NetEase Cloud Music and Kugou Music are both common music software, and they also have a certain share in the music software market. However, these two "giants" often file lawsuits against each other, and the topics of "plagiarism and infringement lawsuits" come and go.
No, NetEase Cloud Music released the "Recommendations on Applying for Year-end Rewards for Kugou Music? Copycat? Team" through its official Weibo in response to Kugou, directly pointing out that Kugou Music plagiarized, calling Kugou NetEase Cloud Music pointed out that since the establishment of Kugou Music Shanzhai Office, it has been the primary goal and work aspect to transform NetEase Cloud Music's new functions into Kugou. In July 2020, NetEase Cloud Music launched the "Listen Together" function. A week later, Kugou launched the "Listen Together" function, which can be called a "pixel-level tribute". In addition, NetEase Cloud Music launched the "Cloud Bei song recommendation" function in April 2020, and Kugou Music launched the "Music recommendation" function three months later. NetEase Cloud Music also attached screenshots comparing the functions of the two applications one by one.
In response to this, Kugou Music responded through its official Weibo on the evening of the 2nd: By the end of 2020, Kugou Music had applied for more than 2,000 original patents, including applications in December 2015 and March 2020. "Listen together" patent. In 2015, Kugou launched "Music Push" and applied for a patent simultaneously, committed to helping musicians grow. Happy New Year to all my fellow musicians!
Kugou Music also attached Jay Chou’s song "Black Humor Link", which seems to be ironic to NetEase Cloud Music.
Kugou Music said: It launched the QQ Listen Together function in 2006, and posted screenshots of product requirements documents written between 2006 and 2007 to refute NetEase Cloud Music's claim that "Listen Together" was plagiarized. One thing.
I believe that these two technology giants should work together to make progress and not fight lawsuits all day long over trivial matters. It is better to leave time to users and continue to create products that are more in line with the people.
