    WEBNOVEL Found another copy right infringement in an original book called The Legend of Dragon Ball it copying another translator work

    I don't know if I should continue telling the guy to put in proper credits to where it's due, or to simply report him lol

    As a reader, I'd like to know if it was truly your original work. If the first sentence I googled got me somewhere else, not webnovel or qidian, then you got major problems.

    This is not necessarily true, I have about 40 written chapters, but because of factors such as: Lack of trust, I am not a native English speaker I have to translate and revise my chapters (and even then they are full of mistakes), I'm also always trying to improve the story, when I think it's good enough I'll start publishing here.
    But that everything happens well, I think it is necessary to have extra chapters, once there is an unforeseen and I can not write, are traveling or have a creative block. It's also a way to reward readers at times by releasing extra chapters.
    I hope to be able to offer (future) readers of my novel at least one chapter a day, if possible maybe 10 a week. So I'm going to write something consistent first and leave several chapters in stock.
    Maybe it goes wrong and I need to change the plot a bit according to the taste of my (future) public.

    JaeRawrs Well, that doesn't have to mean the work is stolen, though. I, for example, also post my stories on wattpad and I've seen a few other authors there who also post on both sites. So, unfortunately, as a reader, you can never be sure if something is stolen or not

    And in that case I'd just report the guy. Though, webnovel can only take the story down if the original author files a DMCA claim against it

    tbh isnt it funny that webnovel is talking about stealing content considering they copy pasted wuxiaworld chapters that other people translated?

    derangedlol Technically both Qidian and wuxiaworld have some sort of agreements, disclosed or not, I wouldn't call it "stealing" exactly....

    Now, take this into picture... Some guy who is not related to any of the parties involved (qidian, wuxiaworld, author, translators, etc) decided to post it here or somewhere, without credits or permission (or anything required) is just plain wrong...

    The audacity of this post. Am I the only one who remembers how qidian stole all of wuxiaworlds novels?

    Daoist_N Don't they have a contract and there is a grey area in the wording of the contract for those which is under review right now with a court, an undecided up to this point?
    If it is still under review, then you can't really say that it is stealing when there is no verdict yet.
    No matter what you may think, we don't know about the contract. If a grey area, subject to multiple interpretations exist, then there is something that needs to be discussed about it. But to claim it is automatically stealing is not correct. Let the courts decide before you make judgement, because it is a signed agreement between both parties.

    SweetsTomato I don't understand what they're saying about karma. It's not like people are stealing back from webnovel to get even. The one who got stolen from are authors from other site. Webnovel being cooperative to the authors who are the real victims is expected, but why are they making it sound like webnovel is in the wrong?

    Czernobog no I think they will cause it will be money out of there pocket too, if people read them on other sites instead of paying for the premium here. It's more likely that they care about that (the money they loose) than they cafe about the authors original hard work being taken.

    WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL This is one of the reasons why I like this app. Before, web novels were so scattered and platforms were so shoddy that It was impossible to treat any issue as legitimate. Even if you noticed something shady, there was no tangible authority to report to or any real sense of damage. The rules are now more defined. Hopefully us avid readers taking these issues seriously will give content creators and translators enough security to keep up the great work.

    @WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL There should be a feature like "Turnitin" when uploading original works. This automatically calculates the percentage of plagiarism compared to all other works that have been uploaded and will let the author/ Webnovel know if a work has too much plagiarism. I think if it is over a certain percentage then the work should be immediately rejected or be unable to be uploaded, that would significantly reduce these instances of plagiarism and intellectual property theft.
    Of course, I'm not sure how effective it would be when comparing works from Webnovel to other sites, but it would be a good start.

      WEBNOVEL_OFFICIAL Hello, how about you answer our question? What is this new policy ? Free Chapter have been removed? Or it is suspended? Or can you ask your departement? ASAP. Your officials wasting my money for nothing. Expensive chapters but the money are not regulating cleanly.

      PurpleFate The idea is good but a lot of original authors upload their novels to other sites, too. Those people would get a 100% with that approach. They would need people manually checking that then

      After all the works that quidian stole from sites like wuxiaworld they can stick their report where the sun don't Shine.

        I agree, we owed to the author that much that we should inform him/her of something like that happens. This is to show our support to the author of their hard works.

        BlackStarDeceiver nothing against you, but some of the work here is even licensed by Amazon. WN/QI is releasing it here for free after they stole the translations from sites like WW (i just say Coiling Dragon where they even put Copyright Webnovel in it)
