Now that Fanxing has spoken out for the University of Michigan Library, many video hosts, illustrators and writers have followed suit and reposted the posts, while also making sarcastic comments about the inaction of the Yuedong platform.

A drop of rain fell, and ripples instantly appeared on the surface of the lake.

.......

.......

"Who hired the navy?"

Qingyun glanced at the comment section and his face turned black.

Originally, all the comments were urging him to update, but now, after just a few seconds, he saw that all the comments were scolding him for plagiarizing Sima.

Qingyun found that there were too many comments, which was totally abnormal, and murmured:

"Such a large number of trolls cannot be caused by that small website. It must be the competitors who want to suppress it!"

Qingyun was a little annoyed. He had some friction with many of his colleagues because he often plagiarized others' manuscripts.

Normally, they would hire water armies to play tricks on each other, which would not be a big deal, but this time, such a large-scale water army was used, obviously wanting to bring him down!

Qingyun discovered that not only in the comment section, but even in the fan group, there were some black people.

Facing their ridicule and insults, Qing Yun was banned one by one, and directly wrote in the fan group: "I am speechless, and you are even plagiarizing. Is it difficult to write a horror story? Do I, with millions of fans, have to plagiarize the work of an author whose name cannot even be found?

"Artistic creations always happen by coincidence. It's just a coincidence that there are some similarities. There's nothing to be surprised about."

Just seconds after he sent the message, a large number of replies appeared below.

"Took a screenshot. (Screenshot)"

"Just coincidentally? Aren't the entire text the same except for the name? Using word replacement is your highest level, right? You can't even copy without understanding it, and you're still being stubborn."

"The pen conveys a myriad of meanings, and the poetry conveys the East and the West."

"Your intelligence makes even the idiots in our village cry."

"Just lie to your buddy. It's okay if he believes you. It can give you some comfort, but don't lie to yourself. I hope you wipe your eyes after typing this, don't let your tears fall on the phone screen. Think about it, who else would believe you except your buddy?"

The replies below were all questioning. Most of Qingyun’s fans were silent, and even if they occasionally said something, they couldn’t get a word in.

Qingyun was furious when he saw this and asked, "Lovecraft himself didn't come out to complain, why are you barking like a dog?"

This stubborn look made the netizens who joined the fan group to watch the show laugh.

Several die-hard fans who supported Qingyun saw that something was wrong and quietly sent private messages to Qingyun.

Qingyun opened it and took a look.

"Qingyun, admit your mistake first and don't make a big deal out of it."

Damn it, why should I apologize? Am I shameless?

If I give in now, won't my colleagues laugh their heads off?

Qingyun gritted his teeth and closed the private message, not caring about it anymore and started pretending to be dead.

Playing dead is the best crisis public relations. It doesn't matter if the matter becomes a big deal. Just wait for the heat to die down and then do some charity and provide some fan benefits to clear yourself.

Qingyun turned off all social media apps and tried to calm himself down.

Li Xiaomeng was undercover in the fan group and started pretending to be dead when he saw Qingyun and immediately reported to Gu Qingshi.

"Boss, this plagiarist is playing dead! I scolded him in the group for half an hour but nothing happened."

Li Xiaomeng is worthy of being the number one evil dog. After scolding for half an hour, he is still energetic and does not show any sign of fatigue.

Gu Qingshi frowned slightly. She didn't expect Qingyun to be so stubborn.

It's just an apology and admitting one's mistake. Is it more important than one's own account?

She couldn't understand Qingyun's mentality.

"Since he is pretending to be dead, let's put pressure on the platform and contact NGI's editor-in-chief Lin."

After receiving the order, Li Xiaomeng immediately called Editor-in-Chief Lin to contact Gu Qingshi.

"Boss Gu, why did you find time to come to me?"

When Editor Lin became the editor-in-chief, his tone immediately became less respectful than before, but he remained the same and was still very easy to get along with.

The last time Gu Qingshi dealt with the Peninsula Chariot, it was Editor-in-Chief Lin who helped her.

"I have encountered some problems. I would like to ask which department is responsible for copyright issues?"

