Newspaper reporter Jane Bo work
"Seeking free", "seeking to download" ... Shanghai Book Fair opened yesterday, the reporter interviewed found that some people look at some popular books rather than buy, they said wait and then will have "hands to fight the party" to share these books online for free.
The so-called "Hand Party", those who purchase the book word for word the contents of the book will be published on the Web to break out of the users. "Hand the party" aimed at "sharing" their behavior is an infringement of copyright? In response, some people think that they and non-profit, can not be considered infringing, but also expressed that while the "hand to play party" behavior looks "benefit" of users, but in fact hurt the creators of enthusiasm in the long run not a good thing.
"Now some of the more popular books, published a very short period of time in online forums where people will be free to share, many of which are the users own the content of the book word for word the contents of a share of playing down to." Reporters interviewed found that this phenomenon is widespread in recent years, especially in some of the more popular fantasy, romance type novels, often there will be soon as he listed "Hand Edition" appear. "These very exciting read novels, but collections of little value, so many people do not buy books, but to wait for free online sharing, users have the content of some books will be sent to a fight down the line."
According to reports, "Hand Party" is derived from the network to read the phenomenon. The last book publishing, the author is often first to the Press editorial into the draft, and then published in book form, but now the whole ecosystem changes, particularly a group of online writers, they opened the first post in the online serial, attracting a large number of "fans" on a regular basis reading, and then get published, then the author will stop updating. Since the majority of "fans" have been free to read the most books, not interested in buying books, but want to read the story, came into being the "Hand Party" section on the textbook will continue to follow all posted online for free read.
In addition, many writers on the Internet also has a direct contract with the site, readers are required to pay to read site, so that someone will pay for themselves after reading the contents of the copy of the free sharing. Later, some pay site discovered the problem, use a direct copy of the PDF format can not provide services, but also watermarks label, but some users of these articles to your phone or use e-readers, but also gave birth to the "Hand Party" to rely on typing "convert format."
It is reported that in the past, "Hand Party" most users personal behavior, but the reporter has also found that some people have on-line books sold at the "Photo Edition", "electronic version", the price is only a few one-tenth of the original book. Reporters saw both of these books scanned version, there are TXT format electronic document version, for the production of these "books", some people in the recruitment of part-time Web site on "Hand Party", paid at 100 per million words up and down. Reporters contacted by a public information a recruiter, he said the picture is to find someone to help format the book into a document, "We release them is to increase the traffic."
Many authors, especially online writers for "hand to play party" behavior is very offensive, even it has been told the online "Hand Party" to stop such violations, but was "hand to play the party," retorted: "Do you have something open published, I hand to play out, but also worked hard, and it's free, why ban my behavior? "some of the author and the" Hand Party "to compete, simply in the book published some time after their own open book content.
"Hand the party" behavior in the end be considered copyright infringement?
