At the end of 20 14, when Mr. Shen Hai's online literature debut "The Mermaid of Desarro" was serialized, some readers expressed their wish to collect the paper version of this novel. Publishing paper books is also Mr. Deep Sea's long-cherished wish.
In order to realize his dream and respond to the needs of readers, Tang began to publish paper books. After trying to contact the legal channels failed, she turned her attention to Taobao shops "XMOON", "Geng Lubu Studio" and "Memory Shop Studio". These Taobao shops not only provide agent printing services, but also can carry out pre-sale and delivery.
From 20 15 to 20 17, Tang adopted the mode of pre-sale before printing, and handed over his five works to these shops for sale. These books cost more than 90 yuan, but cost more 135 yuan. "XMOON" and "Geng Lubu Studio" charge 6%~8% of the sales as agency fees, and "Memory Store Studio" charges 10% of the net profit as agency fees, and the rest of the profits are owned by Tang.
Through investigation and evidence collection in Hangzhou Alipay (China) Network Technology Co., Ltd., the Public Security Management Corps of Wuhan Public Security Bureau identified and sorted out 1 166 illegal publications such as De Rosa Mermaid.
"The formal paper book publishing process includes topic declaration, content review, copy printing and distribution. In the' 8 03' case, all links have not gone through formal channels. " Liu Yongjian, director of the Digital Communication Engineering Research Center of Wuhan University of Technology, judged this.
For publishing activities, the "Regulations on the Administration of Publishing" has clear provisions. The first-instance judgment of Wuchang District People's Court held that Tang, as an author or according to common sense, should know that books were illegally published. Even if you don't know the application number and necessary publishing procedures for publishing books subjectively, you can't deny the objective illegality of its business behavior.
People's Daily Online-Wuhan's "August 3" illegal business case was pronounced in the first instance-"dream of publishing books" should not be realized in this way.
