This morning, as soon as Tiger checked his WeChat Moments, he saw an article from Nandu Digital News reprinted by Bao Jianfeng on WeChat - "Tieba is crazy about piracy of online literature, and writers cannot be regarded as works."
Bar Lord》.Α? = νλ
This is an article that denounces the harm caused by piracy to online literature. Tiger clicked on the article and read it from beginning to end. His heart was filled with sadness and he could not calm down for a long time. He always felt that something was surging in his chest.
, I want to say something to everyone.
The problem of piracy may have started from the day when texts could be uploaded to the Internet. It has attached itself to the entire literary industry like a shadow. Internet literature has been the hardest hit area by piracy. Articles that denounced Internet piracy began a few years ago.
"A letter written by Han Han to Mr. Robin Li of Baidu" Up to today's article in "Nandou Digital News", Tiger has seen a lot. I believe that except Tiger himself, the same articles or messages have been read by everyone over the years.
I've seen a lot of them.
All these articles, when talking about the harm of online piracy, generally focus on criticizing the phenomenon of online literature piracy from three aspects. The first level of criticizing online piracy is the moral level, and the second level is
From the legal system level, the third level is the economic level - mainly focusing on the huge losses caused by online literature piracy to the entire industry.
After reading these articles that denounce piracy, all readers will have an idea. As victims of online piracy, they are nothing more than writers and online writers, publishers and regular websites, as well as the entire online literature industry - and these victims,
For a novel reader, it is really too far away.
Even if what I read is pirated, so what? After all, those articles are just there for you to read without paying. In Tieba, on those pirated literature websites, pirated novels are everywhere, but I didn’t pirate them anyway.
, if you want to settle accounts, you can’t blame yourself. Even if online literature lost 10 billion due to piracy last year, what does this have to do with you?
Have you, and your friends around you, ever had such thoughts before or now?
If you really think so, you are totally wrong.
In Tiger's view, the biggest victims of pirated literature are neither writers and Internet writers, nor publishers and regular websites, but readers who read pirated literature. You read that right, the biggest victim of pirated literature is
The readers who read pirated literature are you, or the friends you know. Once those readers come into contact with pirated literature, they continue to suffer the harm caused by pirated literature. They are not aware of this, and they have never even known anyone.
I told them about the dangers of piracy.
Before writing these words, Tiger also considered whether he should write it or not. Should he talk about the harm of watching piracy alone from the perspective of a reader? Tiger was not a great man at the beginning, and his influence was limited. Why did he write this rashly?
When an article is published, will it appear to others that it is pretentious?
But after much deliberation, Tiger decided not to hold it in any longer.
I remember when I first wrote "Snow Wash", there was a sentence in "Snow Wash" - knowing is power! It was this sentence that inspired Tiger to finish writing "Snow Wash".
Now I am writing "Black Iron Castle". The whole novel "Black Iron Castle" is based on two words - cause and effect.
The word cause and effect is the connection between Tiger and everyone. It is precisely because of the word cause and effect that Tiger decided to tell everyone the real harm of reading piracy.
The biggest harm of reading piracy lies in the word "piracy" in piracy.
What is "stealing" - taking without giving is stealing.
A novel and a chapter are the result of the author's daily hard work and sweat, as well as the collaborative efforts of the website's many editors, back-end technical staff, operations and promotions, and many other people, to present each novel and each chapter.
Let readers read safely and enjoy the pleasure of reading. It can be said that every chapter of every novel is the joint result of the labor of many people, so reading is paid, and the paid money is earned or legally owned by the reader.
In essence, this is a process of buying and selling goods and exchanging the fruits of labor. This process is no different from buying things in a store.
Pirated articles destroy this process.
Internet authors sit in front of computers and work hard for seven or eight hours or even more than ten hours every day. They exchange the fruits of their labor with you for a few cents. You don't pay, you don't fulfill the commodity exchange relationship, and you do it without the author's consent.
Just enjoy the fruits of the authors' labor, which is stealing. λ Αφλ?ν
Tens of millions is a steal, a cent or two is a steal, a few cents is a steal.
Some people may feel aggrieved and say, "How can I be a pirate? If I want to pirate something, it's someone else's pirated copy. I'm just looking at it."
What does this sentence mean? It's like there are some goods in a family's yard. Those goods can usually only be bought with money. But one day, someone used a bulldozer to push down the wall of that family's yard, and the goods in that family's yard were removed.
It was exposed to broad daylight without any protection, and then the man driving the bulldozer said to the onlookers, go ahead, you can take out the things piled in the yard, it is yours, no one is in charge, you can do whatever you want.
, and no one knew. So the onlookers went into the yard and took away the things in the yard with peace of mind. Do you think this is theft?
The convenience of the spread of network technology is the bulldozer. The goods in the yard are the novels chapter by chapter, the packaged results of the joint work of the author and the website platform. Those who walk into the yard and take away the goods are
Readers who watch pirated copies.
