Why does Huawei charge for everything, such as screensavers and fonts, as long as it can be changed?

At present, most screensavers, themes, wallpapers and fonts of domestic mobile phones are very expensive. After all, the authors who design these contents are not free workers, and they also need to get paid by selling their works. If all these things are free, no one will want to design a theme UI for mobile phones.

In the past, many mobile phone themes were indeed free, but in fact, if you look at them yourself, you will find that the theme of charging now is much better than that of free in the past. This is mainly because the theme author has more motivation and energy to design his own works after being paid, and tries his best to design the theme, UI and wallpaper more beautifully. Only in this way can we attract more users to buy and download their own themes and get more rewards.

Moreover, many of Huawei's charging themes are not achieved overnight, because the EMUI system of Huawei mobile phones is upgraded every year, and some flagship mobile phones can upgrade several generations of EMUI systems continuously. Every time the EMUI system is upgraded, the theme desktop and UI layout will change, which makes the past third-party themes may not be used normally. Some responsible authors will adapt to the new system as soon as the EMUI system is upgraded, so that the themes purchased by users are more suitable for the new system.

After the system is upgraded, the free theme may not work properly. Therefore, it is understandable that Huawei's mobile phone theme UI wallpaper and other elements adopt the charging mode. After all, it takes a lot of energy to design these visual elements. Some exquisite wallpapers are taken by photographers with great efforts and are worth paying for. Moreover, a theme of 6 yuan is not expensive, and it can be used for a long time if the theme author has been maintaining it.

There is also a charge for fonts. The fonts of Huawei theme stores generally come from? Founder? 、? Xiaoxiang? Font suppliers, including Founder, have heard about it. In the past, companies often used square fonts without giving money, and they would also be sued. Therefore, fonts are also works protected by copyright, and the charges are understandable. Some netizens said that the characters were created by ancestors, so why should they be charged?

But you know, the process of inputting words into computers and mobile phones is very complicated, and each word needs to be drawn separately. There are nearly 65,438+10,000 words in China, and there are tens of thousands of commonly used words. At present, the GBK font used by computers contains 2 1000 Chinese characters, and the less GB _ 23 12 also needs 6763 Chinese characters. Therefore, regular font drawing is a very huge project, which requires huge manpower and material resources. In other words, although the text is not copyrighted, the font is copyrighted. Founder and other text suppliers sell fonts to Huawei, and Huawei resells them to users. This is a routine practice of respecting copyright.

Besides, a font is only 6 yuan, which is not expensive strictly. Generally speaking, the theme, UI, wallpaper, dynamic desktop, fonts and other styles of Huawei mobile phones are all made by the creators themselves and are copyrighted. It is reasonable for Huawei to sell them. If users don't want to pay, they can use the official free theme wallpaper and fonts.
