The website wants to buy out the novel. What is a buy out?
Buying out a novel on a website usually meant that the author chose to buy the copyright of the novel after publishing it on the website to obtain the independent copyright and commercial profit rights of the novel instead of being adapted, translated, and continued by the website. After the purchase, the author would have the full copyright of the novel and could freely create, publish, sell, adapt, translate, etc. The website would not be able to interfere or obtain copyright profits. At the same time, the author could also choose to license the novel to other companies or individuals for commercial adaptation, production of movies, TV series, games, comics, animation, and other forms to obtain greater commercial benefits. Buyouts were a more flexible way of copyright management, which could bring better business cooperation and creative space for authors and websites. However, they also needed to pay attention to legal issues such as copyright protection, business cooperation, and copyright transactions.
