Bab 1: Deleting this book from this site (and why)
Long story short, one of my author friends requested that webnovel remove their novel from the site, and webnovel refused.
So, I'm pulling all of my books from the site. Anyway, back to them refusing to remove the novel from the site even when the author/copyright requested it.
This is basically a DMCA or Digital Millennium Copyright Act violation. The copyright owner (the author) request that THEIR work, which THEY OWN, be removed from the site.
The electronic publisher/distributor in this case, is OBLIGATED to remove the work from the site upon request from the copyright holder- which Webnovel has refused to do. This should mean that they are now liable for copyright infringement (DMCA provides online service providers protection from copyright infringement liability as long as they block/delete content as requested by the copyright owner), and we authors are able to sue the living shit out of webnovel for copyright infringement if they continue to refuse to delete our works from the site upon formal request.
But they're fine with that, cause what can some ragtag authors do against a multi-million dollar company backs by a multi-billion dollar company? In fact, that's probably their mindset with most things.
Well, there's one answer - do this to enough of us authors, and we can unite to open a class suit against you guys. There's plenty of shit buried in your closet. For one, remember that contest you guys ran in the latter half of 2017? The Beyond The Language contest? Yeah, how much money was promised in that contest? How much was paid out?
Oh, then let's get to the fun stuff I've heard from contracted authors. Being paid late, being paid not at all, you promising to change terms in the contract just to reinsert them in other places, "forgetting" to change parts of the contract that were requested and agreed upon...
Cut the bullshit, webnovel. One day it'll catch up with you guys.
