Chapter 534

After a long period of persuasion, Lu Ze finally convinced Bill Kincaid and Jeff Robin to accept his philosophy.

Simple and easy to use is the ultimate pursuit of the product, not the so-called large and complete functions.

Besides, what Lu Ze wants is to use iTunes to increase the sales of iPod, so naturally the more downloads and installations the better.

Built iTunes into an MP3 playback software similar to the early versions of QQ music in previous lives. It is not only simple and easy to use, but also compatible with Windows and iOS systems, and the coverage will definitely be very wide.

At that time, the software will promote iPod Walkman every day, and you can even save a lot of advertising fees.

As for MP3 audio files, Lu Ze doesn’t have to worry about it. Netizens are very powerful.

The Napster software alone can search for MP3 audio files shared by many netizens, which can be downloaded very conveniently. These audio files are captured by netizens from their CD discs.

Napster software is a super awesome existence.

This software developed by a college student named Sean Fanning in his 20s has as many as 80 million registered users at its peak, and this product is still considered by the industry to be a symbol of the success of P2P software.

The number of users of Napster software is more than twice as many netizens as the entire China a year later.

Its miracle also fully demonstrates the users' rigid demand for digital music.

However, Lu Ze did not intend to make a software similar to Napster, because it would involve huge copyright disputes.

In fact, it is not only that users did not expect that a large number of songs could be easily searched and downloaded on the Internet through a software.

The record company obviously did not expect that the business it had run for many years would be torn a gap by a young boy using a small software.

Angry record company sued Napster one after another, but inadvertently spread the name Napster.

At this moment, Napster's founder Sean Fanning is in a variety of copyright lawsuits and cannot extricate himself. The biggest lawsuit even proposed an out-of-court settlement with RIAA (American Recording Industry Association), but was still rejected.

It’s normal to think about it. If you cut off your wealth and destroy your foundation, you will only need to solve it for only 1 billion US dollars. How can you?

The next Napster company did not have the energy to continue developing products, and each copyright lawsuit made them anxious.

The final result is obvious. Record companies including Warner Music, Universal Music, Sony Music, etc. naturally won a big victory, while Napster was sentenced to close the website immediately.

So it was impossible for Lu Ze to let iTuer immediately provide users with music download function.

He couldn't easily get one billion US dollars to compensate, nor did he want to be forced to close the website, otherwise wouldn't he have a job in vain?

Doing so will not only affect Kirin Technology's reputation, but will not be conducive to its launch of digital music's profit model in the future.

Anyway, even though Napster lost the lawsuit, users were crazily downloading and backing up hundreds of millions of MP3 files before the software stopped serving.

Moreover, in countries and regions where piracy management is not strict, more and more software like Napster are constantly online.

Although Napster lost the lawsuit and was forced to close it, the user habits it cultivated continued. The conversion of music from traditional media such as CDs or tapes to online MP3 format has become an irreversible trend.

So as long as the iPod is launched, there is no need to worry that users can't find enough MP3 audio files.

So if you want to sue the audio and video companies and music copyright associations, please continue to sue Napster. Anyway, Lu Ze is just a walkman device, so it is not his turn to sue.

Moreover, Dimeng Company, as the first MP3 Walkman company to take the lead, has won the copyright lawsuit.

Hardware companies are just tools to sell music listening, which is not illegal.

The pirated MP3 files on the Internet have nothing to do with hardware companies, because they are the personal behavior of users.

Therefore, music copyright associations in various countries are so angry that they grit their teeth for Napster. They will beat them to death with one stick when they get the chance and will never reconcile outside the court.

The copyright agency problem in his previous life has not been solved at this moment.

When iTunes was launched, there was no function to buy music for the first time, and these were added later.

Record companies that won the lawsuit but lost the market will also suffer the cruel impact of the Internet for a long time, and the global physical record industry sales will usher in negative growth for six consecutive years.

The trend cannot be reversed, and music copyright associations from various countries finally realized the reality, and the entire record industry finally embraced the Internet.

The overwhelmed record companies have to put down their figures, accept or bear the fundamental changes brought by digitalization to the industry, and ultimately give music software opportunities to cooperate.

However, it will be two or three years later when they realize the reality.

The Joe Gang in his previous life launched the Apple iTunes music store, which will not be realized until April 2003.

This is still the case in this life, which also gives Lu Ze a chance.

He must make arrangements as soon as possible so that the iTunes launched by Qilin Technology can occupy a large enough market share and must rank first in the industry in terms of installation volume.

As we all know, the more users the music software, the more capital there is to negotiate with record companies.

When Kirin Technology's iTunes software covers the whole world, it can compete with record companies very strongly, thereby obtaining the largest share of music sales channels.

