    "1.) QI is right in dual-hosting the 20 licensed translations because the "right to translate" automatically entitles them to the copyright on the translation itself."

    There is no right to translate. If I learned chinese, I could find the raws for any novels and translate them and I would be well within my right. I could monetise and host it to my hearts content.

    The translation is a seperate IP to the raws and therefore does not fall under the same ownership, since if nothing else, it falls under fair use as a transformative work.

    The DMCA notice is a separate issue not pertaining to the novels that are related to the move.

    One last thought, one positive that might come out of this is case law that might allow us to fight back against Yan press in a tangential maner.... I mean maybe, hopefully oh wait shit they fucked over the community legally... guess it won't apply, damn. Congrats @Qidian you somehow are worse then the novel updates equivalent of super Satan.......

    that's right! Acting like this, they are really courting death. How many people will read their novels? Ren is with us since the beginning, it's really difficult to not side with the guy who provided you so much entertainment. The question is: Is really worth to antagonize with WW and being hated by almost everyone in the community FOR IT? How many potential readers will QI attract if everyone hates it?

    As I said: What is everyone waiting for?

    That is only according to them. But, as Ren said, if they already had those rights, they wouldn't have offered the tl'ers money to buy their works. In this case, I do not believe(even 0.000000000000000000000000001%) the explanation Austin gave for that.

    I feel exactly the same, but it seems Qidian feels us neutrals are nothing but amoral fags who will eat from any bowl, if those comments are true anyways. So while I take no sides, I will stop reading at Qidian, because if they cannot respect their readers then I want to keep some face and not be the rabid dog they seem to think I am. Shame though I kinda liked Magus Era.......

    But you DMCA-ed the whole site? Why not just the certain novels which it pertained to? You can DMCA only those pages - but you chose not to. That would be a breach of contract - you are violating the right you said they have - to host the novels from the agreement. Am I correct?

    Using physical is just unprofessional and unethical, no matter how you hate Qi, don't suggest something stupid.

    1.) Ownership of source material
    2.) Implied consent
    3.) Right to distribute
    4.) Ownership of derivative work

    All of these are at play here.
    So far:
    1.) Qidian for sure has ownership of the source material
    2.) Qidian is assuming implied consent from RWX who represents WW
    3.) Right to distribute is up for grabs
    4.) Ownership of derivative work is also up for grabs but so far the translators own their own copyrights (unless employed by QI, in which case they signed that over in their contracts)​

    The DMCA is only for those novels, but how cloudflare handles DMCA's is to remove the entire site.

    I just get a poem from Wikipedia
    Wuxia World sat on a wall,
    Qidian had a great fall.
    Four-score Men and Four-score more,
    Could not make NUF where he was before.

    just be careful guys, I think it's a trap

    Omfg... Sometimes silence worth way more than pointless reply's.
    I'm not even sure at this moment if he is just bad at PR thing or he does that on purpose to sabotage Qidians reputation because the latter one seems to be the case.
    All of @Qidian reply's not only didn't help to prove their case it actually made it even worse for them by proving that they don't have any sound arguments, any proof and by even showing that they were lying earlier themselves

    We're in a world beyond logic, rules, ethics, or any semblance of common sense now. See, if you believe in something hard enough and repeat it enough times, it eventually turns into the truth.
