For short video authors like them, plagiarizing each other is commonplace and is all considered "artistic creation and reprocessing." However, the University of Michigan Library jumped out and tore off the fig leaf, pointing at their noses and saying "this is plagiarism."

"You're sick!"

Qingyun felt that this was completely unreasonable.

Why did they make such a big fuss about copying and plagiarizing each other's works? It even escalated to the legal level. Who would waste time on a lawsuit?

He is a well-known video host on the Yuedong platform with millions of fans and great fame.

He happened to click on a link to the website of the University of Michigan Library in the fan group, and found that there were many horror folk stories with a strong atmosphere there. Seeing that it was a small and unknown website, he directly copied and pasted the manuscript.

Small websites like this generally don't pursue copyright infringement. At most, they'll post a note like "No Reprinting" under the article. But even if they reprint it, they can't do anything about the infringer - how can a big internet celebrity with millions of fans like your small website with only a few people on it get involved? Copying your article is to help you promote it!

So Qingyun didn't take Gu Qingshi's warning seriously at all and released a new video as usual in the evening.

After setting the new short video to be automatically published, Qingyun hummed a tune and ordered some takeout.

Before the takeaway arrived, his phone notifications were filled with messages from the fan group. Qingyun opened them and was annoyed.

The University of Michigan Library issued a rights protection statement, and it was not posted on their own website for self-entertainment, but directly posted on various video platforms!

Outrageous!

"Isn't this just bullying? It would be fine if everyone is happy, but why do you have to tear each other apart?" Qingyun almost exploded after seeing the video.

His video has been posted for several days and has millions of views. Can it still be deleted? Does he have no shame?

Taking advantage of the fact that the video of the rights protection statement was not very popular, Qingyun immediately contacted the editor-in-chief of the Yuedong platform.

"Brother Huang, there is a controversial video about me. Please limit the traffic and take it down to deal with him."

After all, Qingyun has millions of fans and has a lot of say on the Yuedong platform. When Editor-in-Chief Huang heard the news, he immediately asked with concern: "What happened?"

"We've run into a copyright thief!" Qing Yun was annoyed and cursed, "They borrowed an article from a small website, but they wanted to hype it up and had to issue a copyright notice to attract traffic to their own website!"

The editor-in-chief understood the situation and was immediately speechless.

It turned out to be plagiarism...

He has seen this kind of thing many times, and there have been cases where people have made trouble, but most of them have been suppressed by the Leaping Platform.

Whether the hype is true or not is another matter, but the plagiarism of Qingyun should be confirmed. Otherwise, it would not have led to the issuance of a rights protection notice.

"Which one did you copy? Don't tell me you didn't copy."

Qingyun was speechless, and then he said: "A small forum called the University of Michigan Library."

Editor-in-Chief Huang immediately asked his staff to search for the website name and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, this is really a small website and it won’t cause any trouble as long as the traffic is restricted.

Editor-in-Chief Huang immediately ordered the staff to freeze the rights protection video, restrict searches and recommendations, and warned Qingyun: "I've cleaned up your mess this time. Be more careful next time and don't do things so blatantly."

.......

.......

“Why can’t I find it?”

Li Xiaomeng was dumbfounded when she saw the empty search results.

This video was restricted from search less than half an hour after she uploaded it?

She couldn't take care of this matter, so Li Xiaomeng decisively chose to seek external help.

"Boss, something happened!"

A few minutes later.

Gu Qingshi fell silent. Is this platform trying to protect Qingyun?

She was busy with her work at the World Game Expo and really didn't have time to argue with the Leap Platform.

But how could she swallow this anger?

Li Xiaomeng got angry and asked angrily, "Boss, are we going to take the legal route?"

Gu Qingshi rolled her eyes at her.

Needless to say?

"Immediately arrange for legal affairs to handle the problem!"

Li Xiaomeng was stunned. "Where did our studio's legal department come from?"

This stupid kid... Gu Qingshi reminded her: "Didn't our front desk student study law? Ask her to reorganize the legal department and invite the lawyer who previously handled the Peninsula Chariot."

"Ok!"

Li Xiaomeng responded immediately, but muttered to herself.

The lifespan of this receptionist is really short. Xiao Tang was transferred to a subsidiary company after working there for a week, and Xia Yin was promoted to the legal department after just a few days...

Yo, promotion device! ?

