Chapter 600

Shen Xin stood up and went downstairs quickly, Gao Hang and others also surrounded her.

"How about it?"

"It's a comic website with a D version, and a lot of comics are posted on it. Speaking of which, it's a bit unexpected."

"Um?"

"On the website, Duoman.com has the most comics."

Wang Wenhong knew that it was not kind to do so, but when he saw Duomanwang's comics appearing on such a website, he still couldn't help chuckling.

"ComicFuture" and Duoman.com are in a competitive relationship, and they have competed for a whole year.

Duoman.com puts more pressure on ComicFuture than other magazines.

Under such circumstances, seeing his opponent suffer this kind of loss, Wang Wenhong was already very embarrassed to gloat about his misfortune.

In fact, in the face of the current situation, it is difficult for him to gloat, because on this website, whether it is the click list, favorite list, or recommendation list, the first place is "Smelting Steel".

Seeing that "Steel Refining" was ranked first, Shen Xin really couldn't laugh, and could only sigh helplessly.

"However, there is good news." Wang Wenhong looked back at Shen Xin who was standing beside him.

"Um?"

There is good news about this kind of thing.

"The content of "Steel Refining" is incomplete, only the last 50 episodes for the time being."

The muscles on Shen Xin's face twitched a bit when he heard the news, but he was really not happy at all.

Even with only the last 50 episodes, "Steel Refining" still ranks first in the rankings of the D version website, Shen Xin did not expect that.

As for the content of the latest 50 episodes published on the website, it actually hurt him and "Steel Refining" quite a bit, because volume 18 has not been released yet.

If it doesn't affect sales, ghosts will believe it. He would rather the website post the first 50 episodes.

"Other comics, "Ding Shi" has all of them, "King of Rock and Roll" has 30 chapters,

"Hunting Abyss" 40 chapters... basically all comics with a length of less than 50 chapters, and other magazines are the same. However, the comics that have been serialized are not complete. There is no "Soul of Chess", and "The Legend of the Dragon King" is only a part. In comparison, Duomanwang's comics are quite complete. "Wang Wenhong explained.

"Why? Is "Steel Refining" not as good as those manga comics?" Gao Hang behind him read it for a long time, and after roughly understanding the reason, he said unconvinced.

"Are you stupid? Is this a good thing? If everything is posted on the Internet, "Smelting Steel" will not be sold." Liu Rui gave Gao Hang a hard look.

"Don't say it, I've already figured it out." Gao Hang waved his hand quickly.

"The difficulty is different. Duoman.com has a lot of comics, that's because they can pick up pictures. As for the comics of "ComicFuture", they either have the source of the pictures, or they buy the scans of the comics themselves. The sales of volume 18 will definitely be affected...it is estimated that the sales of volumes after volume 14 will not be able to sell." Shen Xin frowned, feeling bad.

The pictures are all posted, so it's no wonder they sell well.

Seeing this scene, Xi Muhan also had a sad face.

This kind of thing is not comfortable for anyone.

In particular, the first edition of the 18th volume of "Steel Refining" has 2.3 million copies. It is hard to say whether it will be printed or not, but the list must have been ordered.

If "Smelting Steel" does not sell, or if it only sells less than 500,000 copies, then the loss will be really big.

"Sister Yan, what's going on with you?" Shen Xin turned her head and asked Yan Fei

"My side is a bit better. It's the D-version website in District 11. However, "ComicFuture" comics are mostly. Duoman.com also has them, but except for a few popular comics, they are translated into Japanese, and the rest are in Chinese. Yes Yes, there is also a Japanese translation of "Dance Maiden."

Yan Fei stared at the screen, tapping the keyboard with her fingers.

"Why are you still typing on the keyboard?" Wang Wenhong asked puzzled.

"Chat with Teacher Yuchuan and ask him if he knows anything about the D-version website."

"What did he say?" Shen Xin asked.

"He said that he knew that this website was only recently established. According to him, this website was originally just a forum, and some D-version Huaxia comics were circulated privately, but later, resources increased, and there were comic websites. , the income was good, so they raised a sum of money, and they already had membership funds, so they built a server and built such a website."

"..."

Shen Xin rolled her eyes, it seems that there is no pure land anywhere.

"Won't "Young Leap" tell them?" Wang Wenhong asked suspiciously.

"Don't sue, because their website is full of Huaxia's comics, and if the copyright owner doesn't file a lawsuit to make them stop the infringement, it's useless for others to object." Yan Fei explained, "Moreover, this website doesn't "Smelting Steel" and "Young Leap" can't help it, and I don't bother to negotiate with them."

"That's not the worst part..." Shen Xin laughed dryly, "Because of the 'safe haven principle', even if comics are stolen from these websites, they will not be punished immediately."

"'Safe Harbor Principle'?" Xi Muhan heard this kind of thing for the first time, and Yan Fei only heard about it, and didn't understand it deeply.

"The 'safe harbor principle' means that if the network service provider only provides space for storage but does not produce content, after they are accused of infringement, they have the obligation to delete. But if the network service provider does not store on the server, but does not inform which If the content is infringing, then they are not liable for the infringement. In other words, we can only notify them first, and then ask them to delete the content to solve this matter.” Wang Wenhong explained.

"How could it be like this?" Xi Muhan looked frustrated and clasped his little hands tightly, "Then what should we do?"

"Let's go step by step. Even the 'safe harbor principle' has a premise, and Internet service providers have to be unaware of it beforehand. Therefore, for these websites, the 'safe harbor principle' is not a 'sword of wisdom'... What next? Do it, just look at the magazines and Duomanwang. Remember what I said just now? The D version can't kill us, but we can't put an end to the D version. Now, it's just that the situation has become more serious..." Shen Xin was powerless road.

When this kind of thing happens, the author is often very powerless. Even if they take the infringer to court, let alone the "safe haven" principle, even if everything goes well, it will be months or even a year after the result comes out. up.

Even if it was Shen Xin, he didn't have the energy to take care of these things.

"It's not difficult to find this website. The website in the 11th district, I don't rule out posting "Steel Refining" in the future, Yan Fei, wait for you and "Youth Leap", let them pay attention to this website... I Guess, "ComicFuture" should have noticed this website. Teacher Shen, recently, your workload has been heavy, and you have to set aside a day for book signing, so if you really can't stick to it , let me tell you in advance, I will ask the magazine for your leave."

Yan Fei also nodded. Although the closure of the magazine has a great impact on the magazine, the body of the cartoonist is obviously more important.

Shen Xin rolled her eyes, "It's not like you don't know what state I am in? If you really want to help me, you should deal with this matter as soon as possible. If you keep this kind of thing in your heart, you will definitely not feel comfortable."

Xi Muhan also nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, the magazine is more urgent than you... 2.3 million copies, this is really a big deal." Wang Wenhong comforted.
