NeverBeenSeen It is industry practice to only take down with DMCA because there is no way to verify who the copyright owner is. By issuing a DMCA, you are legally binding yourself and if you are lying, it's perjury.

In a DMCA request, there is a statement they have to say that the information is accurate to their knowledge under penalty of perjury.

And you say that the company is bringing legal trouble to itself, the first cause of action IS the DMCA.

      I agree with the DMCA method.

      While a plagirism detecting bot might sound ideal, it has a flaw. What if you write on other sites? Many authors post their novels on competing sites before or after coming here.

      Note: I'm not a lawyer and you should not take the below information as legal advice.
      As for books with the same title, most book titles are in fact NOT copyrighted. It's rare for book titles to have copyrights due to them being short and using common words. Ever read Daedalus? One of the top originals. There's literally over a dozen books on Amazon with the same title or part of he title. Usually only rare exceptions copyright book titles for popular titles. Such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. It's an expensive process, but worth it for books like those.

        NeverBeenSeen Warlock Magus World got out from paraphrasing The Wizard World. So you definitely 9verestimate a CN publishing bottomline.

            CKtalon Really then how do you explain letting someone post MGA under original novels? After all the issues webnovel has had with WW you know damn well that is being translated over there but even after reporting it it is still up.

                NeverBeenSeen Unfortunatly with this shady ass company all we can do is report it when its seen and inform the original author/translator eventually someone will take legal action against them in a court outside of China where their money won't buy them the ruling they want.

                    CKtalon then you have
                    https://www.webnovel.com/book/12053687305842305/God-And-Devil-World-%5BBeginning-Chapter%5D
                    when in the discription he admits to copying it over from another site sense you didn't have the beginning chapters
                    as well as
                    https://www.webnovel.com/book/11342040605344205/High-School-DxD-(Raw)
                    which is copied straight from baka-tsuki and again in the discription it states he copied it from else where. I have sent reports on all these and nothing. While I get that you require DMCA's for original novels the community is small enough that for translated works as a translator you should know most of the original translators how would you feel if someone took your hard work and posted it elsewhere as an "Original" novel?

                        The way to make this not happen continuously is to make a section like "What's next", but with the exception that all the chapters that the author publishes can be seen and analyzed by the reader or administrator of the page. So in that way you can avoid so many problems of copyright or plagiarism and also avoid having so many unfinished novels.

                        and you can also vote if you like the novel....

                        All those novel you post are fanfic. That is why i dont read it

                              Poche They receive too many a day that it's hard to check through them one by one.

                              The three you posted will be removed in the next few hours.

                                    I report everyone I come across and include a link to the original translation site as well as the translators name unfortunately contacting each and every translator is impossible sense some have quit translating and others just don't have a contact link on their page.

                                      While it may seem I am bugging about this it is quite clear that the report option is not viable. I know for a fact this last one has been reported multiple time by multiple people and it is still up. I get that you guys get an uncountable number of reports everyday but if you know there is no way to screen every single one then it is time to come up with another option for how to handle the issue. Honestly I would suggest a forum discussion dedicated to reporting plagiarism with a admin dedicated to just handling that.

                                        Those people will always make an excuse like "it's for inspiration" or "it's only for reading purpose"

                                        My work has been plagiarized and I sent out a DMCA request days ago but no response from Webnovel. At least an email saying they are working on it would be good. Webnovel is not doing enough.
