當下正火的“小咖秀”也有英文版

Dubsmash is a new mobile app that lets you record a video of yourself, synced to a preselected sound clip, such as a well-known quote from a movie or a popular song, and then share the video on the social media.

Dubsmash是一款新的移動應用程序，你可以在這個程序里選定一段音頻，比如知名電影里的一段臺詞或者流行歌曲里的幾句歌詞，然后通過對口型的方式錄制一段對應的表演視頻，并將其分享到社交媒體。

看了上面的描述，大家有沒有覺得這個應用很熟悉?對啦，最近在國內社交媒體上大火的“小咖秀”就是與Dubsmash很相似的一款應用。我們先來欣賞一段明星小咖秀的視頻。

When Dubsmash founders, Jonas Drüppel, Roland Grenke and Daniel Taschik, created the app, they had an inkling they were on to something. But, after failing to conquer the iOS app store twice before, they couldn't have known for certain that they had a smash hit on their hands.

Dubsmash的三位開發(fā)者喬納斯、羅蘭德和丹尼爾最初研發(fā)這款應用時，就有跡象表明他們會成功。可是，在被蘋果應用商店兩次拒絕之后，他們不確定自己手上的產(chǎn)品能不能一舉成功。

However, just seven days after officially launching on November 19th 2014, they'd reached the number one spot in their home country of Germany. A success that would soon be replicated in 29 countries, including the UK, France and Holland.

該應用于2014年11月19日正式發(fā)布，僅僅7天之后就登上了德國應用下載排行榜首位。此后，該應用迅速在29個國家登上應用下載首位，其中包括英國、法國和荷蘭。

There's obvious potential copyright issues inherent in Dubsmash, since the majority of uploaded sounds are from unlicensed content, namely TV and film sound clips.

由于大部分上傳的音頻都是從未授權的電視和電影中截取的內容，所以該應用可能面臨版權問題。

Thus far, however, this hasn't been a problem, says Grenke. Should that change, the startup plans to work within a ‘take-down notice' model when a license holder complains.

不過，開發(fā)人員羅蘭德說目前為止還沒有出現(xiàn)版權問題。一旦情況有變，如果有版權方投訴，他們就實行“下架通知”模式。
