What does it feel like? It’s like when you are hungry and want to eat, a table of delicious food is placed in front of you!
I originally just wanted to ask Brother Zhou and Lawyer Fang how to protect my rights in this kind of situation, but unexpectedly, Brother Zhou directly pushed Lawyer Fang over!
It still has to be you, Brother Zhou!
Hurry up and send it through the friend list. This is Fang Dazhuang’s friend list. Miss Xu is now sending messages with a kind of pilgrimage mentality.
"Hello, Mr. Fang, I'm Brother Zhou's neighbor..."
No, you can't say that. It seems too materialistic. This is how you should greet someone.
After editing several greetings and deleting them again, Miss Xu now looks very much like those men who just added her as their goddess.
As a result, before I could say hello, I saw a voice window pop up on the other side.
Miss Xu was stunned for a moment. Is it so direct? But I haven't...
The man who meets his goddess tries his best to greet her properly, but the goddess just asks him directly if the room is ready. That's probably how it feels.
I quickly connected the call and heard the deep voice of Mr. Fang.
"Xiao Xu, right? I'm a little busy right now, so let's cut to the chase. What problem are you having?"
"Oh, oh, Mr. Fang, it's like this, I'm an online novel writer..."
Miss Xu tried to briefly describe the problems she had encountered before and what she should do in the face of so many copycats.
It would be a lie to say that such a situation does not affect one's mentality.
Fang Dazhuang didn't ask any questions from beginning to end. He listened until the end and then said, "I see. It's about plagiarism. You want to know if it's plagiarism?"
"Right, Mr. Fang. I don't know how plagiarism is defined. They all say it's just a high imitation, not plagiarism. I'm also..."
"It's really hard to define plagiarism, but before we begin, I want to ask you a question: What are your plans for this matter?"
"Should we just make a small effort or fight to the end? I need to remind you that doing so will likely lead to a consequence: your cost will far outweigh the gains from defending your rights."
No matter what type of rights protection, cost is the core issue!
It's not just money, but also the precious time cost and the energy you spend on this matter.
Miss Xu was silent for a moment. She was also a viewer who was used to watching Zhou Yi's videos, so she naturally knew what Fang Dazhuang meant by "do it".
We will do it to the end. As long as we think it is plagiarism, we will sue it. That’s it!
But she is not Zhou Yi, she is just a novelist. Putting aside other things, just this expense alone is a bit unbearable.
After a moment of silence, Miss Xu spoke up, "Mr. Fang, I'd better just sue that one person. It's okay to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."
Attorney Fang on the other end of the line didn't seem surprised at all: "Of course that's no problem, but I can't take this case. You can find another lawyer."
"Another lawyer?"
"Yes, Jingzhou is so big, there is no shortage of lawyers who can handle intellectual property cases. I'll give you a number and you can go directly to him. His level is pretty good for Jingzhou."
Miss Xu quickly wrote down the phone number Mr. Fang gave her, and chatted with him for a few more words before Mr. Fang hung up.
Looking at the series of phone calls, Miss Xu began to hesitate again, wondering whether she should file this lawsuit.
To be honest, although Zhou Yi seems to be able to fight a lawsuit as easily as drinking water, the behavior of Miss Xu is a normal behavior.
I won't sue unless it's absolutely necessary. This is a big deal.
Just think about the other party's arrogant face, then fight!
The night passed quickly, and the next morning, Miss Xu dialed the number.
"Hello, is this Lawyer Wu Xing? I'm Xu Lina..."
"Oh, Xiao Xu, I know, I know. Teacher Fang has already called me. Come over. I'll send you the address and we can meet and talk. I'll then tell you how to secure the evidence in advance."
Wu Xing is one of Mr. Fang's students, specializing in intellectual property. According to Mr. Fang, his level is acceptable.
Of course, Lawyer Wu is used to it, so don't expect to hear good things from Teacher Fang.
At the same time, Zhou, who was addicted to games, had received news from Fang Dazhuang. It turned out that Miss Xu was actually an online writer!
He didn't realize it. He originally thought that all online writers were otakus, the kind of dead otakus who picked their toes. He didn't expect that such a delicate girl was actually an online writer, and wrote for men.
Zhou Yi was not the author of the plagiarism case, so he didn't feel too deeply about it. He just knew that this case was not easy to handle.
For example, the author named Xiao Si was accused of plagiarism. Do you know how long the lawsuit lasted? More than two years!
From 2004 to 2006 when the final judgment came out, it took more than two years. Not to mention anything else, can the average person afford that?
The verdict was to compensate the other party 200,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan in mental damages, and to make a public apology.
But everyone, the money was compensated, but do you know when Xiao Si apologized? It was fifteen years later, and he made a public apology in 2020.
The lawsuit was won in 2006, but the other party only apologized fifteen years later. In the fifteen years before that, he joined the Writers Association, made a lot of money by making movies, and was flattered by countless stars, but he never apologized.
From the beginning of the lawsuit to the other party's apology, it lasted for seventeen years!
Do you think it's outrageous? This is reality. Any novelist who dared to write like this would have been criticized to death long ago.