In order to make iTunes installed more and to make iPod sales better, the use and lightness of the software are necessary.

We must never let Bill Kincaid follow the route set by the leader of Joe in his previous life.

When the era of digital music payment comes, the one who eats the biggest piece of cake must be Kirin Technology.

After talking about the needs of iTunes, he is not able to participate in the specific R&D work.

The next work will be done by Bill Kincaid and Jeff Robin, leading the team. Not only will the development of iTunes 1.0, but also the file transfer function between Tony Fadell and iPod is required.

iTunes and iPod complement each other and are indispensable. The two products are used to cooperate with each other in the international market.

After leaving Qilin Technology, Lu Ze did not return to school.

Because today is the weekend, I can go and fight with Su Jin again.

He drove a Mercedes-Benz G, went to the supermarket to buy some food, and then drove directly to the Fu? side.

When he arrived at the home of Tianxiang Garden, threw the food into the refrigerator, Lu Ze ran directly to the bedroom, collapsed on the bed, waiting for Su Jin to come back.

There was no need to contact each other on his own initiative. The two had a tacit understanding long ago. After finishing their work on Saturday, they came to this love nest to gather together and enjoy the world of the two.

Lu Ze was about to take a short look when he heard the door opening.

He immediately jumped up and rushed over: "Yiyi, are you back?"

The beauty hugged her in her arms and sipped her fragrance on her face.

"Lu Ze, guess who I met today?" Su Jin widened his eyes, without blinking, and said seriously at Lu Ze.

It seemed like I wanted to confirm the answer from Lu Ze's eyes, or see if there was anything abnormal on his micro-expression.

Because Xia Qinghe's performance today was very abnormal, she felt a little distorted.

Although she believed Lu Ze very much, she still wanted to confirm with Lu Ze whether there was really something wrong with it.

Lu Ze immediately had a bad premonition, and he asked guiltily: "Who?"

"I saw Qinghe." Su Jin kept on the topic, "She is so beautiful."

While talking, he looked at Lu Ze's expression seriously.

If it hadn't been to wander among the bellies and swallows in the previous life, Lu Ze would have learned the ability to remain calm, now he would have been exposed.

He pretended to be calm and asked calmly: "Oh, who do I think it is? Why did you meet her?"

"Senior Brother Zhou asked me to make a backend database for [Tesgo Mall], so I gave him the code today and happened to meet Qinghe.

Oh, by the way, there is also a tall girl named Yuxuan, who is also very beautiful." Su Jinyi didn't notice any panic on Lu Ze's face, and his expression was very natural.

Lu Zehu said, "Well, they are all my classmates. If you can, please help me."

At this moment, ten thousand grass and mud horses were running by in his heart, wanting to curse, and even wanting to immediately hold Zhou Yanbin to beat him up.

It's so good that he told him to do some work, but he actually called the boss's wife to come.

This is not the end, but Xia Qinghe and Su Jin even met him. He was looking for a thief.

Fortunately, Xia Qinghe didn't talk nonsense, otherwise Su Jin would not have been like this at this moment.

But Su Jinyi is still in the lake, and Xia Qinghe will definitely have no good face next.

Although he is not guilty, who is willing to get along with each other day? Is it uncomfortable?

Lu Ze regretted it very much at this moment, so he shouldn't have asked Zhou Yanbin, a bird man, to help develop the [Tesgo Mall] website. If he had known that he would have spent some money and found someone else to do it.

"Is it really just a classmate? Why are your female classmates more beautiful than the other?" Su Jinyi asked pretending to be suspicious.

Lu Zeyi replied righteously: "Of course it's just a classmate, otherwise what else can it be?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid you'll call Lin Youyou back." Su Jinyi made a little bit of a little, expressing his dissatisfaction with Lu Ze's approach to Lin Youyou at the time.

Lu Ze knew very well that this was not the time to justify, and that all women wanted was an attitude.

He smiled and said, "How is it possible, I have you enough. In my heart, babies are the best."

"I don't look honest, I'm not honest at first glance." Although Su Jin was happy, he still had to continue to be arrogant.

Lu Zeyang pretended to be angry: "Bold, the little girl dared to doubt her husband. She must implement family law to improve her husband's principles."

"Hmph, I'm not afraid." Su Jin bit his lip, feeling very unconvinced.

Lu Ze smiled humbly: "This is what you said. Let's see who begs for mercy first."

As he said that, he picked up Su Jinyi and ran to the bedroom, threw the person in his arms onto the bed, and he rushed onto the whole person.

"Don't...it's time to have supper."

"I still want to eat? I'll serve you first..."

"Ah..., bad guy...well...no is allowed there..."

"Now I know I'm afraid? It's too late..."
