Yes. While a true story consists of facts which are not copyrightable per se, the creative work that goes into telling that story can be. This includes the unique writing style, the sequence of events as presented, and any additional elements like character development within the context of the true story. For instance, if you're writing a memoir, your personal insights and the way you connect different parts of your life story are protectable under copyright law.

Whether or not writing a true story into a novel was considered a violation of rights depended on the source and use of the true story. If the true story originated from someone else's creation, such as literary works, news reports, historical events, etc., then adapting the true story into a novel and publishing it to the public may constitute an copyright violation against others. This was because adapting someone else's work required the original author's authorization, otherwise it might constitute copyright violation. If the true story was self-created and did not violate the copyright of others, then the adaptation of the true story into a novel and the public release of it generally did not constitute an copyright violation. Of course, if the true story and the novel's expression were so similar that the original author might think that the novel's expression was a part of his work, it might also constitute an copyright violation. In this case, he needed to consider the specific situation. In short, whether writing a true story into a novel would constitute a violation of rights against others required a comprehensive consideration of the source of the true story, the use of the story, and the way the novel was expressed. If you're not sure if it's a violation, it's best to consult a relevant professional first.

Yes, you can. The fact that a true story is well - known doesn't prevent copyright. The copyright is based on the creative work put into retelling or presenting the story. If you create a new work based on a well - known true story, say a musical about a famous historical event, the music, the lyrics, the staging, and the overall creative interpretation can be copyrighted. However, you can't claim exclusive rights to the underlying facts which are public knowledge.

Is it true that the copyright belongs to Yuewen forever? Usually, the copyright would only belong to the author's family or the copyright owner permanently after the author's death. The specific way of ownership depended on the copyright law. For example, in many countries, an author's copyright is usually valid for 50 years after his death, and then the copyright can be extended or terminated according to certain conditions of the law. However, in 2020, Yuewen Group announced that it would pay a total of 10 billion yuan in copyright fees to the company in exchange for permanent ownership of the copyrights to games such as Honor of Kings and League of Legends. This meant that Yuewen Group had obtained permanent ownership of the copyrights of certain works, but this did not mean that the copyrights of these works would always belong to Yuewen Group. The ownership of copyright depended on the law and the specific circumstances. Even if the copyright was permanently owned by Yuewen Group, it did not mean that the author or other copyright owners could not pursue the responsibility through legal means. Therefore, readers of any literary work should respect the author's copyright and avoid violating the intellectual property rights of others.
