Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

"Whether it's plagiarism or not, I think it looks good, that's all that matters. Besides, there's no definitive conclusion yet to prove that it was plagiarism; it could very well just be a coincidence."

"That's not what you said before. What's this called? Double standards? This is double standards, isn't it?"

"I'm so angry I almost laughed. No matter what you say, you'll always have a reason to say it, right?"

"What else do you want? Are you determined to keep harping on this? Besides, Xia Yuan's book has only just published its first volume. Even if there's a first draft, it's hard to say what the quality of the later parts will be like. Don't be too happy yet."

Anyway, for Yu Si's fans, they have now activated their second passive skill, which is to refuse to admit it.

The situation remained deadlocked.

The reality is frustrating; it's incredibly difficult to define the scope of copyright and intellectual property disputes reasonably.

Because in Hanxia, ​​plagiarism is extremely difficult to identify and distinguish. Moreover, Hanxia's protection of intellectual property rights still has significant loopholes and a long way to go.

This can be seen from the fact that things have remained peaceful at Yu Temple to this day.

Because protecting one's rights is difficult—that's the stark reality.

Some of the regulations in Hanxia were formulated relatively early and have not been fully adapted to the rapidly developing economic landscape.

In particular, the definition of new types of property rights, such as data property rights and artistic works property rights, is unclear in the context of the digital economy and new forms of intellectual property rights.

Many provisions are sometimes ambiguous, which makes practice difficult.

Then there is the issue of the burden of proof and its difficulty. In property disputes, especially intellectual property infringement, rights defenders often face the problem of "difficulty in providing evidence."

Obtaining sufficient and valid evidence of infringement is costly, difficult, and requires a high level of expertise.

In addition, the cost of infringement is particularly low, resulting in high costs for rights protection and a relatively long process. The stipulated compensation for infringement is sometimes too low to make up for the actual losses of the rights holder, including the cost of rights protection and loss of goodwill, and may even be lower than the profits of the infringer, making "copying profitable".

However, rights defenders need to invest a lot of time, money and energy in their efforts to protect their rights, including litigation fees, lawyer fees, appraisal fees, investigation fees, etc., and the outcome is uncertain, resulting in the phenomenon of "winning the case but losing money", which greatly discourages the enthusiasm for protecting rights.

For most people, being plagiarized or having their rights infringed upon makes them unwilling to spend years, countless hours, and money to pursue a solution.

This is why so many intellectual property rights have been infringed upon in Hanxia.

These people are so arrogant that they even dare to register someone else's real name as a trademark and then demand compensation from the person with that name.

Otherwise, that person would not even be able to use their own name anymore.

Or, as everyone knows, the Double Bridges incident in the sports world, which was only finalized a few years ago, determining that Hanxia's brand was infringing and that brand was ordered to change its name.

But has justice finally arrived? On the surface, it may seem so, though it is a little late.

But looking back? Before that matter reached its final conclusion, it had been dragging on for over twenty years, and Hanxia's brand had amassed billions of dollars by relying on that name, already making a fortune.

What's the point of asking for a name change at this point, even if it's done?
Is justice delayed still justice?
Although Hanxia has been working to improve the relevant provisions on property rights protection for many years, the results have been minimal and there is still a long way to go.

Therefore, there really isn't a good way to define this matter.

Not to mention, neither of the two parties involved in this matter has actually spoken out.

Regardless of who copied whom, to truly determine right and wrong, the parties involved actually need to get involved. Since none of the parties have intervened, it's currently just a dispute between fans.

Aside from his die-hard fans, Yu Si's reputation in the public eye has never been very good. In the public's eyes, Yu Si has always been a habitual plagiarist.

His fans are indeed highly combative, and they are all top-tier (T0) players.

The power of these top-tier players is undeniable.

Soon, after the two sides argued for a while and found that there was no conclusion and no resolution, the heat of the matter began to dissipate.

Soon, Xia Yuan's "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" also went on sale at Hanxia Bookstore, and the translation was already available.

Given the buzz surrounding the previous event, the release of this new book also triggered a buying frenzy, generating immense interest.

Six million units were sold in just one day!

This is already a terrifying achievement.

Major social media platforms and media outlets, including independent media, are vying to report on this matter.

It can be said that on this day, Xia Yuan was everywhere, and he could be seen everywhere. He had already occupied the front page of major platforms.

However, Yu Si's fans were not to be outdone, and they really showed just how terrifying the spending power of girls can be.

After seeing Xia Yuan's new book sell well, and Xia Yuan's fans taking advantage of the success to ridicule and criticize them, they couldn't take it anymore.

So Yu Si's fans started looking for a solution, and they actually found one: boosting sales!
The big fans directly spent huge sums of money to buy them in bulk.

As for smaller fans with limited resources, they buy as much as they can afford on their own.

Some fans even paid half a year's salary for it.

Yu Si's books are already priced high; even the regular version can buy three of Xia Yuan's books for the price of one of his books.

Therefore, in terms of income ranking, Yu Si is actually slightly higher than Xia Yuan, even though his sales figures are not as good as Xia Yuan's.

Of course, it is also a very close gap, and it looks like it could be overtaken at any moment.

This also made Yu Si's fans very excited. They searched for Xia Yuan's fans on various platforms and then frantically showed off their data.

They just wanted to show Xia Yuan's fans what happens when you offend them.

Yu Si's fans were overjoyed.

"This is our victory. No matter how arrogant they are, we still trample them under our feet."

"This is nothing more than jealousy towards Xiaosi. Xiaosi may be magnanimous, but we Si girls will never compromise! We will not allow Xiaosi to suffer such injustice and unfair treatment!"

At this point, neither party made a statement; instead, they announced new changes.

That is, both parties will release their film plans simultaneously at the same time!
Two novels have simultaneously announced film and television adaptations! (End of Chapter)
