Don't give me black technology

Chapter 35 Hotness and hidden dangers

In Pan Yu's office, Pan Yu, Meng Xiaobai, and Gao Yuan were all there.

"According to the results of the internal test, test users are very satisfied with the Variety App." Pan Yu said, "This time our product can be launched 20 days ahead of schedule, thanks to Director Meng!"

"Yes, Director Meng saved our project department a lot of money this time!" Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "I'm worried about not having enough advertising expenses!"

For these, Meng Xiaobai didn't care. He said: "Mr. Pan, I think we need to increase the number of servers. Otherwise, when the number of users increases, the servers will definitely not be able to handle it."

"Well, it depends on the situation!" Pan Yu thought for a while, and said: "We are renting cloud servers now, and the cost is not low. If it is not necessary, we will not increase investment for the time being."

"Ah."

……

The next day, the Variety Show app was officially launched on the Android app store, and the Apple app store is still under review.

Since its launch, Langya has mobilized resources for publicity and promotion.

Advertising links on the company's website, gift promotion activities, and contracted major anchors promote the Variety Show APP in the live broadcast room.

Langya live broadcast website, a major anchor promotes the Variety Show app online.

"Look, everyone, this is the software." The anchor turned on the phone and showed, "Everyone just needs to take a photo. Like me, let the software record your appearance information."

As she said that, she made a photo show, "Next, you can change yourself into the protagonist of the video!"

As she spoke, she chose a movie clip in the material library, and sure enough, the heroine's face in the video suddenly changed to hers.

On the bullet screen: "Wow, it's amazing! Where can I download it?"

"gorgeous!"

"This thing is interesting, can any video be replaced?"

"I suddenly thought of the action movies of the island country. If I change my face..."

The anchor continued to introduce: "Everyone only needs to scan the QR code in the lower left corner of the live broadcast room to download, and download now and get bonus!"

The Variety Show APP is being promoted in various channels, and it has triggered a download boom in just one day after it was launched.

On the first night, there were too many users on the server, making it impossible for new users to use it.As a result, the technical team had to work overtime late at night for maintenance.

By the third day, the Variety Show APP had already entered the top ten Android APP download list for a week, and the Weibo index and browser search index were all rising day by day.

"In just three days, the DAU of our software has already ranked in the top three of its kind! It is second only to ZAI-Face Making Drama and Ji Meng Camera." At the meeting of the project department, Pan Yu announced excitedly.

ZAI is the smart face-changing software they imitated, and Jimeng Camera is a product of Byte Flash, which also uses face recognition technology, but it is simpler than smart face-changing.

"Everyone continues to work hard, and I can clearly tell you a good news. At present, the company's senior management attaches great importance to our products and is ready to invest an additional 3000 million yuan in our project! Our task is to continue to improve our products and keep our number of users! "

Not only him, but everyone in the Variety Show project department was very excited. They didn't expect success to come so easily!Originally, everyone expected that even if this software is popular, it will take a certain amount of time.

The meeting ended, and Pan Yu left Meng Xiaobai behind.

"Xiao Meng, I don't think you are excited at all. Is it because you have been under too much work pressure recently?" Pan Yu asked.

Meng Xiaobai shook his head. He looked at Pan Yu and asked, "Mr. Pan, do you know? Within three days, users uploaded 10,000+ video materials in our video material library."

"This is a good thing! It proves that users are very active!" Pan Yu said.

"A lot of material is of course a good thing. But these materials, we have no copyright!" Meng Xiaobai emphasized, "The video materials uploaded by these users have not been reviewed at all. 80.00% are video materials in various film and television works, and there is no copyright. 18.00% is the video content shot by the user himself; the other [-]%, which is more dangerous, is some colored video clips!"

"Well, it is indeed worthy of attention!" Pan Yu said, "Delete all those colored ones."

"Mr. Pan! This is just one of the problems. The important thing is that we have not obtained the copyright for the videos in the entire material library! If the copyright owner pursues it, it will be troublesome." Meng Xiaobai emphasized.

"Haha, so you are worried about this!" Pan Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, have you read the user agreement? These materials are uploaded by users voluntarily, and have nothing to do with the platform."

Meng Xiaobai was not satisfied with this explanation. It was just a way of shirking responsibility. Users did upload the video material in the video, but it was the platform that used it for commercial use, so it was hard to say when it came to copyright disputes.

"What about the materials uploaded by users themselves?" Meng Xiaobai said worriedly, "According to the law, without authorization, the videos they shoot cannot be used for commercial purposes."

"Who told you that you were unauthorized?" Pan Yu smiled mysteriously, "Read the user agreement carefully!"

"Huh?" Meng Xiaobai opened the user agreement, and among the No. 20 eight articles, he saw an article that stunned him.

"After the user uploads and publishes the content, it means that he agrees to grant Variety and its affiliates and Variety users "free, irrevocable, perpetual, sublicensable and sublicensable rights worldwide. "

"Including but not limited to modifying and editing all or part of user content (such as replacing the face or voice in a short video with another person's face or voice, etc.) and conducting information network on user content before and after modification. dissemination and all the property rights and neighboring rights enjoyed by the copyright owner as stipulated in the "Copyright Law."

"Mr. Pan, how can such an agreement that completely ignores users' portrait rights and privacy rights be included in the user agreement?" Meng Xiaobai asked in shock.

"Don't be so surprised." Pan Yu patted him on the shoulder and said: "Everyone does it like this. Huaxia's mobile phone users don't care about their privacy at all. I dare say that few users who download our app watch it. through the User Agreement."

"But we can't stipulate it like this!" Meng Xiaobai retorted.

"Xiao Meng!" Pan Yuyu said earnestly, "Technically, you are indeed a rare talent. But in terms of operation, you are still a little tender."

"Our software has just been launched not long ago, and now we want to seize the market! With all kinds of materials and rich user experience, our user growth can be faster! As for the user agreement, as long as everyone hasn't noticed it, there is no problem. Even if we notice it, we can modify it when the time comes.”

"But... this won't work!" Meng Xiaobai couldn't accept it, "Mr. Pan, the design of intelligent technology is good, but if it is used in a bad way, it will also cause harm. If someone uses our software to violate user privacy , causing bad social impact, then it will be too late!"

"What are you worried about? You are in charge of technology, so you don't need to worry about it." Pan Yu said bluntly, "We are not the first to do this. To tell you the truth, this user agreement is copied from ZAI."

"I still can't accept it." Meng Xiaobai shook his head, he didn't want the software he designed to be infamous.

A trace of displeasure flashed in Pan Yu's eyes, but he hid it. He asked, "Okay, then tell me, if we don't use these materials, how can we attract users?"

　Thanks to Wuqing Wang Shao and Leozhr for their rewards.
