409: What is the future of Sugon Technology?
These lies cannot be made up so randomly; they are so fake that they make people spit and become endlessly angry.
As expected, the patent infringement lawsuit between Shuguang Technology and Microsoft Company subsequently exploded globally, sparking a massive worldwide discussion.
In a certain Penguin group, a user with the username "Arctic Star" was expressing his complaints:
"Can Microsoft Company be any more shameless? A 5 billion USD economic loss? Is that something a person would say?"
Southern Cousin: "It is indeed a bit too shameless. How long has Shuguang Computer been released? How could they have lost 5 billion USD already? This is clearly an outrageous demand."
Ye Wuqing: "Exactly, that's right.
Although Shuguang Computer Operating System's ability to use applications and software from Microsoft Operating System seems somewhat infringing, compatibility with other APIs is legal and compliant.
The digital millennium copyright act published by United States clearly states that APIs are public resources and are not within the scope of legal protection.
Therefore, Shuguang Technology's compatibility with Microsoft Operating System's API interfaces is legal, and it has not infringed upon Microsoft Company's patents at all."
However, amidst a flurry of opposing voices, a fact stated by a user named "Xiuteluo" directly silenced the group.
Xiuteluo: "The situation is not optimistic. Although United States has enacted the digital millennium copyright act, and it explicitly states that API interfaces are public basic resources not protected by copyright or patents,
everyone should not forget that the right of interpretation for the digital millennium copyright act is in United States's hands. As long as they want to, they can always find multiple interpretations with a single sentence.
Moreover, Shuguang Technology's direct compatibility and ability to run Microsoft System programs and games is indeed a bit excessive, and it has caused huge losses to Microsoft.
Considering United States's national interests, they will definitely come up with a new interpretation of the digital millennium copyright act's API interfaces to prevent Shuguang Technology from such behavior of compatible operation with other system software.
Of course, even if they don't come up with a new interpretation, they can further revise the digital millennium copyright act.
After all, they could enact the digital millennium copyright act back then, so they can naturally revise the digital millennium copyright act again, and we can't say anything about such an act of fixing loopholes.
It is expected that United States, for its national interests, will definitely do its best to stop Shuguang Technology and not give Shuguang Computer Operating System a chance to survive!"
Hearing the words of the user "Xiuteluo," the Penguin group fell into complete silence.
They realized that this was indeed a cruel reality, because computers are related to United States's national interests!
Although a computer seems to be just a computer, it is a tool of productivity and relates to a nation's national defense security.
Putting themselves in their shoes, would United States really allow a company from Great Xia to control such a crucial computer operating system?
Facing a situation where all the computers in their own country are occupied by Great Xia computers, would United States truly be able to sleep soundly?
Just thinking of that terrifying giant, and its consistently strong attitude, the users in the Penguin group felt a wave of despair for the future.
They saw no hope for Shuguang Computer Operating System to continue to survive, even if Shuguang Computer Operating System successfully overcame this current Microsoft Company patent infringement lawsuit crisis, what about next time?
The future is full of despair!
"Damn it, why is the future so despairing."
"Is it really so difficult to simply do business? Is there no room for a Great Xia company?"
"Why be so overbearing? Why be so exclusive?"
"Damn it!"...
A series of angry curses erupted in the Penguin group; the users in the group felt extremely angry and powerless.
But what use is anger? No matter how strong a private enterprise is, it cannot overturn the heavens, so after their anger came a deep sense of powerlessness.
Southern Cousin: "Regardless, I still hope Shuguang Technology can win this Microsoft patent infringement lawsuit."
Ye Wuqing: "I also hope Shuguang Technology can win this lawsuit. They can't really compensate them 5 billion USD.
After all, Shuguang Technology only spent 4 billion USD to build a super automobile factory with an annual output of 5 million cars.
If they really paid 5 billion USD, that would be equivalent to losing a super automobile factory with an annual output of 6 million cars, right?"
Arctic Star: "Indeed, I sincerely hope Shuguang Technology can win this lawsuit."
"Exactly, I also hope Shuguang Technology can win this lawsuit."
"Likewise."...
At this moment, the Penguin group had high hopes for Shuguang Technology, all wishing for Shuguang Technology to win this lawsuit.
Of course, at the same time, it wasn't just this Penguin group and other Penguin groups that hoped Shuguang Technology would win the lawsuit.
In fact, in chat software and forums on the Global internet, both domestically and foreign, the number of people supporting Shuguang Technology's victory was almost overwhelmingly dominant.
Because whether it's domestically or foreign, whether Shuguang Computer Operating System can survive actually relates to the vital interests of many people.
Because Shuguang Computer Operating System is free, while Microsoft Operating System is paid, and Microsoft Office office software is also paid.
If Shuguang Technology loses the lawsuit, then Shuguang Computer Operating System will certainly not be able to continue to be compatible with Microsoft Operating System games and software.
And this also means that in the future, if they want to freely play software and games on Microsoft Operating System, they can only use Microsoft System.
Considering the high price of Microsoft System, how could many foreign people not feel pain?
Therefore, in reality, the interests of the vast Global internet users are consistent with Shuguang Technology.
Because of this, even if certain censorship agencies intervened to suppress public opinion, the statements supporting Shuguang Technology on the internet still accounted for the absolute majority.
However, the support for Shuguang Technology on the domestic and foreign internet is ultimately limited; internet public opinion support cannot make Shuguang Technology win the lawsuit.
It can only, to a certain extent, make Dali Temple of United States maintain a certain degree of judicial fairness and not issue final judgments that make people laugh and cry.
Thus, the lawsuit battle between Shuguang Technology and Microsoft officially began amidst the heated discussions of netizens, and Shuguang Technology and Microsoft Company also continuously exerted their respective public opinion power, attempting to win the approval of the public.
However, relatively speaking, outside of internet media, Shuguang Technology's public opinion power is far inferior to that of Microsoft Company.
For example, United States's most influential Washington newspaper directly reprinted an article by President Bill Gates of Microsoft.
