Chapter 168: Creation and Sharing
"So let's sum up the current situation. ”
After obtaining the basic trust value, Guan Li and Wen Shen quickly carried out in-depth exchanges and successfully reached a consensus on cooperation matters.
Wen Shen will use the pen name "Wen Weifu" to create a long story on the background of the world of "The Cthulhu Mythos".
The exact length and content have not yet been determined, but the copyright of the book will be made public.
"Disclosed under a CC license. Guan Li added, "Do you know about this agreement?"
"Know...... Right?" Wen Shen replied very unsure.
Guan Li: "......" you know, what the hell is it?
In order to avoid the unexpected situation caused by the unclear terms, he had to popularize science from the other party.
The CC license, also known as the Creative Commons license, is an internationally accepted form of creative licensing.
It is widely used in many online creations to increase the possibility of circulation of creative works.
Creative Commons allows the copyright holder to specify different licensing terms, and the conditions specified by Guan Li for Cthulhu Mythos are the same as for the SCP Foundation in the previous life.
- Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (CC BY-SA 3.0)
Among them, BY and SA are the conditions for copyright sharing.
BY stands for "Name Marking" and SA stands for "ShareAlike".
This also means that as long as the original author is signed, the authorized work can be copied, reprinted, modified and recreated in any media and in any form.
At the same time, derivative works that are modified or derived from the licensed work must be released only in accordance with this agreement.
There are no other conditions.
Even if it is used for commercialization, as long as it is attributed and the derivative work is marked as complying with the CC BY-SA license, it is completely legal.
Wen Shen used a rather straightforward sentence to explain his understanding: "It is to allow borrowing and piracy." ”
"No...... Well, it's okay if you want to understand it that way. Guan Li didn't bother to elaborate further.
Wenshen's book for Cthulhu will be made public.
Guan Li will download the work of another world from the Time and Space Copyright Bureau and share it with him privately.
According to the system, such an individual's act of dissemination will not be judged to be illegal.
"It's like buying a book and lending it to someone else to read. The system explained, "It's completely normal!"
Guan Li asked another question: "Can you let him go to the Time and Space Copyright Office to download it by himself?"
After the last time You Wei asked, Guan Li also became interested in "how to join the Space-Time Copyright Office".
The answer is very simple.
As long as you have an understanding of the "Temporal Copyright Office", you can write/type this name on any medium, and you will be able to see the official website page of the Copyright Office in a form that conforms to the current medium.
There is no threshold, full coverage of time and space, and there is no need to connect to the Internet!
The Space-Time Copyright Office welcomes all visitors.
"Can you download it yourself?" the system asked back.
Guan Li: "...... No. At that time, he searched for a long time and couldn't find a way to download it.
"That's the end of it. "Wen Shen definitely can't.
The Space-Time Copyright Office is first and foremost a copyright management agency and a law enforcement agency.
Selling cultural products and everything else is a side business that has developed incidentally.
The trading area cannot be opened to ordinary people who come up casually.
At the very least, you must register an account and then verify it as a full member to be eligible.
What do ordinary people take to download?
Can you pull out the currency of the multiverse in the face of paid content?
What's more, there are many high-risk goods in it.
In the event of any anomalous artwork, it's not impossible for a world to just get into it.
It is therefore important to set thresholds in this regard.
Guan Liyou didn't give up, "I remember you said that there is a ...... for free downloads"
Last time the Muse songs were free!
Mr. Luo's books have passed the copyright protection period, even if they can't be infringed across the world, they should be free to download......
"Oh, that's my privilege as the official system of the Copyright Office. "As a privileged class, the system is not proud at all," there is no such thing as a free lunch, administrator. ”
So, don't think about bypassing it and downloading some weird otherworldly cultural products!
Don't think the system doesn't know what you're thinking all day!
It just doesn't want to care.
“…… In other words, I can only download it through you, and you will refuse my 'unreasonable request'. Guan Li paused and thought for a moment, "But if Wen Shen specifies a certain type of work, you shouldn't refuse." ”
System: "!!"
"After all, this is the condition of our cooperation with him, and it is 'justified'. ”
The system still wants to struggle, "Administrator!"
"As an intelligent person, you will interfere with my private life because of your personality and emotions, but as a system, you will never interfere with my 'own work' for emotional reasons. ”
The system struggles and can't.
"Hey, that's so nice. Guan Li won another game.
From now on, Wen Weifu will be his shield!
Shielding also felt that he had taken a big advantage, "It's a pity that I have to do my best to do the animation of "World Trial" now, and I can't spare the energy to write a book for the time being. Can you send me the Cthulhu series as soon as possible? I'll take a look at it in my free time and get acquainted with this style......"
His thoughts are clear.
So Guan straightened out the system and sent it to download the "Cthulhu Mythos" series of works, and happily chatted with new netizens.
Well, chat with memos.
"It's almost fast.,It's downloading.,I'll send it to you directly when it's done.。 ”
"I didn't expect that I could also see works from other worlds, the time-traveler is so happy, the space-time copyright office is awesome!"
"That's right, isn't the greatest benefit of crossing over a world of cultural products to enjoy? ”
"I think the same thing as you, but I'm more inclined to stand up and influence the times. The feeling of rewriting the pop style and stirring the cultural trend is very addictive. ”
"So you changed careers and became an animation screenwriter?"
"I've reached the top of this path, and if I want to break through, trying other paths may be inspiring. ”
"Was that inspiring?"
"Yes, yes...... But it's not what I expected. You know, I'm a hopelessly hard-set sci-fi school myself. ”
"As a result, not a single science fiction book was written. ”
"The shortcomings of the strong setting author are obvious, the plot and characters are often in the service of the development of the world setting, and the rhythm of its own narrative is not too good, but it is covered up by the ideas thrown at high speed. ”
"You think that...... What do you think of the other authors below you?"
"In the process of making "World Trial", I had another idea. Without adding any surreal settings, can you write a documentary that purely wins with the plot?"
"Documentary?"
"Documentary of online creation, documentary of animation production, documentary of cultural conflict, documentary of the changes of the times. ”
"You want to write about contemporary culture wars. ”
"Yes. ”
"Nonfiction writing?"
"No, the story is still fictional, the environment and emotions are real. ”
"Hmm...... There's an animated short film with a somewhat similar theme, and I don't know if you've seen it. ”
"It's "The Cycle of Words and Kills", right, I've seen that short film, and part of the inspiration came from there. But the angle is still different, the main focus of "Words to Kill" is on the conflict of several major cultural circles, and what I think of is...... The ideological awakening, change, or rebellion of the masses of the people?
"Memetic ......"
"What?"
"Memetic punk. ”
"I know punk, but what is a meme?"
"You wait, I'll find you a piece of science. ”
“?”
Wen Shen intuitively felt that this was a good thing.
