I wrote a book. What are the advantages and disadvantages for the author if the publishing house buys out the copyright or not?
The main influence of buying or not is reflected in four aspects:

1. Reprinting and overprinting: When a work is bought out for reprinting or overprinting, the publishing house does not need to pay the author. If the publishing house does not buy out a work for reprinting or overprinting, it needs to negotiate with the author separately and pay royalties;

2. The publishing house is willing to pay the author more buyout fees, so buyout depends on the author's own confidence in the work. From the point of view of the author's more profit, it is suggested that the good works that can be sold should not be bought out, and the works with average quality should be bought out.

3. Buy-out of copyright refers to the complete transfer of copyright property rights, and not buying out copyright is an exclusive license of copyright from the perspective of copyright;

After the copyright and property rights are completely transferred, you only have the right to sign the book, and all the profits generated by this book have nothing to do with you. Compared with complete transfer, exclusive license is more operable, but for the transferee, he would rather spend a little more money to buy out all your copyrights, so that later adaptation and online publishing don't need your authorization.
