Simon's arrival in Greenwich also brought him bad news.
The latest version of the digital rights act, which was promoted by the westero system to improve internet copyright and copyright protection, was rejected again in the second deliberation of the house of Representatives.
The core of the dispute is the "safe haven Ordinance".
The reason given by members who oppose the safe haven Ordinance is that this provision is likely to be abused after it is formulated, leading to the proliferation of Internet piracy resources.
According to the legislative process of the U.S. Congress, after a bill is passed and deliberated, it needs to be voted twice by the house of Representatives and the Senate of the U.S. Congress, which is supported by more than half of the members and signed by the president. The president of the U.S. has the right to refuse to sign certain bills, and the Congress also has counter-measures against it. As long as more than two-thirds of the members of Congress approve the bill, it can also be passed It's enough to force through.
Most bills in the United States are usually blocked in the deliberation process. Sometimes they are delayed for five or six years. After seven or eight deliberation, they may not be passed.
The final voting process will not be too much suspense.
Because once voting begins, it often means that a bill has won the consent of the majority of members of Congress after repeated negotiation and game compromise.
"According to our team's lobbying feedback data, the Senate is not a big problem, because the majority leader in the Senate is gore. However, if we want to pass the house of Representatives, we need at least 20 more votes. "
The 100 seats in the U.S. Senate remain unchanged for a long time. The number of members of the house of Representatives is adjusted regularly according to the changes in the U.S. population. At present, there are 434 seats in total, and more than half of the votes are at least 218. It seems that 20 votes are not many, and it is not easy to win them.
At present, the number of seats held by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the house of Representatives is 256 and 178 respectively. It is reasonable to say that as the supporters of the Democratic Party, it should be very easy for the westrow system to pass a bill, but the fact is far from that. The Democratic Party is not monolithic, and the westrow system is not welcomed by all Democrats.
It's easy to imagine that Democratic legislators with the support of traditional print media groups behind the scenes will not stand on the side of westrow system and continue to watch igritte grow.
Seeing that Simon was just looking down at a document he had brought with him, Joseph shipp continued: "Connecticut congressman David merough, together with several other congressmen, is currently seeking to push forward an Internet media regulation bill," he said. He rummaged through a pile of information he had brought in front of Simon for a moment, and said, "that's it, so let's go If we want to pass the digital rights act, we probably need some exchanges. In addition, many members of Congress, both parties, are also seeking to relax the ban on cross media ownership. This is also our opportunity. "
Although everyone knows that emerging Internet platforms such as igritte portal have media attributes, igritte itself locates its news and information department as a content publisher rather than a media company. The key lies in the completely different supervision of these two fields.
The publishing industry in the United States has a strong degree of freedom, and the media industry is subject to strict supervision because of the provisions on freedom of speech in the constitution of the United States.
Among them, the "ban on cross media ownership" is a big curse that binds newspapers, television and other traditional media. This is a bill issued by the United States in the 1960s. Since the Nixon era, many media giants have been lobbying to relax the ban.
In order to avoid media manipulation of public opinion, the main provisions of the "ban on cross media ownership" include that a media group shall not own more than two newspapers in the same area, shall not own newspapers and TV stations in the same area at the same time, shall not own more than 12 local TV stations directly under the jurisdiction of a media company, and the audience market share of large public TV networks shall not exceed 35%.
Over the past few years, the westrow system has been able to mobilize 17 parliamentary votes in the house of Representatives and 6 in the Senate. These are all members who will definitely stand on the side of the westrow system if necessary, and they seem to have a small proportion, but they are already a political capital that can not be underestimated. At the same time, they are also the bargaining chips that schlap said.
Simon has a good memory.
Congressman David Melrose of Connecticut, who was introduced to him by William Hurst III when he attended the Hurst family party, took it for granted that the other party led the Internet media regulation bill because of the stalemate between the westrow system and the traditional paper media forces.
The relaxation of the "ban on cross media ownership" is also an urgent need for traditional media groups to maintain their position in the Internet industry.
