Chapter 321 Copyright Attribution
Just some time ago, Meng He received internal notices from major novel websites.
In fact, it is not a notice, but a proposal issued by the Apocalypse Network!
In this proposal, Apocalypse proposes that all novel platforms re-divide the copyright of the author of the novel and sign a contract!
To put it simply, in the past, the copyright of the novel belonged to the author, but now, it is all collected on the platform.
In other words, what you, the author of fiction, write, belong to the platform.
Apocalypse not only has to do it itself, but also all the websites need to implement it together!
As soon as this proposal was issued, the major platforms exploded instantly!
Copyright ownership, this is not a trivial matter!
It's like a child's birth certificate, which previously stated that the child's parents were its biological parents.
Now this birth certificate says that the child's parents are hospital!
Isn't that a mess?
But what the Apocalypse online article said is very reasonable.
Taking away the copyright may be an exaggeration, but it is of great benefit to the major platforms.
With the continuous expansion of IP adaptations of online novels, more and more novels are being adapted into film and television dramas, games, or audiobooks.
Before, all this money was made by those authors.
And now, as long as the copyright is taken away, the money can be earned by the platform.
That's a lot of income!
Moreover, the platform can also use this as a threat to tie up those authors.
This trick is simply a multiplicity!
Many platforms are thrilled when they see this proposal.
And after Meng He saw it, he wanted to talk to Shen Yu for the first time, but who knew about meeting Lin Yue again.
As a result, this issue has been delayed again and again!
Until yesterday!
Apocalypse was the first to make an announcement.
At this moment, the entire online literature circle exploded.
The major novel platforms and major forums are overwhelmingly discussing this matter.
Many of the authors of the Apocalypse online article directly launched a protest.
But Shen Yu felt that the protest would not last long.
Apocalypse is a big platform, and there are many authors who want to eat under their hands.
What if a handful of authors stop working? Apocalypse online articles can spend resources to support another group of people!
Want to force these capitals to kneel in the form of strikes?
Impossible!
After the Apocalypse online article, the rest of the online text platforms also failed to issue announcements to explain copyright-related issues.
These websites are not as rigid as the Apocalypse website, and they want to revise the contract directly, and these small websites all indicate that a new version of the contract will be directly issued in the new year.
Although the announcement doesn't say what this new contract looks like for the time being, everyone understands it!
The sky in the online literature industry has completely changed!
At this time, how should they deal with their novels?
In just one night, in the various novel author groups of Qianwen Novels, one by one news bounced out like crazy.
They are all afraid that Qianwen Novel will also change the ownership of copyright at this time.
Many of the novel's updates have been directly suspended.
They are using this attitude to force Meng He to make a statement.
And what about the Mon River? He was still waiting for Shen Yu to make a statement.
After listening to Meng He's analysis, Shen Yu asked.
"How many platforms have not published announcements of copyright modifications?"
Meng He said.
"Except for those small platforms that can't be smaller, among the slightly larger platforms, we are the only ones who have not made an announcement!"
Shen Yu's brows furrowed slightly.
"So exaggerated?"
He originally thought that there should be a few platforms that would not approve of the domineering approach of Apocalypse.
After all, the bosses of many novel platforms, like Meng He, couldn't stand the pressure and came out to do it alone.
As a result, the dragon slayer eventually became an evil dragon?
Meng He said.
"Apocalypse online article puts pressure on every fiction platform! Not all platforms are as resilient as we are. ”
The big platforms also want to make more money, so they naturally agree with the method of the Apocalypse.
The small platform can't stand the run on the Apocalypse website.
Among these platforms, Qianwen Novel is the most unique existence.
Meng He and Shen Yu can resist!
But at this time, Meng He was still a little anxious.
"Lao Shen, only we haven't expressed our position, everyone is looking at us!"
"We only have two choices now, either to stand on the side of the Apocalypse Online Text, or to completely stand on the opposite side of all the novel platforms in the online literature world!"
The choice was very important.
Once Qianwen Novel does not make an announcement, their future opponents will not only be the Apocalypse Online Article, but all the platforms in the entire online literature industry!
The pressure is going up!
Shen Yu held up his mobile phone and asked lightly.
"Old Meng, do you care about pressure?"
Meng He smiled.
"I've been under pressure all these years!"
When there was no Shen Yu, he was frightened every day, and walked forward under the pressure of the Apocalypse Net.
Right now?
He doesn't care anymore!
Shen Yu said.
"At the beginning, I chose Qianwen Novel to publish a book because the atmosphere of this platform is very good and the environment is relaxed."
"There are not so many rules and regulations, and there are no tempers like big platforms!"
"Although I am full now, I still hope that people in the future will be able to eat this bowl of rice as well!"
"You know!"
Meng He laughed.
"Okay, then I won't make an announcement!"
Shen Yu shook his head and said.
"Nope! Still have to send! ”
"How can you reassure those authors!"
"But you can't post it in public, you can post it privately in these author groups."
Of course, Qianwen Novel can't declare war on various websites publicly, but it's different if it's distributed privately.
The relationships of these online writers are quite extensive.
Some authors are running around between several platforms.
As long as they can publicize these notices everywhere, they may not be able to bring back a large number of authors to join the door of Qianwen Novels!
This is a yang conspiracy!
Meng He laughed very much on the phone.
He seems to have imagined a large number of small pictures of the author's novels.
Finally, Meng He asked.
"By the way, didn't you say that you would rewrite a new version of "Heavenly Dragon" yourself? How much has been written? ”
"Haven't written it yet!"
"Hahaha! You're a fucking asshole! Lie to the reader again! ”
"I said that it may not be sent until next year! Attention is possible! I didn't say it was certain. ”
Finally, after a bit of bragging, the two hung up.
And Meng He set out to have people write an announcement and send it out immediately.
And at this moment, in the building of the Apocalypse Net, Lan Wenjie walked through the busy crowd and walked into an office.
In the office, a thin man looked a little surprised when he saw Lan Wenjie come in.
"Yo! Wenjie! Why did you think you came to me? ”