Li Xiaomeng was wondering whether she should sit at the front desk for a few days to share in the good fortune.

Before Li Xiaomeng could think about it, Gu Qingshi ordered: "Go to the second development department and get me a promotional picture of the game."

"what?"

"Don't worry."

"okay!"

Li Xiaomeng immediately went downstairs to print out a promotional picture for the game. These pictures were originally intended to be used to promote Baldur's Gate at the World Game Exhibition. There were a lot of them, so it didn't matter if Gu Qingshi took a few.

Gu Qingshi saw Li Xiaomeng coming and pointed at the wall and said, "Post it on the wall and take a picture."

"Ah?" Li Xiaomeng didn't understand what Gu Qingshi was doing, but after being glared at, she immediately put the promotional poster on the wall.

"Come on, smile, eggplant!"

Click!

"Okay, no need to post it."

Li Xiaomeng was putting up posters, looking at the half-pasted poster with a confused look on her face, not knowing what to do.

.......

Ten minutes later, a video suddenly appeared on the NGI forum and Pilipala video website.

"Uncle Gu personally visited the front line of the Stars, and the new game information was suspected to be leaked"

Posted by: Uncle Gu wants to eat strawberries

The video is very simple, just a few casually taken photos, but its popularity is rising rapidly.

Because this is - the uncle party that never goes out of style!

Gu Qingshi is already a hot figure, and there is no need to say much about Fanxing's fame, especially since Battlefield has been online for several weeks and the story mode has been almost completed. Players who pursue a single-player experience are in a state of electronic stomach nourishment.

There is no other reason, there are just too many masterpieces this year.

Especially the two masterpieces "Among the Gods" and "Battlefield" have spoiled the players, and playing other games always feels boring.

The news of Fanxing’s new game has been leaked, and its popularity is naturally self-evident.

The several photos in the video look like they were taken casually, with no composition or design. Moreover, the photos on the first floor are exactly the same as those revealed in offline tests, which makes them more realistic!

It’s really Uncle Gu!

Players have already seen the clues. In the last photo of the video, a silly girl is posting a promotional poster: a magnificent stone bridge across a river, with densely packed Western fantasy buildings clinging to the stone bridge and hanging over the river.

On the side is written "Feilongguan" - "Baldur's Gate" in both Chinese and English.

"New game? New game!"

"Does anyone know what type of game this is?"

"Western fantasy magic strategy FPS?"

“Looks like an RPG?”

"Flying Dragon Pass is a geographical location in "Dungeons & Dragons", located in Baldur's Gate in the Sword Coast region of Faerun. The specific entry can be found in the Miskatonic University Library and Archives. (Attached with the website address)"

Gu Qingshi hit the Enter key and sent this information to the comment section of the video.

Within a few minutes, the number of likes increased by dozens.

Gu Qingshi then opened the backend of the Michigan University Library's website and found that the number of website visitors had increased by hundreds in just a few minutes.

Plan accomplished!

Gu Qingshi smiled with satisfaction, and then wrote a post using Fanxing's social media account.

“We are very happy to cooperate with the University of Michigan. We sincerely hope that the plagiarism problem that the University of Michigan Library has encountered recently can be solved as soon as possible.”

Afterwards, Gu Qingshi posted Li Xiaomeng’s rights protection statement.

Chapter 109 [Justice Execution]

With Fanxing's help, the popularity of the University of Michigan Library and the rights protection video instantly increased.

Fanxing fans and game players who were still unaware of the whole story clicked on the rights protection video and watched it, and were filled with indignation.

Many of the players in Fanxing make game videos or write articles and make music. Especially for Victoria and Battlefield, many video hosts have made videos for these two games.

As creators, they can relate to this kind of plagiarism.

Many creators who post videos on a fixed website may easily have their videos reposted in their entirety by other websites.

Some kind people will even leave you the original video address, but some bastards will just tag it as original and forward it away.

Maybe even the watermark hasn’t been removed!

As for problems such as plagiarism and piracy in other industries, they are too numerous to count.

We see these things every day, and it's like stepping on a pile of dog shit. We can only pinch our noses and avoid them.

Trying to reason with a plagiarist will only make you angry and exhausted by his sophistry and unreasonableness, which will not be worth the effort.

It is even more difficult to file a lawsuit. You may pay the lawyer and before the lawsuit is over, new plagiarism will come. This will only waste your time and money.