Hurst group, cantenas group, New York Times Group and so on, these deep-rooted traditional print media, together, will only have a lot more parliamentary votes than the Westeros system. If the two sides reach an agreement to win an additional 20 House votes for the passage of the digital rights act, it will be easy.
It is obvious that the main obstacle to the passage of the digital rights act probably lies in these print media.Simon quickly collated the information in his mind, suddenly looked up at Joseph schrap, with a smile on his lips, and said, "no one wants to reconcile, right?"
Joseph schrap was stunned. He was still thinking about how to pick up the topic, but Simon had already guessed it.
Because he is familiar with his boss's character and the current relationship between the westero system and the print media, Joseph schrap is very cautious about helping some people pass on messages. After all, he is working for the westero system and Simon westero, and the whole schrap family and other stakeholders attach great importance to their current status in the westero system. He absolutely does not want to make Simon feel that he is not loyal to the westero system because of this message.
In recent years, even before the rise of the Internet industry, under the impact of the increasingly prosperous television industry, the huge paper media industry in the United States has begun to decline.
No matter Hurst group, cantenas group and others are seeking to develop in the field of television. That's why Hurst group snatched 20% of the shares of ESPN television network from danielis entertainment.
However, the traditional paper media has not yet completed the transformation to the television industry, the Internet has been surging, and has formed a more direct and strong impact on the paper media industry.
The first thing that old media forces think of is naturally blocking and confrontation.
But now it seems that this kind of targeted effect is not big.
She wanted to compromise vestero by suppressing danilisi entertainment in disguise, but in the end danilisi entertainment came out with big selling works one by one. Danielis entertainment compressed the film and television advertising for the paper media, and developed Internet marketing channels, instead of making the traditional paper media steal the chicken.
On the other hand, in less than four years, the popularity of Internet users in the United States has reached 30% of the total population, which is far faster than the initial promotion of television. Perhaps within 10 years, the popularity of the Internet will catch up with that of television networks.
Since the confrontation is ineffective, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to follow the trend.
"The New York Times is going to launch an electronic version in the near future. You know, Simon, if there is no igritte portal to support and guide traffic, the other side will not have much development at all," Joseph schrap said
Snape has another subtext.
If the electronic edition of the New York Times wants to gain a firm foothold on the Internet platform, it will inevitably mean a direct competition with igritte's news and information business.
Moreover, because the services provided by the two are similar, users will inevitably prefer free igrit portal information instead of spending money to subscribe to e-newspapers, which is an inevitable conflict of interest. If the two sides want to reconcile and cooperate, igritte portal will definitely make some concessions.
Compared with the deep-rooted old print media, the news and Information Department of igrit portal is still very weak.
In terms of the number of employees, the New York Times Group is just a newspaper of the New York Times, with more than 1600 employees around the world. With the development of igritte's news and information department, the team size has just reached 500.
In order to lead other competitors astray, Simon listed news information as igrit's top priority business, but in fact, news information has never been igrit's core business. If igrit portal could get the online news authorization of traditional paper media group, Simon would not invest a lot of resources to set up his own news and information team.
Therefore, for outsiders, making concessions in this field may touch igritte's core interests, but it is not the case.
On the other hand, if the old media such as the New York Times can digitize the large amount of print information they own, it can definitely enrich the content resources of the Internet platform to a great extent, which Simon has been promoting. Only when the online content resources are rich enough can igrit's search engine business get better development.
Moreover, although Simon made up his mind to let igritte grow savagely, he would not object if he could reach a settlement with some large paper media.
One more friend is always better than one more enemy.
Joseph schrap's suggestion was already very obvious. Simon thought about it and asked, "behind the scenes of the New York Times, eh, the salisberg family?"
At the present stage, the traditional American newspapers are basically controlled by various old families, such as the Hurst family, the controller of the Hurst group, the Salzberg family behind the New York Times Group, the Graham family behind the Washington Post Group, the Newhouse family, the owner of the cantenas group, and so on.
Joseph schrap nodded and said, "Simon, if you have time, Arthur salisberg Jr., the current publisher of the New York Times, would like to meet you."
Simon did not immediately agree.
