Recently, the police in Nanhu District, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province cracked a huge copyright infringement case.
At the symposium on major copyright infringement cases held in Jiaxing City, the well-known writer Yi Zhongtian attended the symposium. In order to express his gratitude to the police for cracking the copyright infringement case, he personally wrote the four-character praise of "Jia Zhuang Xing Xing", and returned it to the policemen who participated in the war. They presented the book "Cao Cao" signed by him.
"Cao Cao" tells the story of Cao Cao's ups and downs from the age of 35 to 66 during the Three Kingdoms period. The book has been sought after by readers since its publication, and has set a record of selling nearly 140,000 books in 90 minutes on the e-commerce platform. However, this masterpiece, which devoted Yi Zhongtian's countless painstaking efforts, was "stared" by criminals.
On December 18, 2022, the "Anti-Pornography and Anti-illegal Affairs" Office of Nanhu District, Jiaxing City received reports from the masses that an e-commerce platform was selling a large number of pirated copies of Yi Zhongtian's new book "Cao Cao". The Jiaxing Municipal Public Security Bureau's Food and Drug Environment Investigation Detachment quickly launched an investigation. After cooperating with the publisher, it was determined that the e-commerce store was selling a variety of pirated books.
On December 28, 2022, the Nanhu Branch of the Jiaxing Municipal Public Security Bureau filed a case for investigation, and immediately established a joint task force composed of city and county publicity departments and public security organs, opening the curtain on the battlefield of "anti-pornography and illegal activities". "The information published by the store is not necessarily the actual person involved in the case, and there may be multiple gangs and multiple upstream and downstream organizations cooperating to commit crimes." The police said that the case was very complicated.
The special case team conducted several meetings, analyzed and judged massive amounts of suspicious data involving e-commerce stores, and quickly launched an all-round investigation for all possible clues. After more than 60 days of investigation, the special case team found out the personnel structure of the bookseller, printing house, and e-commerce sales team involved in the pirated books in many places across the country.
At the beginning of March, the public security organs at the Jiaxing city and county levels organized more than 100 police forces to go to 4 provinces and 6 places across the country to carry out unified network collection, arrested 35 criminal suspects such as Wang Moumou and Liu Moumou, and destroyed two illegal printing companies. 10 sales dens of illegal infringing copies, seized and seized more than 720,000 finished copies of infringing copies, worth more than 30 million yuan ("mayang" is the total price of the books involved in the case), and the total amount involved in the case was as high as 120 million yuan.
After investigation, since March 2020, the criminal suspects Wang Moumou, Liu Moumou, Sun Moumou and others respectively set up storage dens in other provinces and illegally printed a large number of pirated books such as "Cao Cao" and "Details of the Rule of Law" from different places. It is sold externally through e-commerce platform stores controlled by Zhang and other gangs.
At present, the 10 main suspects in this case, including Wang Moumou, Liu Moumou, and Sun Moumou, have been taken criminal detention compulsory measures by Nanhu police according to law, and the case is under further investigation.
It is reported that this case is the largest copyright infringement case cracked in Jiaxing this year.
