If an author was detained, could the author still enjoy the copyright?

Journey to the West was a long novel written by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Chengen, which had a history of hundreds of years. Wu Chengen's descendants may enjoy the property rights of the copyright of Journey to the West because they shared the copyright with Wu Chengen. However, the specific situation needed to be analyzed in detail. At present, there were no relevant laws and regulations to determine whether they enjoyed the property rights in the copyright.

After signing an exclusive copyright contract with the webcomic platform, the copyright still belonged to the author. According to the law, copyright refers to the rights that the author has to his work, including copying, distribution, rental, exhibition, performance, screening, broadcasting, information network transmission, etc. When an author signs an exclusive license contract with a webcomic platform, the platform obtains the right to publish and spread the work on the platform. However, the author still has the copyright of the work, including the original expression of the work's name, author, plot, characters, etc. Therefore, even if the platform uploaded the work to the Internet, the author still had the right to modify the work, license others to use it, and obtain economic benefits. It should be noted that the exclusive license contract may involve some intellectual property terms, such as the scope of authorization, usage methods, profit distribution, etc. If you are not satisfied with these terms, you can seek legal advice.

After signing the contract with Xiaoxiang Academy, the copyright would still belong to the author, but Xiaoxiang Academy would enjoy some of the rights. As a literary publishing house, Xiaoxiang Academy had the right to edit, adapt, and publish works, but it did not mean that the copyright would be transferred to Xiaoxiang Academy. The author's copyright could still be modified, published, and protected at any time during the term of protection. On the Xiaoxiang Academy platform, authors could express their literary creativity and inspiration through uploading, publishing, and commenting. At the same time, they could also obtain more literary rights through signing contracts.

The copyright usually referred to the copyright protection that the author enjoyed for his work, but it did not necessarily belong to the author. In most countries, copyright usually belongs to the author or his authorized agent, unless the work was jointly created by many people and had a common idea at the time of creation or the author himself did not explicitly grant permission to others to use the work. For example, in the United States, copyright belongs to the author unless the author has previously sold or granted the copyright to others. Similar situations might exist in other countries. Therefore, whether or not the copyright was owned depended on the specific circumstances of the work.

The copyright usually belongs to the author, but in some cases, it may be assigned to the creator, editor, or translator of the work. For example, in the process of creating a literary work, the author usually owned the copyright of the work. However, if the copyright of the work has been granted to a third party such as a publishing house, an editor, or a translator, the author's copyright will be transferred. In addition, in some cases, authors may sell or grant their copyrights to third parties in exchange for other benefits. For example, the author might sell the copyright to a novel adaptation company to receive the profits from adapting and publishing the novel. Therefore, understanding the specific ownership of the author's copyright while reading the novel could help you better understand the plot and the author's creative intentions.

If the novel violated someone else's copyright, the author or the publishing company could be held responsible. Under normal circumstances, the scope of copyright protection included the source of inspiration, conception, creativity, design, drawing, writing, and other processes when creating a work, not the final text content. Therefore, if the author or the author of the novel violates the copyright of others during this period, they may be responsible. For example, if an author used someone else's existing ideas, ideas, character settings, etc. in the process of creating a novel without the original author's permission, then the author would have violated the original author's copyright. Similarly, if a publishing firm violated someone else's copyright in the process of editing or proofreading, they could also be held responsible. Therefore, if the novel violates the copyright of others, you should first seek the permission of the original author. If you don't get permission, you have to bear the corresponding legal responsibility.

Whether the copyright belonged to the corresponding author, the first author, or the co-author needed to be analyzed in detail. Under normal circumstances, if there was a cooperative relationship between the corresponding author and the first author, the copyright would be shared by both parties. For example, if the corresponding author and the first author were both authors and they completed the writing and editing of the novel together, the copyright of the novel would belong to both parties. However, if there was no cooperative relationship between the corresponding author and the first author, or if the corresponding author was only responsible for the publication and publicity of the article and the first author was the real author, then the copyright of the novel would belong to the first author alone. In addition, there were some special circumstances, such as the corresponding author and the first author were the same person, or the corresponding author was just the acting author. Then the copyright of the novel belonged to the corresponding author alone. In short, the specific copyright ownership situation needed to be analyzed according to the specific situation.

An author's continuation of another author's plot did not necessarily violate copyright. It depended on whether the content of the continuation was related to the original work, and the method and extent of the continuation. If the content of the continuation is directly related to the original work, such as the plot, characters, theme, etc., then the continuation may be regarded as the inheritance and development of the original work, thus violating the copyright of the original work. In this case, the author needed to obtain the authorization of the copyright owner of the original work before he could continue writing. If the continuation works only supplemented or adapted part of the plot or characters of the original work and did not involve the core content of the original work, then the continuation works might not violate copyright. In addition, the way and degree of creation of the continuation would also affect whether or not the copyright was violated. For example, an author could incorporate his own creativity and ideas into the continuation of the work instead of completely imitating the style and plot of the original work. This could also avoid copyright infringement. Therefore, if one wanted to continue another author's work, it was best to understand the copyright of the original work and avoid copyright violation as much as possible.