The last contact with the Hurst family was not pleasant. Rupert Murdoch, who had a good relationship, was also an old fox. Now that the other party has just tested, Simon is in a hurry to respond. It's hard to say what kind of moth the salisberg family will produce.After thinking about it for a moment, Simon said, "I have to return to Los Angeles this afternoon. If the other party has time, let him come to the west coast. I can serve him anytime."
Joseph schrap probably knows Simon's mind. The stalemate between his boss and the Hurst family has not eased at all. Even he has not seen the arrogance of the old media family. Since the initiative is on the side of the westero system, it is necessary for the other party to make some low profile if they want to reconcile.
Then he continued to talk about some other things, such as the 1994 mid-term election, the capital gains tax reform act, the lifting of the ban on media industry integration, and the telecommunication act being prepared by the Clinton administration, etc. until noon, he asked him to stay for lunch, and Simon boarded the plane returning to Los Angeles at 1 p.m.
In the study in the front cabin of the Boeing 767.
After the plane calmed down, girl a came in to report on the information from Britain in the morning, and finally said, "boss, the matter of Yulia schulthina has been handled. Do you need to arrange her to come to the United States?"
Simon was still reading the documents left by Joseph schrap in the morning. Hearing the words, he wondered, "what?"
Alison repeated, "Yulia schulthina."
Simon then remembered that the ballet teacher of a group of girls from London fruit Nana was a Slavic girl in line with the spirit image in his heart.
The last time I saw the London girls practicing ballet with Janet, I found each other and told them to go on. I got the information a few days ago.
It's very common for a little woman in the turbulent background of a big era. Her advantages and disadvantages are probably too beautiful.
Yulia schulshigina, 31, has been married once and has a three-year-old daughter. The girl came to London with a British banker two years ago. To be exact, she was cheated to London by a glib British banker. The other Party promised marriage and green card, but it didn't come true.
The banker has a family and a room, but he just wants to raise each other as lovers, and even to control the mother and daughter, he deliberately does not solve the green card problem for them.
The girl had already accepted her life. Unexpectedly, the banker, who was rich in wealth, went in the wrong direction in the 92 pound crisis and was completely defeated. Not only did she lose all her wealth, but she also owed millions of pounds of debt, and her marriage broke down. Bankers with nothing can no longer support their Russian lovers, but also force them to find jobs to subsidize themselves.
When the staff of the westrow system came into contact with the girl, the banker was even planning to sell the mother and daughter to the London windmill together, and the price was agreed, 150000.
Simon didn't feel that much.
In the turbulent times, there were countless people who were more wandering. Since they met each other, they sent the broken banker to prison and arranged everything for a mother and daughter.
Of course, Simon did not hide his desire for possession. He's never been a good, bad guy. However, the Russian girl only knows that she has become a subordinate of the big figures behind the scenes of the London villa girls, and it is not clear about Simon's identity.
Simon is just a habitual collector, and there is no lack of women around him. So he shook his head: "let her continue to teach the girls to dance in London. By the way, don't let the girls practice their toes, as if the toes of ballet dancers are not very beautiful."
Alison nodded, puzzled, and rummaged through the folder she held in her arms. She found a picture and said, "no, it's beautiful."
Simon reached for the photo and looked at it. This is a photo of a Russian girl's dancing posture. Although she is wearing thin white silk stockings, she can still recognize a pair of small and perfect feet.
Girl a said: "I know something about it. A lot of toe deformations of ballet dancers are caused by improper training methods, which is very professional for Yulia."
Simon recalled the last time he saw Russian girls teach girls to practice martial arts. Although he didn't know much about ballet, he could feel Yulia's professionalism at that time.
After putting down the photo, Simon said: "in a word, don't practice toe tips. Girls don't want to be professional ballet dancers. In addition, collect a piece of information about the family behind the major federal print media group for me, starting with the salisberg family behind the New York Times, and try to be more detailed. "
Alison nodded. Seeing that Simon had no other orders, she turned and left the study.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Simon's arrival in Greenwich also brought him bad news.

