When will I have a long tassel?

"Design software has become the hardest hit area for piracy, and Tuo's losses in the Chinese market may exceed 10 billion!" 》

"You can't throw away integrity by throwing away the drawing board. How many companies are using pirated CAD?" 》

"As China's accession to the WTO is imminent, Chinese people's awareness of intellectual property protection needs to be improved urgently!" 》

"It is common for state-owned enterprises to use pirated design software, and the competent authorities cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb!" 》

Overnight, a number of articles with extremely sensational titles suddenly appeared in major newspapers, all of which pointed to one issue: TuoCAD piracy in China.

The reporters who wrote these articles categorically stated that the Tuo CAD currently used by the vast majority of domestic designers is pirated software, including technicians from various large enterprises and scientific research institutes. In most colleges and universities that offer CAD courses, the CAD software used by teachers and students is also pirated, and many teachers even burn pirated software into CDs and distribute them in class.

The reporter then quoted the views of a certain legal expert, claiming that using pirated software constitutes a crime of infringement, and that teachers spreading pirated software to students is an unpardonable crime. Even dismissal from teaching is a minor offense, and they must be shot no matter what. Minutes are in line with the spirit of the law.

In addition to legal experts, trade experts also joined in the fun, quoting classics and evidence to demonstrate the relationship between cracking down on piracy and China's accession to the WTO, saying that if the country cannot take effective measures to curb serious software piracy, China's international image will be seriously damaged. This will further affect China's WTO accession negotiations with other countries around the world.

After verbally criticizing the technicians who used pirated copies, the reporter changed the topic and focused on various units and the government departments behind them. The reporter asked: As the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, does he have any basic legal awareness? His subordinates use pirated software every day. Is the leader unaware or deliberately condoning it? As well as the leaders of the Ministry of Machinery, the Science and Technology Commission, and the Education Commission, don’t you know this serious problem? Do you think you are worthy of the salary the country and the people give you when you are just living without food?

"What's going on? Is what the newspaper said true?"

The ministers immediately called the director for questioning.

"We don't know much about this situation. I'll send someone to investigate right away." The director was so scared that he didn't dare to sweat.

Returning to his one-third-acre land, the director called the director and began to issue orders: "Are any of our affiliated companies using pirated CAD? The name of Pixi Machinery Factory was mentioned in the newspaper. You can give it to Pixi Machinery Factory now." I called Lao Chen and asked him what was going on!"

Speaking of which, the use of several pirated software by subordinate units really does not catch the eye of superior leaders. In fact, why are there no pirated software in the computers used by superiors?

There was no way. In the 1990s, everyone's awareness of genuine software was almost blank. Spending 81,000 yuan on a computer was already very distressing. Who could bear to spend thousands more on genuine software?

The leaders don’t understand what genuine piracy is, and the guys in the information center are the ones responsible for installing the software for the leaders. How do these young people know anything about political correctness? If you can use the genuine version, you can also use the pirated version, so why should they buy the genuine version? Besides, if they report that they will spend millions to equip all the computers in the unit with genuine software, believe it or not, the leaders will train them like they are grandsons.

From top to bottom, there is no awareness of rejecting piracy, and no one thinks this matter is worth making a fuss about. Those pirated software manufacturers would hum a few times from time to time. Yes, it was just humming. The thunder was loud and the rain was small, as if they were dealing with an errand. With their attitude like this, which department would really take action against the piracy problem of its subordinate units?

But indifference is indifference, and no leader dares to clearly say that piracy is justified. On the contrary, the country has always adopted the policy of combating piracy, and central leaders have proposed more than once that they should strengthen the people's awareness of intellectual property protection. Sometimes when a central document is issued, each unit must organize a study, and unit leaders must also express their stance. Of course, after expressing their stance, everyone forgot about it. After all, it was not a big deal.

This peaceful state was broken by a sudden set of articles in the newspaper. If there was such a report in just one newspaper, everyone would think that some reporter might have a brain injury and just leave it out in the sun. You must know that reporters also have a workload of publishing articles in newspapers. Some reporters usually work too hard and cannot make up the workload by the end of the month, so they will find some old topics to stir up the leftovers and write off a article.

But the current situation is that seven or eight media outlets have issued similar articles at the same time. The content of each article is different, but the theme is surprisingly consistent. The leaders of each unit have to think about it. Generally speaking, this kind of manuscripts sent out at the same time often represent a trend. Sometimes the superior leaders want to promote something, and sometimes it is a certain stakeholder conducting public relations.

