Now, he planned to ask a few friends to write a novel about his high school days. Because the content was complicated and many things needed to be recalled, it was impossible for him to finish it alone. In that case, how should the copyright be divided? Were there any precedents that could be used as a reference? Thank you.

The copyright of a novel written by several people should be distributed according to each person's creative contribution. If everyone was an independent author, then everyone's copyright should be protected. If any one of the works was borrowed or used by others, the person who borrowed it should enjoy the corresponding copyright protection. However, if it was a collaboration between multiple people, then everyone's contribution in the collaboration needed to be considered. For example, if any one of them provided an important idea or plot, that person might be granted more copyright protection. The specific distribution method could be negotiated and determined, or it could be distributed according to the law. In China, according to the provisions of the " copyright law," the copyright of a work created by multiple co-authors shall be shared by the co-authors, but when exercising the copyright, the rights shall be distributed reasonably according to actual needs. Therefore, in the case of multiple people working together to write a novel, they should negotiate and determine everyone's rights and obligations to avoid unnecessary disputes.

Suffocated as usual, she saw the alpha of the next-door race come into her life and bring light into her life. Is he her savior? With so many things unclear, one thing she did know was that her life would be turned upside down when he called her "" mate. "" Rejected she-wolf gets another alpha mate? Is it a blessing or a curse?"Since marrying Tristan Flynn three years ago, Esther White had been a dutiful wife both in bed and in life. She bore the naïve thought that she could melt Tristan's heart with her tenderness. Later on, she realized that even melting glaciers was easier than moving Tristan. During the three-year marriage, Tristan believed that he could use two words to describe his wife Esther, dull and unimpressive. Nevertheless, she dared to humiliate him in public by throwing him the divorce papers on the anniversary of the Flynn Group. He stared at Esther, who looked composed and elegant in a red dress, and narrowed his eyes. Everyone thought that Tristan and Esther wouldn't have any contact after divorce, and even Esther was no exception. Later, Tristan was to present the best screenplay award to Esther at an award ceremony. After handing Esther the trophy, the graceful, icy Tristan suddenly begged submissively in front of the crowd, "Esther, it is my fault to fail to cherish you in the past. Can you give me a second chance to win your affections?" Esther looked at Tristan with a bright, aloof smile. "Sorry, Mr. Flynn. My career is the only thing I care about at the moment." Tristan pulled Esther's hand, his eyes filling with melancholy. "Esther, I can't live without you." Esther turned around coldly and thought, "Are you kidding? Why would I date a man instead of focusing on my career? Plus, you are my ex-husband."

The ownership and protection of copyrights were clearly defined by law. In the case of multiple co-creators, the copyright is usually shared by the original creator. However, if it can be proved that everyone has the ability and willingness to create independently, the copyright can be distributed to everyone. For example, if A, B, and C created a novel together and could prove that each of them had the ability and willingness to create independently, the copyright could be distributed to A, B, and C. However, if only A and B co-wrote the novel and could prove that A had a unique creative will and ability for the novel, then the copyright could be assigned to A alone. In the case of multiple co-creators, if one wanted to obtain the copyright, one had to prove that each person had the ability and willingness to create independently and that the novel was co-created. If you can't prove this, you might not be able to get the copyright.

I wrote a few books and found that the titles were similar to other people's web novels. Is this considered copyright violation?

1 answer
2024-09-04 07:21

If the title of your book is the same as someone else's web novel, it usually means that you have violated the intellectual property rights of others. In this case, you may need to stop creating and pay the copyright fee or pay the copyright owner the copyright fee and take other measures to avoid copyright violation. In particular, if the name of your book appears before the same or similar name of someone else's online novel, it may constitute an act of copyright violation. This is because you have used someone else's idea or name without authorization, or have used someone else's copyright without authorization. In order to avoid any copyright violation, you can consider the following measures: 1. Avoiding the same or similar names: Try to avoid using names that are the same or similar to existing novels. 2. Use your own name: You can use your own name during the creation process instead of using the same or similar name as someone else's novel. 3. Respect the intellectual property rights of others: In the creative process, you need to respect the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights and creativity. If you use someone else's copyrights or name, you will need to get the other party's explicit permission or pay a copyright fee. In short, if you find that you have committed an act of copyright violation, you are advised to stop creating and pay the copyright fee immediately or pay the copyright owner the copyright fee and take other measures to avoid the act of copyright violation.