At the same time, they are also the bargaining chips that schlap said. Simon has a good memory. Congressman David Melrose of Connecticut, who was introduced to him by William Hurst III when he attended the Hurst family party, took it for granted that the other party led the Internet media regulation bill because of the stalemate between the westrow system and the traditional paper media forces. The relaxation of the "ban on cross media ownership" is also an urgent need for traditional media groups to maintain their position in the Internet industry. Hurst group, cantenas group, New York Times Group and so on, these deep-rooted traditional print media, together, will only have a lot more parliamentary votes than the Westeros system. If the two sides reach an agreement to win an additional 20 House votes for the passage of the digital rights act, it will be easy. It is obvious that the main obstacle to the passage of the digital rights act probably lies in these print media.Simon quickly collated the information in his mind, suddenly looked up at Joseph schrap, with a smile on his lips, and said, "no one wants to reconcile, right?" Joseph schrap was stunned. He was still thinking about how to pick up the topic, but Simon had already guessed it. Because he is familiar with his boss's character and the current relationship between the westero system and the print media, Joseph schrap is very cautious about helping some people pass on messages. After all, he is working for the westero system and Simon westero, and the whole schrap family and other stakeholders attach great importance to their current status in the westero system. He absolutely does not want to make Simon feel that he is not loyal to the westero system because of this message. In recent years, even before the rise of the Internet industry, under the impact of the increasingly prosperous television industry, the huge paper media industry in the United States has begun to decline. No matter Hurst group, cantenas group and others are seeking to develop in the field of television. That's why Hurst group snatched 20% of the shares of ESPN television network from danielis entertainment. However, the traditional paper media has not yet completed the transformation to the television industry, the Internet has been surging, and has formed a more direct and strong impact on the paper media industry. The first thing that old media forces think of is naturally blocking and confrontation. But now it seems that this kind of targeted effect is not big. She wanted to compromise vestero by suppressing danilisi entertainment in disguise, but in the end danilisi entertainment came out with big selling works one by one. Danielis entertainment compressed the film and television advertising for the paper media, and developed Internet marketing channels, instead of making the traditional paper media steal the chicken. On the other hand, in less than four years, the popularity of Internet users in the United States has reached 30% of the total population, which is far faster than the initial promotion of television. Perhaps within 10 years, the popularity of the Internet will catch up with that of television networks. Since the confrontation is ineffective, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice to follow the trend. "The New York Times is going to launch an electronic version in the near future. You know, Simon, if there is no igritte portal to support and guide traffic, the other side will not have much development at all," Joseph schrap said Snape has another subtext. If the electronic edition of the New York Times wants to gain a firm foothold on the Internet platform, it will inevitably mean a direct competition with igritte's news and information business. Moreover, because the services provided by the two are similar, users will inevitably prefer free igrit portal information instead of spending money to subscribe to e-newspapers, which is an inevitable conflict of interest. If the two sides want to reconcile and cooperate, igritte portal will definitely make some concessions. Compared with the deep-rooted old print media, the news and Information Department of igrit portal is still very weak. In terms of the number of employees, the New York Times Group is just a newspaper of the New York Times, with more than 1600 employees around the world. With the development of igritte's news and information department, the team size has just reached 500. In order to lead other competitors astray, Simon listed news information as igrit's top priority business, but in fact, news information has never been igrit's core business. If igrit portal could get the online news authorization of traditional paper media group, Simon would not invest a lot of resources to set up his own news and information team. Therefore, for outsiders, making concessions in this field may touch igritte's core interests, but it is not the case. On the other hand, if the old media such as the New York Times can digitize the large amount of print information they own, it can definitely enrich the content resources of the Internet platform to a great extent, which Simon has been promoting. Only when the online content resources are rich enough can igrit's search engine business get better development. Moreover, although Simon made up his mind to let igritte grow savagely, he would not object if he could reach a settlement with some large paper media. One more friend is always better than one more enemy. Joseph schrap's suggestion was already very obvious. Simon