There was a difference between the protection of copyright in the network environment and the protection of copyright on the Internet.
Online copyright referred to the copyright enjoyed by literary works created on the Internet. In the traditional offline environment, once the copyright was published, it would automatically take effect. And in the network environment, they also enjoyed the copyright of the network.
The scope of protection for online copyrights was similar to the offline environment. It also included the creative expression of literature, art, science, and other aspects of the work, as well as the rights to adapt, translate, perform, and display the work. However, there are also some unique protection mechanisms for online copyrights, such as the Internet copyright protection law, online copyright registration, etc. These mechanisms help to protect the legitimate rights and interests of online copyright owners.
Online copyrights were not copyrights in the online environment. Online copyright is a type of copyright that is protected under the network environment. Online copyright had nothing to do with the internet environment, but with the copyright itself.
The definition of online copyright in the copyright law mainly includes the following aspects:
1. The definition of works: works in the copyright law refer to literary, artistic, and scientific works that are original and can exist independently in some form and be appreciated and understood by others, including novels, poems, essays, plays, movies, music, dances, fine arts, photography, architectural designs, etc.

The signing of contracts and copyrights for online novels were very important issues. The copyright of online novels was usually jointly owned by the author and the platform, but the author would usually specify the scope of his copyright and how to use it.
Online novel contracts usually included the following terms:
1. Owner of copyright: The author's copyright is usually owned by himself, but the platform may publish the work on his platform.
2. The scope of copyright: The author can specify the scope of copyright of his work in the contract, such as whether he can authorization others to use the work, whether he can adapt the work, etc.

4. Revenue distribution: The distribution of revenue between the author and the platform in the work was also a problem that needed to be considered when signing the contract.
In the process of creating and distributing online novels, signing contracts and copyrights were very important factors. The author and the platform needed to fully understand and abide by the relevant laws, regulations, and contract terms.
The copyright of online literature had always been a hot topic. Online literature, such as novel websites and social media, allowed works to be publicly displayed and disseminated. However, due to the lack of copyright management and protection of online literature platforms, the copyright of online literature has gradually become a hot topic in the academic and legal circles.
The copyright of online literature usually belonged to the author himself or to the company or organization that the work belonged to. For online literature, online platforms needed to pay copyright fees to ensure that the copyright rights of the works were fully protected. For works owned by the company or organization that the work belongs to, the network platform needs to sign a copyright transfer agreement with the company or organization to transfer the copyright to the network platform to obtain legal authorization for the work.
In the process of creating and spreading online literature, online platforms also need to abide by copyright laws and regulations to ensure that the copyright of the works is legally protected. The online platform needed to pay the copyright fee to the copyright party and keep the relevant supporting documents of the copyright party in order to prove its legal status in subsequent copyright disputes. In addition, the online platform also had to abide by the relevant provisions of the copyright law. Without the authorization of the copyright party, it was not allowed to adapt, translate, produce, etc.
The copyright of online literature involved the creation, distribution, and income of the works. It required the joint efforts of the online platform and the copyright party to ensure that the copyright rights of the works were fully protected. At the same time, it was also necessary for the online platform to strengthen the management and protection of copyrights to avoid copyright disputes and maintain the legitimacy and positive development of the online literature platform.
The copyright of online novels involved many aspects, including author copyright, platform copyright, adaptation copyright, translation copyright, and so on.
As for the author's copyright, under normal circumstances, the copyright of an online novel author included all the novels created in their name, as well as the rights to adapt and create derivative works based on these works. Therefore, if the author obtained the copyright while writing the web novel, they could sell, transfer, license, or share the work at will before the copyright expired.
The platform usually had the rights to read, display, adapt, and distribute online novels. Therefore, if web novelists published and shared their works through the platform, the platform also had the right to modify, adapt, translate, and distribute the works.
For adaptation rights, if a web novel was adapted into a TV series, movie, or other form of work, the person who adapted it needed to obtain the authorization of the original author. The person who adapted it had to pay the copyright fee to the original author and adapt it according to the original author's requirements.
For translation copyright, if a web novel was translated into another language, the translator needed to obtain the original author's authorization. Translators had to pay the copyright fee to the original author and translate according to the original author's requirements.
It should be noted that in the process of copyright transfer or authorization, the original author may require some additional conditions such as confidentiality agreements, cooperation terms, etc. Therefore, it is recommended to read the relevant agreements carefully when conducting online novel copyright transactions to ensure the legitimacy of the transaction and the protection of the rights of both parties.

The copyright of online novels was usually owned by the author or copyright owner. If the novel is adapted into a movie, television series, animation, or other form of work, the copyright owner has the right to decide how to use the content of the novel, including adapting it into different forms of work.
At the same time, the copyright owner may also ask the author to pay the copyright fee to ensure that the content of the novel is used reasonably. This was usually called the " adaptation rights " or " copyright adaptation fee."
For example, let's assume that it's a television drama. The copyright owner of the TV series may request to ensure that the content of the TV series is used reasonably. In addition, if the TV series achieved great commercial success, these profits might come from the adaptation rights of the TV series or other related business opportunities.
The copyright of online novels was usually managed and controlled by the copyright owner. The author or copyright owner could decide to adapt the novel into a movie, television series, animation, comic, or other form of work, and had the right to decide how to use the content of the novel.
In this case, if the author of the novel had the copyright, they could adapt the novel into any form of work according to their choice. However, if the author of the novel does not obtain the permission of the copyright owner, they may violate the intellectual property rights of the copyright owner.
When a novel is adapted into another form of work, the copyright owner may ask the author to pay a copyright fee to ensure that they have the right to use the content of the novel. In addition, if the novel is used for commercial purposes, the copyright owner may also ask for other fees such as advertising fees, authorization fees, etc.
If the author of a novel wanted to adapt the novel into other forms of work, they should first obtain permission from the copyright owner. If they were unable to obtain permission, they might violate the intellectual property rights of the copyright owner and face legal consequences.
The price of online novel copyrights had risen sharply in recent years. The copyright price of some online novels had already increased by nearly ten times, even exceeding the price of a million yuan. Some well-known screenwriters and cultural industry research experts said that the current IP market was overheated to a certain extent. Some low-quality online novels could be sold at a high price, but the development value of these works was not great. The market was still chasing after high-quality IPs. Although some low-quality IPs were expensive, there was no market for them. The strong entry of Internet companies and capital was also inseparable from the soaring price of online novels. According to the information provided, the film and television copyright royalties for top novels were at least ten million yuan, while the copyright fees for ordinary novels were usually several million yuan. Therefore, the copyright price of online novels was affected by many factors such as the popularity, popularity, and potential market value of the work.
