The copyright of the online novel was bought out and owned by the author himself. The online literature website would pay the author a certain amount of copyright fees to buy out the author's literary copyright to the literature website so that the literature website could independently manage and operate the content of the literature website, and the author would no longer have the exclusive rights to the literary copyright. The online novel's copyright was bought out by the author himself, which meant that the author's literary copyright still belonged to him. Even if he sold the literary copyright to the literary website, it did not mean that his literary copyright had been transferred to the literary website. It only meant that he had authorized his literary copyright to be used by the literary website. Therefore, the author still had the exclusive right to decide on the update, publication, distribution, and other matters of the literary content.
The copyrights were divided into physical works and online copyrights. Physical works referred to books, journals, newspapers, records, music, movies, television dramas, and other works that were created and directly presented in the real world. Online copyright referred to the copyright enjoyed when a work was published, disseminated, and shared on an online platform. Whether it is a physical work or an online copyright, the copyright enjoyed by the copyright owner includes but is not limited to: 1. Reproduction rights: You can legally copy, distribute, perform, broadcast, exhibit, and spread your work. 2. Right of adaptation: You can obtain the copyright by adapting, translating, compiling, sorting, and other creative acts. 3. Right of Information Network Transmission: You can transmit the information network of your work and publicly transmit your work on the information network. 4. Right to protect the integrity of the work: To continue writing, add, delete, modify, and other creative acts of the work, you need to obtain copyright. 5. Right of signature: During the creation process, the author's name and the title of the work must be indicated. It should be noted that the protection measures for online copyright are relatively limited. For example, the copyright protection period of music works is only 20 years, and the copyright protection period of movies and television dramas is only 10 years. You need to apply for copyright protection in time.
Buying the rights to a TV series was a complicated process. First of all, the copyright belonged to the citizen (author) who created the work. If the work was hosted by a legal person or other organization, created on behalf of the legal person or other organization, and the legal person or other organization was responsible for the work, the legal person or other organization would be regarded as the author. In the absence of proof to the contrary, the citizen, legal person or other organization who signs his name on the work is the author. When purchasing the copyright of a TV series, it was necessary to negotiate with the copyright owner. It might involve discussing and determining the copyright price, the scope of use (such as the broadcasting platform, the broadcasting area, the broadcasting duration, etc.), the authorization period, and so on. However, the current reference materials did not give specific information such as the detailed transaction process or channels for the purchase of TV series copyrights.

Some well-known web novels, such as Ghost Blows Out the Light, Douluo Continent, and Heavenly Official's Blessing, had sold their copyrights at high prices.

These top authors achieved wealth freedom by selling copyrights, and the online literature platform also received considerable profits from it. In addition, some web novels had already sold the film adaptation rights during the period of their serializations. Some works had even been pre-ordered before they were written. However, there was no specific information about the online novel that was sold, so it was impossible to give a specific recommendation.
