Chapter 140 Raise Your Brows (7/10)

Sun Ruiqi and the other two knew very early that there was a fierce man in this class. Before he was admitted to the Chinese Department, which was known as "we never train writers", he had published two novels.

But they never took it seriously. Now after suddenly searching for Zhang Chu's name, the news on the screen was overwhelming.

Not only are there personal encyclopedias, but there are links to personal related works, but news appears in the column below.

"Hey, you guys watch this news!" An Mi pointed to the computer screen and said, "Brother Chu, your case has come to an end!"

Zhang Chu couldn't help but be shocked. The Seventh Circuit Court of the United States had made a public announcement a few days ago, but no verdict was given at that time, and it has been delayed until now.

Several heads immediately gathered together, and Sun Ruiqi quickly clicked on the news titled "American judge made a judgment on Sherlock Holmes' copyright."

If someone outside the door saw this scene, it would probably have a huge misunderstanding, and they thought the four of them were concentrating on appreciating **** or something!

Calculated by the time difference, the United States has come to the morning. When the court just opened its trial, many media reporters came. As soon as the case was announced, it immediately spread throughout the world.

In Zhang Chu's opinion, he was in charge of his own right and had the help of three major lawyers, so there was no possibility of failure at all.

At this moment, he had a feeling of gains and losses.

[The original character of the famous detective Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock and his close friend John Watson is no longer protected by copyright!

Judge Richard Posner of the above-mentioned court of the Seventh Circuit of the United States believes that the 1995-year copyright protection period cannot be extended just by changing the images of these two century-old literary characters in the subsequent plot.

After the copyright of the original story expires, the characters in the story can be used fairly for the subsequent authors.

The Conan Doyle Foundation only enjoys the copyright of the last 10 Sherlock Holmes story, and after 2020, all copyrights will expire. By then, "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" will completely enter the public domain!

In other words, Zhang Chu's book "Sherlock" does not have any infringement and can be listed normally in the United States!]

The four of them read the news at about the same time, and then breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with An Mi, Yang Ling and others, but they feel like they share the same hatred of the enemy.

No one still remembers any tradition at this moment, and they all started chatting excitedly.

"You are going to go to the news again. This is completely different from what I think of in college. I have such a famous roommate." Sun Ruiqi was very moved. She probably wouldn't have any dullness in her four years of college career.

"Yes, I thought I would lose this lawsuit at first, but later I watched the news on TV and analyzed the identities and legal terms of those American lawyers, and I believed that you would win!"

"What procedures are required to sue in the United States?"

The smile on Zhang Chu's face became more and more obvious. The lawsuit that had been delayed for a long time finally came to an end, so as to avoid any concern.

After this verdict was not released, Menglong Culture Media had no confidence in the copyrights of other overseas TV stations. Now that it can be unveiled in the United States, it must be more attractive to those TV stations and film and television production companies.

"You will get used to having such a powerful roommate in the future."

Yang Ling muttered, "We have to get used to having a roommate who is 2 to the extreme!"

...

The news about Zhang Chu's victory on the Internet is also very controversial. Poor reporters and news editors have to work overtime to release relevant news at night.

The night is the time when the number of users of various apps is the most popular. Headlines, Xinlang News, Tencent News, Net. Yi News is full of tens of thousands of comments, and the number of views is amazing.

At the same time, there are tall buildings and posts in many forums. On the popular discussion list, Zhang Chu climbed to the top all the way, and there are tall buildings in Hupu Pedestrian Street. Even the QQ group and WeChat group are discussed, let alone Weibo!

This is a hot topic on the Internet. It is like a counterattack of waste materials in online novels. An ordinary little writer actually went abroad to overturn the foundation, which was like a dream.

"I thought the result came out a few days ago, but I won the case now."

"Now there is a lack of such a serious person as Zhang Chu, why should I pay the foundation for free? I don't know how many authors and companies have been sucked by them over the years!"

"Give Zhang Chu a thumbs up, your courage is commendable!"

"I actually won the lawsuit. I thought Zhang Chu would fail."

"I have to say that foreign countries are quite good in this regard. I hope to see film and television works as soon as possible."

"Didn't you say that some time ago there was a TV station rushing to buy it? Why is there no news now? Is it because Zhang Chu is hyping?"

...

"Bang bang bang"

The knock on the door suddenly rang.

The door of the dormitory 222 was opened very much for ventilation and dissipation. The sudden sound made the four of them turn their heads almost at the same time.

Zhang Chu thought it was from the dormitory next door or opposite him coming to the door, but unexpectedly, the assistant counselor Jia Zhi and another man in his thirties whom he saw when he signed up.

"It seems that your dormitory house is well organized. Can we come in?"

The strange man spoke, his eyes examining the environment of the dormitory, simple but neat, and the things are arranged in an orderly manner.

An Mi stood up and said with a smile: "Please come in, please come in."

"This is Teacher Liao Wangyang, the counselor of your class. He will tell you if he has something to do." Jia Zhi introduced.

Zhang Chu and others knew that there was this person, but they didn't expect that the counselor came to check the bedside directly, not knowing what to do.

Liao Wangyang looks short and fat, but he is quite kind and has no airs at all.

He simply said: "It's nothing big. I'm here to see if you are used to living in Yanda. By the way, I'll inform you that I'll go to classroom 309, Building 6, Li Ka-shing Humanities Academy tomorrow afternoon to have a class meeting. Then I'll tell you what to pay attention to in life and study. You can also check out the new student manual now, which has a detailed introduction."

"Teacher Liao, how long is it?" Yang Ling asked.

Liao Wangyang patted his forehead, "It's time to be on time at 6:30 pm, don't be late. In addition, Zhang Chu, you still have a difficult task."

"I?"

Zhang Chu asked in confusion, he didn't know what the counselor was looking for him to do, so he must not be a class leader, that would definitely be a one-speaking refusal.

"Director Yan of our department recommends that you speak on behalf of all the freshmen at this year's opening ceremony. Do you see if you can work hard? Write down the manuscript within two days today and tomorrow, and the ceremony will be held on time at 9:00 am next Monday."
