How to treat plagiarism in online literature?

The proliferation of online plagiarism is an old topic. First of all, plagiarism is very shameful. In the process of writing, every word and sentence belongs to one's own children, and the feeling of being plagiarized is as unbearable as being taken away by one's own children, especially since the plagiarist has won the highest honor.

There are many reasons for the proliferation of online plagiarism, but I always think that the lack of respect for originality and the connivance of society for plagiarism are the main reasons for the current proliferation of plagiarism.

The connivance of brain powder makes plagiarists fearless.

In fact, apart from the original author, few people really care about originality. When reading the internet, everyone pays attention to the story. As for plagiarism, they don't care at all. There are still a large number of brain-dead powder who think they have copied it, not completely copied it. After all, it's hard to buy what I like for a thousand dollars, or they think their big books are not copied, just for reference, and even think they are jealous of the original author, and so on. Among fans such as Jing M.Guo, Tang Qigong and An, you can often see such remarks. The connivance of brain powder makes some plagiarists more fearless.

Taobao ghostwriting software added fuel to the fire.

More than 10 thousand words a day is the basic skill of net writers. The general website requires more than 3000 words a day to be fully attended. However, it is not easy to be versatile and continuous. Therefore, some authors will buy Taobao's writing software to copy, piece together or rewrite it in order to get full attendance, sign contracts and get higher exposure.

The benefits that writing software brings to net writers are real, either fame or profit. After some people have tasted the sweetness, more and more net writers will have insufficient moral constraints on themselves and lack awe of originality, which will gradually form a common phenomenon.

The boundary between plagiarism and reference is blurred, and it is difficult to protect rights.

There are two kinds of common plagiarism, one is relatively low-end, which is a direct copy and paste of the original text. This kind of plagiarism is easy to identify, easy to defend rights, and will not be controversial. But if plagiarism is rewritten after post-processing, it is even more difficult to identify. For example, there are fixed routines in Gong Dou's, Crossing, and Xiuzhen's online articles, such as upgrading equipment, marrying a man and a woman but running away with others, crossing to a certain dynasty to become the emperor's concubine and eventually becoming the official queen. When this routine is used by another person, it will be suspected of plagiarism and it will be more troublesome to identify it. There has been no relevant laws and regulations to protect the "patent" of literary creators in China, which has been criticized by many original authors, which is also caused by the blurred boundary between plagiarism and citation.

Plagiarism costs are low.

Whether it's the plagiarism of Qiong Yao's incident or the plagiarism of Splendid Weiyang, which has been making a lot of noise some time ago, the plagiarist just bears a bad name and makes a symbolic compensation at most, which has little influence on the plagiarist, and still earns a lot of money by publishing and adapting. After all, I can simply copy a pile of powder and make a profit easily. Why bother to be original?

"Encourage" Web-based websites

In order to get traffic and attract more people to see it, many websites will also encourage some writers to "borrow" other people's works, and even directly copy the bridges of other websites, and change the name, place and title of the protagonist before putting them on the shelves again. This type of plagiarism is particularly prominent in some small websites.

In addition, when plagiarizing online texts, we usually collect information ourselves, make a palette, and then upload it to the website editor to judge whether it is plagiarized. If plagiarism is confirmed, the plagiarist's book will be severely removed from the shelf. Here's a problem. Website editors may not be objective in judging whether they plagiarize, and may make a subjective determination, or simply judge according to the coincidence degree of words, rather than looking at the overall idea and background. Once a website editor makes a mistake in judgment, it will dampen the initiative of the original creator and encourage the arrogance of the plagiarist.
