Shen Xin stood up and quickly went downstairs, and Gao Hang and others also surrounded him.

"How?"

"It's a comic website with a D version, and a lot of comics are posted. Somewhat unexpectedly. ”

"Huh?"

"On the website, Duoman has the most comics."

Wang Wenhong knew that this was not very kind, but when he saw the comics of Duoman.com, appearing on such a website, he still couldn't help but chuckle.

"ComicFuture" and Duoman.com are in competition, and they have been competing for a whole year.

The pressure on ComicFuture is far greater than that of other magazines.

In this case, seeing that the opponent suffered such a loss, Wang Wenhong was unfortunately schadenfreude and was already very face-saving.

In fact, in the face of the current situation, it is difficult for him to gloat, because on this website, whether it is the click list, the collection list, or the recommendation list, the first place is "Steel".

Shen Xin couldn't laugh when he saw that "Steel Refining" was in the first place, so he could only sigh helplessly.

"There's good news, though." Wang Wenhong looked back at Shen Xin who was standing beside him.

"Huh?"

There is good news for this.

"The content of "Steel Forge" is incomplete, and there are only the last 50 chapters for the time being."

The muscles on Shen Xin's face twitched, hearing the news, but he was really not happy at all.

Even if there are only the last fifty episodes, "Steel Refining" still ranks first on the various rankings of the D version of the website, and Shen Xin didn't expect it.

As for the content of the last 50 episodes published on the website, it actually hurts him and "Steel" quite a lot, because the 18th volume has not been released so far.

said that it would not affect sales, and the ghost would believe it. He would rather post the first 50 words on the website.

"Other comics, "Ding Shi" has all of them, "Rock and Roll King" has 30 chapters, and "Hunting Abyss" has 40 chapters...... Comics with a length of less than 50 chapters are basically all available, and the same is true for other magazines. However, the comics that have been serialized are not complete, there is no "Chess Soul", and "The Legend of the Dragon King" is only a part. In comparison, the comics of the multi-comic network are quite complete. Wang Wenhong explained.

"Why? Isn't "Steel" as good as many comics on the Internet? Gao Hang behind him looked at it for a long time, and after roughly understanding the reason, he said unconvinced.

"Are you stupid? Is this a good thing? If it were all posted on the Internet, "Steel" would not be sold. Liu Rui glared at Gao Hang fiercely.

"Don't say it, I've got it." Gao Hang hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's just that the difficulty is different, there are many comics on the multi-comic network, that's because they can pick up pictures, as for the comics of ComicFuture, they either have a picture source, or they buy their own comic scans, but anyway, it will definitely have an impact on the sales of the 18th volume of "Steelborne"...... It is estimated that the sales of the 14th volume will not be sold anymore. Shen Xin frowned, and his mood became bad.

The pictures are all posted, so it's strange that they can be sold.

When Xi Muhan saw this scene, he also cried and mourned.

This kind of thing is not comfortable for anyone.

In particular, the first edition of volume 18 of "Steel Forge" has 2.3 million copies, and it is difficult to say whether it has been printed or not, but the list must have been ordered.

If "Steel Forge" hadn't sold, or had only sold less than 500,000 copies, the loss would have been really big.

"Sister Yan, what's going on over there?" Shen Xin turned his head and asked Yan Fei

"My side is slightly better, it's the D version of the 11th District website. However, ComicFuture comics are the majority. There are also multiman.com, but except for a few popular comics, which have been translated into Japanese, the others are all in Chinese. By the way, "Dancing Girls" also has a Japanese translation. ”

Yan Fei's eyes were staring at the screen, and her fingers kept tapping on the keyboard.

"Why are you still typing on the keyboard?" Wang Wenhong was puzzled.

"Chat with Mr. Tamagawa and ask him if he knows anything about the D version of the website."

"What did he say?" Shen Xin asked.

He said he knew that the site was also new. I heard him say that this website was originally just a forum, and some D versions of Chinese comics were circulated in private, but later, the resources increased, and I saw that there was a comic website coming out, and the income was good, so I crowdfunded a sum of money, plus they originally had membership funds, so they built a server and built such a website. ”

“……”

Shen Xin rolled his eyes, it seemed that there was no pure land anywhere.

"Won't 'Shonen Leap sue them?" Wang Wenhonghu said suspiciously.

"No, because their websites are all Chinese comics, and if the copyright owner himself does not file a lawsuit to get them to stop the infringement, it is useless for others to oppose it." Yan Fei explained, "Moreover, this website does not have "Steel", and "Young Leap" has no way, and I don't bother to negotiate with them. ”

"This is not the worst ......" Shen Xin laughed dryly, "Because of the 'safe harbor principle', even if these websites steal comics, they will not be punished in the first place." ”

"The 'safe harbor principle'?" It was the first time Xi Muhan heard this kind of thing, and Yan Fei had only heard about it slightly, and she had not had an in-depth understanding.

"The 'safe harbor principle' means that if an ISP only provides space for storage and does not produce content, they have an obligation to delete it after they are sued for infringement. However, if the ISP does not store the content on the server and does not inform them of the infringing content, then they are not liable for infringement. In other words, we can only fix the matter by notifying them first and then asking them to delete the content. Wang Wenhong explained.

"How can this be?" Xi Muhan looked depressed and clenched his little hand, "Then what should we do?" ”

"One step at a time. Even the 'safe harbor principle' has a premise, and the network service provider must not know about it in advance, so for these websites, the 'safe harbor principle' is not a 'sword'...... What to do next, it depends on the magazine and the multi-man. Remember what I just said? The D version can't kill us, but we can't put an end to the D version either. Now, it's just that the situation has become more serious......" Shen Xin said weakly.

When this happens, the author is often very powerless, even if they take the infringer to court, not to mention the "safe harbor" principle, even if everything goes well, by the time the results come out, it will be months or even a year later.

Even if it was Shen Xin, he didn't have the energy to take care of these things.

"It's not hard to find this website. The website in District 11, it is not ruled out that "Steel Refining" will also be posted in the future, Yan Fei, wait a while for you and "Young Leap", let them pay attention to this website...... I'm guessing ComicFuture has noticed it. Mr. Shen, you have been working hard lately, and you have to set aside a day to sign and sell books, so if you really can't persevere, then say it in advance, and I will ask the magazine for your leave. ”

Yan Fei also nodded, although the suspension of publication had a great impact on the magazine, the body of the cartoonist was obviously more important.

Shen Xin rolled his eyes, "What is my state, don't you know?" If you really want to help me, just deal with this matter quickly, this kind of thing will definitely not be comfortable in your heart. ”

Xi Muhan also nodded again and again.

"Don't worry, the magazine is more anxious than you...... 2.3 million copies, that's a lot of money. Wang Wenhong comforted.