"Mr. Gu, don't flatter me. I don't know anyone who is good at copyright. Who are you going to sue?"

"The Leaping Platform is the one headquartered in the imperial capital."

Both Xiao Gu and Lao Lin are old foxes who have lived for decades. Editor-in-Chief Lin suddenly understood what Gu Qingshi wanted to do.

"The copyright administration department in the capital is carrying out a 'clean-up' campaign. I just had dinner with their leader a few days ago."

"Then I'll have to trouble Editor-in-Chief Lin with this matter."

Editor Lin narrowed his eyes and smiled, "No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Gu, if you have a new game, please remember us NGI."

The phone hangs up.

........

Less than half a day later, Qingyun's account was quietly restricted from search on the Yuedong platform, and a "controversial account" label was added to his personal homepage.

But Qingyun, who was pretending to be dead, still knew nothing about this.

He turned off all his social media apps to try to cover up his mistake.

He was reading a book when his cell phone rang.

Qingyun subconsciously wanted to hang up the phone, but when he saw the incoming call message, his action stopped.

Leaping - Editor-in-Chief Huang Ge

"Qingyun, where are you now?"

Qingyun asked cautiously, "I'm at home, Brother Huang, is there an accident?"

"Someone has reported the platform to the Copyright Bureau! They are investigating and trying to catch an example. It could have been resolved with an apology, but you made it a big deal!"

Copyright Office!?

The blue sky is like falling into an icy cave.

This matter cannot be described with just a simple "big deal". After the investigation from above, Yuedong will definitely have to make some rectifications.

As the culprit, his future in Yuedong has come to an end.

Qingyun still couldn't believe it, "It's impossible, their website is just a small and unknown website, I specially investigated it..."

Editor-in-Chief Huang's angry voice interrupted him directly.

“Go online and see for yourself!

"Now they have sued you, the platform can't do anything about it, so you're on your own!"

Top 5 hot searches on Pilipala Video Network:

1. Yuedong platform is undergoing rectification due to plagiarism issues

2. The National Copyright Security Administration said: Protect intellectual property rights, plagiarism is shameful

3. Who is Lovecraft?

4. Does Miskatonic University really exist?

5. The video host with millions of fans is involved in a plagiarism storm and will be tried in court soon

Information spreads quickly on the Internet, and soon the news that Yuedong platform had to take three days to rectify its plagiarism problem spread on the Internet.

As one of the top short video platforms in China, Yuedong naturally attracted attention when such a big news suddenly broke out.

The "Qingyun plagiarism" behind it was soon exposed.

Then the people who paid attention to this matter fell into confusion.

Qingyun plagiarized Lovecraft's "Rats in the Walls", so who is Lovecraft?

Everyone was stunned.

This name cannot be found anywhere - either on the intranet or the Internet.

And this story is quite interesting. Why is the original author not famous at all, and didn’t come out to defend his rights when he was plagiarized?

The website of the University of Michigan Library is not very famous, and most people don't even know the address of this website. As for those who don't pay much attention to the Qingyun plagiarism incident, even the University of Michigan Library is a strange name.

It was not until someone traced the source and discovered the dynamic message released by Fanxing about "reaching cooperation with the University of Michigan Library" that the exact address of the University of Michigan Library was found, and "The Rat in the Wall" was discovered in the "Documentation and Classics" section.

Then they were shocked.

There are dozens of novels in this section, half of which are signed by "HP Lovecraft".

Although most of the stories are difficult to understand and make people sleepy, several of them are indeed chilling.

"Rats in the Walls", "At the Mountains of Madness", "Pickman's Model"......

But why is it that there is no name found at all for such a horror novelist?

So: Who exactly was Lovecraft?

......

Many people are also attracted by the concept of "Miskatonic University".

Located in the friendly neighborhood town of Arkham, Massachusetts, the school has a strong academic atmosphere in archaeology, mysticism, history, psychology, etc., and has reached world-class level...

This is so much fun!

A website for a fictitious university, but it looks pretty decent!

The college entrance examination has just ended, and choosing majors and applying to schools are hot topics. Many parents who are not aware of the situation are attracted by the "first-class disciplines" on the school's official website.
