‘My fellow citizens, the events in Iraq have now reached the time for the final decision. For more than ten years, the United States and other countries have been making patient and outstanding efforts to disarm the Iraqi regime without war…’

‘Since then, the world has been engaged in diplomatic efforts for 12 years…’

‘The danger is already very clear: terrorists will use chemical, biological or nuclear weapons with the help of Iraq to realize their established ambitions and kill tens of thousands of innocent people in our country and other countries. Although the United States and other countries have done nothing, they have incurred such threats. However, we will take all measures to defeat them. We will build a road to safety instead of sliding into the abyss of tragedy…’

On March 17, 2003, after obtaining the United Nations authorization and hopeless, the George Dynasty decided to bypass the United Nations and do it on its own. The commander George Jr. formally issued a televised speech, an ultimatum that the other party would never accept.

Then after the 48-hour time limit, the U.S. Army will invade Iraq.

‘We will provide you with the medicines and food you need, we will completely destroy the terrorist machine, and we will help you build a prosperous and free new Iraq…’

‘Establish a model of an important, peaceful and autonomous nation in the entire Middle East. The United States will work with other countries to promote freedom and peace in this region. Our goal cannot be achieved overnight, it takes time. The power of human freedom and the desire for it is embodied in everyone and in each country. The great power of freedom will resolve hatred and violence and let everyone pursue peace with all their hearts. That’s our choice…’

Little George’s speech style is not fancy, firm and sincere, which can especially reassure the American people.

“SHXT! The 3DFX shareholders meeting will be postponed.”

However, the raising of the national security alert level brought about by the war will inevitably have a negative impact on large-scale crowd gathering activities. The Oscars award ceremony organizing committee has notified that this year’s red carpet link will also be cancelled.

Song Yagang got two bad news after reading George’s speech.

No, one, he didn’t care if he could walk on the red carpet.

“So the Beats Music Store should be like this: It uses a website that supports mainstream browsers as a platform, and the interface is similar to Napster, but it has to bypass the Napster website copyright that has been owned by BMG Records, but abandons the P2P transmission method and supports DRM digital rights management. Features, dynamic encryption certificate technology with the same level of strength as Apple and Microsoft, as well as functions such as personal music library management, site search, viewing albums and single scores…”

The Beats Music Store project has been launched in full swing. Everyone did not bother to worry about the Georgian dynasty’s provocations, let alone the 3DFX shareholder meeting. Beats CEO Donna Dubinski summarized all the needs, “Finally, too At the most basic level, we need to obtain licenses from six major music copyright libraries, and the price cannot be higher than Apple’s 99 cents.”

Although Apple’s iTunes Music Store does not support Windows, it is unanimously regarded as a very good corner overtaking opportunity, but Apple’s ninety-nine cents per song, which is far lower than the price of physical records, still brings great pressure to everyone.

When Jobs announced the price at the press conference that day, the reaction from the audience was also the most enthusiastic.

“The Big Six gave Apple this price. If you raise the price for us, it will easily trigger the price discrimination clause, so don’t worry too much.”

The big guys have already left. Basically all the people involved in the meeting are related to the Beats Music Store project. The Chief Legal Officer of Beats said: “Music copyright library authorization is similar, but more subtle, because if they only authorize the iTunes Music Store, it must be suspected. Monopoly, but the recording industry cannot have a responsive spam authorization. There are many choices in the scale of choice. Basically, the six major players can do their own things and choose freely…”

“The project team has already started program development. Fanning and William Zhang will be responsible for their own booth. The entire software project will be completed in about six months. APLUS, we must try our best to obtain as many recording licenses as possible as soon as possible. Within time, we must settle the six majors.”

Jeffrey Hawkins said: “Although we are in the Walkman business, we are not very familiar with the recording industry, only you…”

“Disney guarantees that there is no problem and can sign at any time.”

Song Ya knows his own family affairs, so he can only throw out a 100% certain Disney record to settle his mind. “The other five…” glanced at the perpetual calendar on the watch and said: “I will go to Los Angeles on the 23rd to attend the Oscars ceremony. , And then I will concentrate on this matter.”

“So…because of the record market share, the duo alliance of Universal Music and Sony Columbia Records is not convenient for concerted action now. They are afraid of carrying antitrust lawsuits, right?”

At Apple, Jobs was also consulting legal counsel.

“Under the premise that the other four companies belong to two camps, yes. For example, the other four companies have authorized the Beats music store, but Universal Music and Sony Columbia Records don’t give it…”

Legal replied.

“APLUS in the record industry hates dogs, isn’t it?” someone asked.

