Most online literary platforms have more than 80% of their works pirated every year; of online writers are deeply affected by piracy, and the proportion of those who frequently pirate through Minli is more than 40%. Piracy is rampant, which directly causes the loss of income of writers and discourages their enthusiasm for creation.

According to the report, 64% of writers believe that piracy affects creative motivation. According to data from China Literature, in 2021 alone, 60,000 writers were affected by piracy, and nearly 10,000 works were not allowed to be updated due to piracy. Piracy has seriously damaged the ecology of original content and shaken the foundation of the development of the online literature industry.

The harms of piracy are: infringing copyrights, endangering the interests and development of genuine products, undermining market order, damaging legitimate operations, hindering the development and innovation of the cultural market, and users not getting reasonable after-sales service. Piracy often comes from illegal sources, and when something goes wrong, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Piracy not only restricts the development of productive forces in the book, electronic software, and other industries, but even threatens the development of the entire cultural industry, making it difficult for the cultural industry to continue.

If students buy pirated textbooks, the wrong knowledge will mislead them. If pirated products are not stopped in time, the rights and interests of purchasers will be seriously harmed.

Low-end pirated books. The overall printing quality is poor, easy to identify, which is manifested in: poor paper (paper is thin, yellow, gray) ink color is uneven, hue deviation, overprinting is inaccurate, the image is blurry, ** there are often tape traces or imposition marks on the edge, the finished product is not square, the binding quality is poor (there are many quality problems such as missing lines and wrong pages), and there are many errors in text and punctuation marks (some typos can reach more than ten in one yard), and the sentences are continuous.

The overall printing quality is higher, and the genuine book is not big, and it is more difficult to distinguish, which is manifested in: better paper, more uniform ink color, better hue, more accurate overprinting, clearer image level, more square cut of finished products, better binding quality, and fewer text errors.

Extended information: It can be considered that the current pirated books are still dominated by low-end pirated books, and this situation will continue for a considerable period of time, but it should also be seen that there are a small number of high-end pirated books. Therefore, we should not simply think that "printing *** is not a pirated book, and poor printing quality is a pirated book", nor can we blindly think that "pirated books must be cheaper than genuine books".

Legal basis: Article 48 of the Copyright Law provides that a person who commits any of the following infringements shall, according to the circumstances, bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the impact, making a formal apology, and compensating for losses; If the public interest is harmed at the same time, the copyright administrative department may order the cessation of the infringing act, confiscate the unlawful gains, confiscate or destroy the infringing copies, and may impose a fine;
