February 27 news, the People's Court of Haidian District in Beijing has already ruled on December 20th last year that Tencent Corporation won the lawsuit against the copyright infringement of the Coral Bug version of QQ. A spokesperson for Tencent stated that the software author, Chen Shoufu, was ordered to compensate Tencent for an economic loss of 100,000 yuan. This ruling may likely lead to the cessation of updates for the Coral Bug version of QQ.
Industry insiders speculate that due to concerns about provoking resistance from long-term users of the Coral Bug version of QQ, Tencent adopted a low-profile approach after winning the lawsuit. Recently, informed individuals have made the verdict public. On the afternoon of the 27th, a spokesperson for Tencent told Sina Tech that Chen Shoufu has complied with the court's judgment, paid the compensation, and apologized on his website.