Bodhisattvas fear causes, and sentient beings fear consequences!
All dharmas are empty, except cause and effect!
What is the cause and effect of stealing? It is poverty and hardship!
Why I say that readers who read pirated copies are the biggest victims of piracy? It’s because those readers unknowingly sowed the consequences of poverty on themselves by reading a pirated novel, leaving themselves with a legacy of karma.
Every evil seed...
The most stupid thing in the world is this.
Are the readers who read pirated copies poor and lack the few cents they can spend to read each chapter of a genuine novel?
Of course not!
Tiger believes that many readers who watch pirated copies do so more out of reading habits than being stingy or unable to spare a few cents.
Everyone reads pirated copies because they find it convenient, are used to reading on certain websites, or don’t know how to read genuine copies. Just like those book friends and readers in the "Black Iron Castle" forum, although they
What I read is a pirated version, but there are also many readers who often join together to give rewards to Hu Hu’s novels. Many people reward each time with as little as tens, as many as hundreds or hundreds. This money is enough for them to use on a daily basis.
Come read the original version.
And because of this, in this process, such a heart-wrenching scene occurred - many readers who read pirated copies did not even know that their actions were "stealing" and that they were doing themselves harm during the process of watching pirated copies.
Sowing bad karma, the few cents or dollars they save today by watching piracy may cost them hundreds of times to repay in the future.
The eighth of the Ten Commandments in the Bible is "Thou shalt not steal."
The Buddha even more vividly explained the cause and effect of "stealing" in the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", "Ten Good Karma Sutras" and other classics, telling all living beings that stealing will not bring wealth and convenience to oneself, but will bring
Poverty and hardship.
Among all the sects in the world, all wise men regard theft as an extremely serious crime, and this is by no means without reason.
Anyone who does not believe in this cause and effect can observe the life trajectories of those around them who have had a history of theft and see whether they live poor or rich.
There are such people around Tiger, and without exception, they all live very poor lives. Even if these people no longer steal, their lives, especially in this country, have been ruined because of the crimes they committed in the past.
In terms of financial fortune, they are all very unhappy and full of ups and downs. Everyone is doing very hard work, but the pay is very low, and it is difficult to get recognition from others.
——Tiger, you are talking nonsense. I have a friend who often reads pirated novels. He has been reading them for several years, but a few days ago he won 5,000 yuan in lottery tickets!
——Yes, I also watch pirated movies, but my current job is not bad...
Maybe some readers will ask Tiger this, but what Tiger wants to tell these readers is that if that person didn’t read pirated copies, maybe he would have won more than a few thousand dollars in the lottery. If that person didn’t read pirated copies, maybe he would have more money now.
Good job.
Watching pirated copies is like taking poison. You read a few chapters of pirated copies every day and steal a few cents a day. In the short term, it doesn’t seem to have any impact on your life or wealth. That’s because you’ve taken the amount of poison in your stomach.
It's still very low. Even if it has an impact, you can't feel it and think everything is normal. But once you accumulate it over time, from a few cents to hundreds or thousands, look at the harm and poverty caused by piracy.
If you have severe retribution, there will definitely be a release process from quantitative change to qualitative change, which will appear in your life and career, allowing you to pay it back hundreds of times, and no one will be an exception.
——I really have no money now. My monthly money is only enough for my own living, but I also like to read novels. So the cost of reading each chapter of the novel is a huge burden for me. What should I do?
If this is the case for some readers, Tiger’s advice is, if you are still a student, then put down your novels, study hard, and hone your skills. If you don’t have a job, then quickly find a job and face your own problems.
You can treat novels as your best, but never use novels as a tool to escape from the world, let alone indulge in the world of novels and ignore real problems. In any case, don’t read pirated copies anymore, and don’t destroy your own
Luck in wealth puts yourself in a vicious cycle.
In novels, one of the plots that everyone can see is that the wise old man with a white beard or the protagonist of the novel realizes the power of the law at some point and makes himself very awesome.
In fact, in reality, such wisdom exists. All wisdom is current, fresh, and closely related to our lives. Everyone can master and use it. Do not look at piracy, and stay away from all crimes of theft.
It is the wisdom and rules closest to each of our readers.
Rich people are creating wealth, and poor people are creating poverty. What you create is what you are. When each of us achieves others, we are also achieving ourselves.
Why Tiger wrote this article is because Tiger hopes that all readers who read this can have a happy and wealthy life.
Tiger also hopes that the tens of thousands of Internet writers across China who are still typing every day like Tiger, those who use keyboards to create their own world, will have a better and broader world in the future.
Finally, Tiger shared with everyone a sentence he had seen before - being on the right path is the most auspicious!
Right path, right knowledge, right conduct, right view, genuine version, and positive energy. If a person has these in his life, how can he not be happy, sunny, and rich?