“Warner Records doesn’t hate him. EMI and BMG parent company Bertelsmann are in a bad situation. They urgently need to expand their revenue channels. Only Universal Music and Sony Columbia Records really hate him. He participated in the short-selling of Universal Music’s parent company Vivendi. Universal, and Sony Columbia Records are even more suspicious of murder…”

Another participant said: “The combination of Universal Music and Sony Columbia Records has just passed the monopoly threshold in the online music field.”

“This is what I just said.” Legal nodded.

“Sony Columbia Records is the last line of defense. Universal Music’s parent company is also in a bad situation. The internal high-level competition is also a big problem.”

“Sony Columbia Records parent company Sony won’t be very happy with MP3 players, which are rapidly replacing CD players. Universal Music is better, the Bronfman family and APLUS…”

“The influence of the Bronfman family in Vivendi Global is already very low!”

Jobs is not a god. He heard the names of various record companies popping out of his mouth like the names of dishes. He became more and more impatient, even though he was regarded as Hollywood’s own person because of Pixar animation. The long-term negotiations have also made him aware of the situation of the record industry, “You can discuss freely and tell me the conclusion.”

He got up, put his hands on the desktop and said: “In any case, I don’t allow…Never allow Beimi to have a company that can compete with us in all aspects on MP3 players, music stores, and even smartphones.”

“Yes!”

The boss’s death order made his subordinates look serious, and they agreed in unison.

“I go first.”

He returned to an office full of ‘Zen’ with only wooden floors, floor lamps, and necessary office equipment, sat down cross-legs, and picked up the media that has been faithfully supporting him for many years: Wired Magazine.

‘I don’t know what Apple thinks, maybe Jobs has his own considerations, but a software provided to Walkman users does not support Windows? ’

But Roseto of Wired Magazine didn’t say anything good this time, ‘so they plan to step on the pit that the first-generation iPod does not support USB transmission again? ! ’

Roseto is a friend, he has read this review article before the meeting, which is the reason why he was upset just now.

Take a deep breath, set the posture taught by an Asan spiritual master, and start to meditate with closed eyes and relax.

‘The trial in Chicago is almost over. ’

Song Ya, who was still in the meeting, received a text message from Sloan. He was guilty and left the meeting briefly, went to the study to turn on the TV.

“Iraq rejects the ultimatum…”

‘The British Prime Minister expressed his firm support for our military operations…’

The war is about to start, and various TV stations have entered a quasi-live broadcast mode, and the world is full of such news. Song Ya keeps changing channels, and there is no information about the R Kelly case. Yesterday, the stations were still tracking reports…

As long as there is bigger news, it will only take a short day to go from full attention to no one.

Poor Alicia, who thought she could show her face, ended up being robbed of the limelight…

He felt a little funny, so he dropped the remote control and went back to continue the meeting.

In Chicago, Alicia, who changed her most proud dress, also felt it. I thought that today I would be like Gasty Clark, the female prosecutor in the Simpson case, and it would be a good opportunity to greatly increase my popularity and even be well-known throughout the country. This is R Kelly. The case is better than the Simpson case, and she is confident that she will not repeat the mistake of Gasty Clarke being replaced halfway, so she will not hesitate to use the power of the Cook County state prosecutor to directly get the prosecutor of the prosecutor into the hands.

Today’s confrontation also proved this judgment.

In any case, the trial was over. She stood up and turned to look at the defense’s old colleagues and opponents, Will Gardner and Diane Lockhard.

Will always did that, smiling with aggressive confidence, and Diane nodded friendly.

Among them is R Kelly, the king of rhythm and blues, who has already been released on bail, and the record has sold better after being sued.

The auditorium was mostly black. Jesse Jackson’s son Jesse of the Federal House of Representatives rushed back from Washington in his busy schedule. He was in the first row directly behind R Kelly. He stretched out his hand and held R Kelly’s shoulder to express comfort.

“The time for the next trial is…” The judge knocked the gavel to announce the time for the next trial. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The first trial was just an appetizer, tentative contact. After the adjournment, the prosecution and defense acted separately, and there was no exchange other than a handshake. The members of R Kelly’s huge dream lawyer team surrounded him, and they discussed in low voices on the spot to review the gains and losses.

“Let’s go too.”

She couldn’t wait to lead the prosecution team out of the court first. The reporters were still waiting. The grand battle reminded her of the Barn case of APLUS. The Cook County prosecutor cared for her boss in court. A small podium was prepared on the steps, which was already full of microphones.

Although I was robbed of the headlines by little George, at least my speech will be on the news, right? She thought so, flirting with her long hair tossed by the wind, her heroic posture, and a serious expression towards the podium facing countless flashes and shutter sounds.

“Alicia.”

Just after taking out the speech, a subordinate hurriedly walked behind her and whispered: “Our two key witnesses, the victim and her uncle, suddenly repented, and they refused to testify in court…”
