If someone wants to reprint your novel, but your novel is also reprinted, should I give her permission?

Answer 1

The copyright issue needed careful consideration. If the novel was reprinted, it was necessary to confirm whether the original author had obtained authorization. Generally speaking, if a novel was reprinted from an unauthorized website, the original author might have the right to prevent it from being reprinted or shared in any form.

In this case, you can consider contacting the rewriter and negotiating the authorization issue. You could ask the other party to sign a license agreement that clearly stated the rights and obligations of reprinting and using the novel, and pay the corresponding copyright fees. If the novel was original and the original author did not have the authorization, then the author might have to pay the copyright fee and obtain the original author's permission to reprint it.

Of course, if the original author did not want to pay the copyright fee or was unwilling to grant the copyright, they could also choose not to grant the copyright to the reproducer. However, this may result in their works not being able to be shared and used on a wider platform, and may also violate laws and regulations.

Therefore, when considering the issue of authorization, you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons and negotiate with the original author or copyright owner to ensure that your work is fully protected.
