooperation of these media, we could not have set off such a big momentum so quickly.

The number of users in the fist game community has been growing rapidly recently, and the growth in this week has exceeded the sum of the past two months.

At present, our number of global users has officially exceeded 100 million, and a large part of them are from Europe. "

Bill Gates seemed to think of something, "Many of my media friends want to interview you.

Do you know Murdoch?
The boss of the New York Post and the Boston Herald wants to interview you. Of course, it depends on your wishes. If you are willing, I will ask the secretary to talk to him later, and then someone from his side will contact you. "

Zhou Xin shook his head: "The New York Post and Boston Herald are not high enough.

The New York Times or the Times have to come and interview me. "

Bill Gates smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be the same as me, and you don't like the New York Post.

I have to have a good rant with him. "

"I don't mind being interviewed, it's just not the right time for me to come out.

All eyes are on Yahoo and Riot Games itself, and I can't draw the audience's attention to me at this time. "

"Makes sense.

Your behavior this time has given me a lot of inspiration. For infringements that cannot be defined in the legal sense, we can punish each other at the level of public opinion.

The war in the Internet industry is not limited to the level of products, and it is not necessarily limited to whose products are more attractive to customers.

We can also further extend to traditional industries, such as media.

Building one's own brand and destroying the other's brand is a higher-dimensional war.

Yahoo's brand image has been seriously damaged, which is the biggest blow to them. "

Bill Gates had some thoughts on this matter, but Zhou Xin shook his head and said that there was a problem with the other party's thinking: "Not all plagiarism incidents can cause such big waves.

The reason why Yahoo is so pissed off by our counterattack is that they have to face more than just fist games.

But all web forums.

What Yahoo can do to Riot Games means it can do to other online forums as well.

Yahoo itself controls the Internet entrance, with such a huge amount of traffic, if there is no lower limit to carry the content of other Internet forums, then there is no room for other Internet forums to survive.

Behind it is actually all the web forums coming together to attack Yahoo.

At the same time, Yahoo's previous plagiarism was only plagiarizing the design and content of other portals, which did not feel deeply to users.

For users, it will feel that this is a kind of convenience, and they are insensitive to plagiarism.

But this time Yahoo is directly plagiarizing the content generated by users. You post a post and enjoy the feeling of many people replying below. This feeling of being surrounded is caused by the content you created.

Suddenly, others move your content away without warning. This kind of plagiarism is a kind of harm to users.

Of course, there is also our push behind it.

The superposition of various factors resulted in such a violent reaction.

If it is a general infringement, it will have no impact on Yahoo at all. "

This is why during the 3Q war in later generations, basically all the Internet companies that Goose Factory did not have a share in were on the side of 360, and everyone was really scared.

Some people are comfortable, while others are overwhelmed.

Yahoo's top executives are the targets.

In a week, Yahoo's stock price fell by 20%.

More importantly, Yahoo's corporate image has been hit hard.

They issued a statement on the front foot saying that this was user behavior, and then they were punched in the face with a screenshot of their fists, and they found out the IP address of the person who posted it.

This kind of feeling of being slapped on the face by the opponent's backhand right after punching the opponent's arm is really uncomfortable.

"Jerry, please answer why Yahoo plagiarized the content of Riot Electronics Community?"

"Jerry, Yahoo's stock price keeps falling. When do you think the stock price will stabilize?"

"Jerry, did you instigate Yahoo's plagiarism of content from the Riot Electronics community, or was it a senior executive's arbitrariness?"

Compared to Wall Street, Yang Zhiyuan is more willing to stay in Silicon Valley.

But there was no way, the stock price of Yahoo suddenly collapsed, and he needed to go to Wall Street to appease investors.

Can not lead to further collapse of Yahoo's stock price.

As a result, as soon as he arrived in New York, the reporters in New York knew the hotel where he was staying, and when they drove him out, they asked him questions all the time, and they always asked him questions that he couldn't answer.

　There is another update tomorrow morning, I am too sleepy and go to bed first, everyone should go to bed early!
