Is the contract of Reading Group valid?

On May 6th, the new management team of Wen Yue Group, such as Cheng Wu, the new CEO, Hou Xiaonan, the president, and Yang Chen, the editor-in-chief, held the first online forum with a number of online writers, and discussed the recent striking contract disputes and other business rules. Cheng Wu said that in the existing contract, the direction of revision was clarified by reading the text, and the more specific revision was determined after a series of forums and investigations by online writers.

So far, the old and new management teams who read articles have been involved in a series of contracts and the rights and interests of online writers, which has caused great waves in the rivers and lakes of online articles. Among them, the most concerned is the copyright clause, which is also the most controversial part of online writers. Cheng Wu believes that copyright includes copyright personal rights and copyright property rights. The author's personal right is an inalienable exclusive right. Reading articles will never share or acquire this right in any way. In order to adapt and adapt,

The meeting made it clear that the relationship between online writers and reading platforms is not a labor-employment relationship, but a labor-employment relationship. The welfare policy of online writers for many years will not be cancelled because of the attendance award and the half-year award. In addition, the author's personal rights belong to the author, and the rules of property rights income and free mode are chosen by the author. In the future, the reading meeting will consider providing multiple versions of the contract for online writers.

Reciprocity is the basic principle. We also thank many authors for their trust in us, hoping to give their works value. Cheng Wu said: At the same time, the author group is huge. Specifically, everyone's situation is different. In the future, multi-version contract options will be provided, and the authorization level will be considered, and the choice will be given to the author.

As for whether the free mode of reading will affect the author's income, the new management of Reading Group stressed that paid reading must continue to be consolidated and expanded, but in the future, when considering the free mode, there will also be a clear author's income, and reading will pay for the acquisition of relevant rights in the contract.

At the same time, reading articles needs to plan different works libraries for paid reading and free reading, matching different product channels and corresponding income systems, including Tencent's own distribution channels such as WeChat reading. Any mode is chosen by the author.
