From the 25th of last month, Yuebai entered the new company to work, a company that advertises free reading. It's the kind of company that adds ads at the end of the chapter of the novel, charges the advertiser, and replaces the payment system for the VIP chapter.

At about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, at least 100 police officers suddenly broke into the company.

Mobile phones were confiscated, and personal freedom began to be controlled.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, at the same time, they began to be handcuffed and taken away.

At about half past one, Yuebai and the other 22 were roasted and sent to the Hidian Branch and Hidian Police Station at the same time.

Up to this point, I still don't know why I was arrested.

At 6 p.m., the recording began.

Only then did I know that the charge was called "copyright infringement" and involved criminal liability.

After recording the confession, he returned to the detention center, and conducted another poison test for urine and took pictures.

At about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, personal information was collected, including height, frontal photos, left and right side photos, ten fingerprints, palm prints, fist prints and blood DNA collection.

Back at the place of detention, I barely fell asleep on the table.

Consume only half a loaf of bread and two glasses of water throughout the day.

The next morning I woke up to 1 p.m., during which time I filled out various detention formalities. When filling in the formalities, Yuebai saw that she had contacted and confirmed with the public security bureau where her household registration was located.

At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, that is, at two o'clock this afternoon, because the time limit for seizure exceeded twenty-four hours, Yuebai was released.

However, the actual controlled time from 10 o'clock yesterday morning to 2 o'clock this afternoon is more than 28 hours.

The above is Yuebai's experience from yesterday to today.

Next, let's talk about what Yuebai wants.

First of all, when recording the transcript, when she saw "copyright infringement", Yuebai wanted to laugh a little.

Because, with the current situation, Yuebai's own books don't know how many times they have been infringed.

And the vast majority of websites, whether it is the one who writes the book now, the one that worked for before, or the one that caused Yuebai to be seized, have some gray drainage methods.

To put it bluntly, it is piracy drainage.

Although, this is not a good thing for the author, but this is one of the unspoken rules of the industry.

Therefore, what Yuebai was thinking at the time was that the house where Yuebai was working now was.

As for the people who make people, Yuebai suspects the two families.

However, although one of them has a similar style, because it has a cooperation with Yuebai's company, the answer is about to come out.

Of course, in any case, punishing piracy is a good thing for authors.

However, for the capitalists, this benefit for the author is only incidental.

Just like the person in charge of a free reading app under Qutoutiao said, at present, almost all novel websites and software, the content cost is actually only about 10% of the company's total cost.

Even, being able to really pay 10% is already considered "conscience".

In conclusion, this year is, to some extent, a year of change for online literature.

The VIP payment system, in a sense, has been exhausted.

Internet advertising revenue has always been one of the largest parts of Internet revenue, Google in the United States, China's bear, penguin, Ali's dad and beating bytes, advertising revenue is an important part of its revenue.

It can be said that advertising revenue, the contribution to Internet revenue, is comparable to that of games.

In the past two years, domestic advertising costs have also soared.

Thus, the possibility of advertising free reading was born.

The cost of the content is borne by the advertiser, and the reader is responsible for watching the content and the advertisement.

This is the same as the operating logic of most official accounts and even Toutiao.

This business model, compared with the VIP chapter payment system, has less "payment" threshold and a layer of filter.

To a certain extent, it represents a development trend and direction of novel reading in the future.

As for how to allocate the author's manuscript fee, some people say that the website must be opaque, but is the current subscription system transparent?

When a book is put on the shelves of the third-party channel, the income that the author gets is exploited by the middlemen, and the reader pays a piece, and the author may not get a dime.

The specific data involves a signed confidentiality agreement, and there is no way to disclose it, and Yuebai is also afraid of entering the palace twice.

However, as long as you know that all platforms are black-hearted businessmen who lie on the author and suck blood.

Therefore, free reading has good expectations on the basis of expanding the readership.

And in terms of manuscript fees, for content creators, that is, fiction authors, it is not necessarily a bad thing.

However, the entire market is still dominated by capital.

Everything is based on profit.

In that case, one can only accept everything that capital brings, whether good or bad.

Even, including the boiling "operation", is only a part of the "flow economy" of capital.

The world is bustling, and there is no pure land.

Hopefully, the road is tortuous, but the future is bright.
