Although Tencent has a nickname called Nanshan Pizza Hut, the winning rate of NetEase Cloud's lawsuit against Tencent Music for unfair competition is still very high. Unfortunately, even if the probability of winning the lawsuit is high, it should not be possible for Tencent Music. It doesn't have much impact and won't hurt your muscles or bones.
The reason why NetEase Cloud Music wants to sue Tencent Music is because QQ Music, a subsidiary of Tencent Music, has repeatedly sold popular music works belonging to NetEase Cloud Music without obtaining any authorization. Even after NetEase Cloud Music defended its rights, it did not make corrections. It only symbolically removed related works from the Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou areas where NetEase Cloud Music's daily inspections are stricter. However, in areas where NetEase Cloud Music cannot be detected or has less detection, it is still rampantly listed and refuses to rectify. Tencent Music not only competes viciously, but is also considered a strong player in aspects such as plagiarizing interfaces or playing word games. After all, even if NetEase Cloud wins the case for unfair competition, the punishment for unfair competitors will be small.
However, the case is under trial and we cannot get a clear result for the time being. Generally speaking, the law has a set of standards for judging unfair competition. The main criteria are: whether the subject of the unfair behavior is an operator; whether it is for the purpose of market competition; whether it violates the principle of good faith and recognized business ethics; whether it damages the interests of many parties. You can compare it to see if Tencent Music meets the above standards?
In fact, Tencent Music has been sued by NetEase Cloud Music before. Although the lawsuit was won, Tencent Music has not changed much. After all, Tencent's legal staff are not weak in ability, so in terms of competition, they will definitely engage in unfair competition to a reasonable and legal extent. This time the lawsuit is likely to be won by NetEase Cloud, but Tencent Music is still going its own way. If you don’t believe it, we can wait and see. Of course, wouldn't it be nice to hope that there will be less vicious competition in this market and the entire market environment will be more harmonious?
