Chapter 111 Stone Breaking the Sky!

"When did you contact those top lawyers, they were willing to sue you!"

After all, Xu Dong is in the political and legal system and has a certain understanding of American laws. Of course, he knows the famous Simpson murder of his wife. He cares about how Zhang Chu contacts such a lawyer. No matter how he looks, he doesn't seem to be someone who can spend millions or tens of millions of dollars to hire lawyers.

What's more, these lawyers deal with a copyright case are just using a slaughter to kill a chicken, and they are useless to use their talents!

Zhang Chu finally figured it out now. The American side finally had a result. He replied: "Stop talking about this, is the result coming out? How did the judge make a judgment?"

Xu Dong shook his head, "I have only conducted a case report now, and a hearing will be held three days later to make the judgment."

I have to wait three more days!

Zhang Chu was already numb to wait. He said that efficiency was the first priority, so why was it so slow?

Perhaps because he heard Zhang Chu’s complaints in his heart, the system that has always been quiet suddenly reminded him in his mind: “The system is taking step by step according to the American judicial system, and just having three lawyers meet will have to wait a lot of time.”

Since the system has spoken, Zhang Chu simply quickly checked his reputation value. He found that the number is increasing rapidly, and the increase speed is far beyond that after the broadcast of "One Stop to the End"!

It was still more than 7 million before the conference, but now it is 11 million. It has not stopped yet and is still in a surge.

He quickly returned to reality, and didn't care about Xu Dong next to him, picked up his phone and checked it out. Toutiao was pushing news directly.

"Chinese writers sued Conan Doyle Heritage Foundation overseas, and the three ace lawyers locked in the victory!"

The media in the United States took the lead in reporting, which happened to involve Chinese people, so domestic media quickly followed up and immediately turned the report around and replaced it with various explosive titles.

Xu Dong felt that he underestimated the young man in front of him. If he didn't do anything, he would be shocked if he did something!

In addition to Xu Dong, there were many people who were distracted and played with their mobile phones. They were all shocked by Zhang Chu's actions. Why did they suddenly beat the big and big kings?

This is clearly a nuclear bomb!

"It's amazing, we've actually made a fierce man now."

"Yesterday I read the news and said that fan works are not good, but this guy turned around and sued the Heritage Foundation. It's so awesome!"

"Did you see the identities of the three lawyers in the news? Why did Zhang Chu, a high school student, hire so many good lawyers? Is there anyone behind it?"

"I don't know what to say, so I'd better watch the fun quietly."

"It's him, I can't tell at all, I just started a transnational lawsuit."

"I hope he can win. Sherlock Holmes is such a big IP, so readers will only take this set. Maybe when will I write a fan of it?"

He was clearly looking forward to the outcome of the lawsuit, but now Zhang Chu's head is numb.

Many writers who didn't know the details also understood the incident with the reminder of their friends, and their eyes immediately looked at Zhang Chu as if they were shocking.

Things can still be done!

...

The above-mentioned courts for the Seventh Circuit of the United States were also shocked by the joint complaints of these three lawyers. Why did the three lawyers at the top of the American lawyer community make a big fuss for a small Holmes copyright?

Is there any hidden case here?

The court staff repeatedly investigated and collected evidence, and finally admitted that this was really just a copyright case, but the identities of both defendants were a bit strange.

One is a young writer who wrote about the fan of Sherlock Holmes overseas, and the other is the Conan Doyle Foundation, which is in charge of the copyright of Sherlock Holmes. Normally, the foundation sues the writer for infringement.

But this time the situation had a 180-degree rotation, and it turned into a writer's lawsuit against the foundation, hoping to rescue the classic image of Sherlock Holmes from the foundation and become the public property of all mankind!

The well-informed Chicago Sun took the lead in exposing the news. The names of the three lawyers and such a strange copyright case even made the editor-in-chief question the authenticity of their own news.

"The copyright of Sherlock Holmes is coming, and overseas fans are in a lawsuit against the original author's family!"

"The Conan Doyle Foundation welcomes its biggest enemy, and the three top lawyers join forces to protect their rights!"

"Where will Holmes go in the future?"

"The most bizarre copyright case: Can the various elements and characters in the Sherlock Holmes series be used as public property for free?"

"The value of the Sherlock Holmes series has been weakened, and a large number of Sherlock Holmes-related film and television works will appear on the big screen in the future!"

Starting from the Chicago Sun, Google News captured relevant news and promoted it to its global users.

Yahoo News is not willing to be outdone, and also includes relevant news and has also posted it on its own Twitter and Facebook official accounts!

The Los Angeles Times, the Huffington Post, the Fox News Channel, CNN, and the Wall Street Journal followed suit.

Media from all over the United States, all large and small, know that writers sued the foundation. In the past, it seemed that the mayfly shook the tree's actions seemed to have great hope of winning with the support of three lawyers.

The New York Times acted even more quickly. They simply interviewed one of the lawyers, Beden, and directly launched a long article on their official website!

Who made Bayden's law firm a partner of the New York Times? This is something that other media can't envy.

Baden is the most famous copyright lawyer in the United States. He has helped many singers, film companies, writers and photographers get back copyrights and handle related copyright disputes.

When asked why he took over the case, the gray-haired lawyer Beden told the New York Times reporter: "I have been a loyal fan of Holmes since I was a child. I read any case repeatedly, but I was confused why we cannot write new stories. When I found an email from the far east in my email, I felt it was time to make a change! Zhang Chu told us about his experience. It is hard to imagine that the Conan Doyle Foundation would do such a thing. Now the copyright of the Holmes series has arrived, and the copyright of the fifty works published before 1923 has expired."

"This means that the publisher can re-publish Conan Doyle's works for free, while the authors and fans cannot write new stories? This makes no sense in logic. I want to help Zhang, and even all the other fans and authors in the world, so that they don't have to worry about being punished by law because they are worried about using, interpreting and adapting the Holmes elements!"