thought about it and asked, "behind the scenes of the New York Times, eh, the salisberg family?" At the present stage, the traditional American newspapers are basically controlled by various old families, such as the Hurst family, the controller of the Hurst group, the Salzberg family behind the New York Times Group, the Graham family behind the Washington Post Group, the Newhouse family, the owner of the cantenas group, and so on. Joseph schrap nodded and said, "Simon, if you have time, Arthur salisberg Jr., the current publisher of the New York Times, would like to meet you." Simon did not immediately agree. The last contact with the Hurst family was not pleasant. Rupert Murdoch, who had a good relationship, was also an old fox. Now that the other party has just tested, Simon is in a hurry to respond. It's hard to say what kind of moth the salisberg family will produce.After thinking about it for a moment, Simon said, "I have to return to Los Angeles this afternoon. If the other party has time, let him come to the west coast. I can serve him anytime." Joseph schrap probably knows Simon's mind. The stalemate between his boss and the Hurst family has not eased at all. Even he has not seen the arrogance of the old media family. Since the initiative is on the side of the westero system, it is necessary for the other party to make some low profile if they want to reconcile. Then he continued to talk about some other things, such as the 1994 mid-term election, the capital gains tax reform act, the lifting of the ban on media industry integration, and the telecommunication act being prepared by the Clinton administration, etc. until noon, he asked him to stay for lunch, and Simon boarded the plane returning to Los Angeles at 1 p.m. In the study in the front cabin of the Boeing 767. After the plane calmed down, girl a came in to report on the information from Britain in the morning, and finally said, "boss, the matter of Yulia schulthina has been handled. Do you need to arrange her to come to the United States?" Simon was still reading the documents left by Joseph schrap in the morning. Hearing the words, he wondered, "what?" Alison repeated, "Yulia schulthina." Simon then remembered that the ballet teacher of a group of girls from London fruit Nana was a Slavic girl in line with the spirit image in his heart. The last time I saw the London girls practicing ballet with Janet, I found each other and told them to go on. I got the information a few days ago. It's very common for a little woman in the turbulent background of a big era. Her advantages and disadvantages are probably too beautiful. Yulia schulshigina, 31, has been married once and has a three-year-old daughter. The girl came to London with a British banker two years ago. To be exact, she was cheated to London by a glib British banker. The other Party promised marriage and green card, but it didn't come true. The banker has a family and a room, but he just wants to raise each other as lovers, and even to control the mother and daughter, he deliberately does not solve the green card problem for them. The girl had already accepted her life. Unexpectedly, the banker, who was rich in wealth, went in the wrong direction in the 92 pound crisis and was completely defeated. Not only did she lose all her wealth, but she also owed millions of pounds of debt, and her marriage broke down. Bankers with nothing can no longer support their Russian lovers, but also force them to find jobs to subsidize themselves. When the staff of the westrow system came into contact with the girl, the banker was even planning to sell the mother and daughter to the London windmill together, and the price was agreed, 150000. Simon didn't feel that much. In the turbulent times, there were countless people who were more wandering. Since they met each other, they sent the broken banker to prison and arranged everything for a mother and daughter. Of course, Simon did not hide his desire for possession. He's never been a good, bad guy. However, the Russian girl only knows that she has become a subordinate of the big figures behind the scenes of the London villa girls, and it is not clear about Simon's identity. Simon is just a habitual collector, and there is no lack of women around him. So he shook his head: "let her continue to teach the girls to dance in London. By the way, don't let the girls practice their toes, as if the toes of ballet dancers are not very beautiful." Alison nodded, puzzled, and rummaged through the folder she held in her arms. She found a picture and said, "no, it's beautiful." Simon reached for the photo and looked at it. This is a photo of a Russian girl's dancing posture. Although she is wearing thin white silk stockings, she can still recognize a pair of small and perfect feet. Girl a said: "I know something about it. A lot of toe deformations of ballet dancers are caused by improper training methods, which is very professional for Yulia." Simon recalled the last time he saw Russian girls teach girls to practice martial arts. Although he didn't know much about ballet, he could feel Yulia's professionalism at that time. After putting down the photo, Simon said: "in a word, don't practice toe tips. Girls don't want to be professional ballet dancers. In addition, collect a piece of information about the family behind the major federal print media group for me, starting with the salisberg family behind the New York Times, and try to be more detailed. " Alison nodded. Seeing that Simon had no other orders, she turned and left the study.