No matter which situation it is, it means that this matter cannot be taken lightly. At the very least, you need to understand the relevant situation first and be prepared. Otherwise, if the superior leader really pursues the investigation, how can he explain it if he knows nothing about it?

The minister's request was to understand the situation, and the director's request became a serious investigation and serious handling. Even Tang Zifeng received a call from Liu Yanping, asking him to count the use of CAD on Linyi's machine, and requiring that if pirated copies were used, they should be deleted immediately, and it would be best to perform a low-level format on the hard drive to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces. , must not be found out.

"Sister Liu, your computer knowledge has improved so much that you even understand low-level formatting."

While Tang Zifeng was snickering, he couldn't help but praise Liu Yanping's erudition.

"Xiao Tang, don't take it lightly. According to everyone's analysis, the central leadership may have spoken out about this matter. The next step may be to arrest a few models and show them to the public. Don't fall into the trap of the gun." Liu Yanping warned seriously. The new network administrator in the bureau told her about low-level formatting, and she learned it now.

"Sister Liu, you know that the CAD of our Linyi machine was obtained by me from Tuao. It was given to us for free by them. It is definitely not a pirated copy." Tang Zifeng replied solemnly.

Liu Yanping kept saying, "Yes, yes, I remembered this. Xiao Tang, you still have the foresight. I remember someone suggested that you can use pirated software without spending the unjust money. It was you who insisted on using the genuine version. When you were short of funds, you went to Tuao Company to do public relations and asked people to send you software. In this way, some people thought that you were doing unnecessary things at the time."

After hanging up Liu Yanping's phone, Tang Zifeng burst out laughing while standing on the street, causing passers-by to look sideways, wondering whether the young man had taken the wrong medicine.

It was actually rumored that it was the intention of the central leadership, and it was also said that a few models might be captured to show to the public. Who said that the people in the agency are not imaginative enough?

What was going on with this set of reports? Others were in a fog, but Tang Zifeng's heart was as clear as a mirror. Because this set of reports was originally planned by him, and even those shocking headlines were plagiarized from a certain newspaper publication of later generations.

Regarding the situation of domestic pirated software, Tang Zifeng did not have any exact statistics, but he knew that others did not have data either, so as long as he dared to make it up, others would believe it even if they didn't believe it. For example, piracy caused Tuao Software to lose tens of billions. This was a figure that Tang Zifeng had just slapped on his head. When he deceived venture capital investors in his previous life, he compiled figures that were even more shocking than this. If you don’t know how to tell stories, do you have the nerve to say that you are an entrepreneur?

In addition to data, the cases from companies and schools are all real and credible. Tang Zifeng has traveled extensively over the years and has dealt with many different religions and schools. He has accumulated numerous jokes of various kinds and throws them out at random, plus some Spring and Autumn writing techniques, which are enough to bluff people.

Of course, Tang Zifeng could not write so many manuscripts alone. Even if his writing skills are good, it would be difficult for him to write articles with different styles that make people feel that each reporter wrote it himself. Under him, there is a writing team led by factory newspaper reporter Li Jia. The previous articles that slandered Korean culture came from this team. As soon as Tang Zifeng shared his ideas with the writers on the writing team, they all compiled the manuscript with familiarity.

Once you have the manuscript, the next step is to publish it in the newspaper. Obviously these articles cannot be published by a few tabloids. Only by publishing them in major newspapers can they achieve the desired effect of Tang Zifeng. The publication of articles by major newspapers is quite particular, at least not contrary to the country's major policies.

Tang Zifeng asked Li Jia to contact the reporters from these newspapers, and he personally introduced the contents of these manuscripts to the reporters. In fact, the themes of these manuscripts are completely correct from a political point of view. Combating piracy is something that the country has always advocated. These manuscripts expose the current situation of domestic piracy and put forward requirements for strict enforcement of intellectual property rights. What is wrong with that?

Since there was no problem politically, Tang Zifeng asked Li Jia to give the reporters generous travel expenses. Of course, the reporters actively signed the words "our reporter so-and-so" on the front of the article and handed it to the editor-in-chief. On hand. The editor-in-chief inevitably had to ask the reporters why they suddenly published an article on such a topic. The reporters used the caliber they learned from Tang Zifeng to say this, which made the editor-in-chief also feel that criticizing the phenomenon of piracy was a good topic, so With a stroke of pen:

Send it!

Outsiders do not know these details, and even the editors who approved the publication do not know that they have become a member of a plan. All they know is that they have signed a politically sound article. As for other media outlets publishing articles on the same topic at the same time, who will pay attention?

A crusade against pirated CAD software was thus stirred up.
