On February 2, 2021, NetEase Cloud Music published an article on the Internet, titled: "Suggestions on applying for year-end rewards for the Kugou Music Copycat Team". This article Some people are saying that Kugou Music plagiarizes NetEase Cloud Music in a shady and overt way.

As we all know, plagiarism, especially this type of plagiarism, is actually difficult to identify. Moreover, it is often difficult for the injured party to defend their rights, and the road to rights defense is long and takes a lot of time and energy. Money, but sometimes the results are not worth the gain. Guo Jingming's novel "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams", which caused heated discussions on the Internet, plagiarized Zhuang Yu's "Inside and Outside the Circle". Later, Zhuang Yu said on his social media platform that Guo Jingming's compensation of 200,000 yuan was not enough to offset the crime. Your own expenses in safeguarding your rights.

This time, NetEase Cloud Music said that since the establishment of Kugou Music Shanzhaiban, it has been integrating the new features of NetEase Cloud Music into Kugou. This sentence shows that the function of Kugou Music is to completely copy and paste NetEase Cloud Music. Moreover, it also illustrates that Kugou’s online "Listen Together" function imitates NetEase Cloud Music "Listen Together" to the pixel level. Including the invitation page information, the display form "Kugouization"; the display form of the avatar and headset and the intercom function "Kugouization", etc.

NetEase Cloud Music also specifically mentioned in the article that in April 2020, version 7.1.10 of NetEase Cloud Music launched the "Yunbei Push Song" function, and the time was very suspicious three months later. Gou Music has launched a "music promotion" function. This function of Kugou Music, whether it is the entrance position of the player function or the interactive form of song promotion, whether it is the design style, layout, or purchase method, is all copied from NetEase Cloud Music. Used by Kugou.

NetEase Cloud Music said that the Kugou Music copycat team should apply to Kugou management for special year-end incentives. Later, Kugou Music Vice President Xie Huan posted a suspected response in WeChat Moments, "It turns out that the QQ Listen Together function I built in 2006 has such far-reaching strategic significance. I found the demand documents from that year and thought about it. Can I say goodbye to others copying me?" ? In addition, the requirements written back then were really detailed, and all the logic and interaction diagrams had to be made. Would I be scolded by the R&D team? Product managers had no human rights at that time. ? I think this response is really not an answer to the question. No matter who is right or wrong, the similarities pointed out by Kugou Music in NetEase Cloud Music should be explained clearly.
