Martial arts Miyeonsi's barbarian writer (Episode 123)

Copyright. 

One of my friends was taken to the police station after uploading a movie to his web hard drive to earn pocket money while he was studying for civil service.. 

‘It wasn't me who posted it, it was my younger brother who was in elementary school. I didn't do it. sorry. sorry.’ 

My friend took my younger brother away and made him write a letter of remorse on his behalf, and he was disciplined, but when he thought about that incident, he felt dizzy and was embarrassed that he had lost his younger brother's face.. 

We laughed and made fun of our friend, but apart from that, he never used the web hard drive again after that.. 

Today, thanks to the grateful laws that protect the rights of creators, many creators around the world are making a living. However, it was not that long ago that this copyright law became popular.. 

Of course, there is no copyright law for creators in this world either..

If there is a good article, we pass it around to each other, share it, split it into pieces, and say, “Oh, this is the wrong tech tree.” It's a world where. 

“Hwarin. Let's close the door and go!”

“huh!”

If my book becomes famous, piracy will be inevitable. not unexpected. 

In order to protect my rights, there must be an information network to find out where my books are being sold illegally, and there must be administrative power or military force to judge pirated editions, but where can a barbarian do that?. 

But that's a story outside Uichang, the city where I work. I never thought something like this would happen in Uichang. 

“It's really selling.”

Actually, my Danga Pungun was being sold in another bookstore.. 

“welcome. Are you looking for Danga Pung-un, a hit movie these days? It’s much cheaper here than Daseogak… … . what! You're a barbarian from Daseogak.!”

The bookstore owner noticed my black hair and immediately frowned.. 

“what is this!”

“What are you doing? These days, they are selling the popular Tangga Pungun at a low price..”

When I glared, the bookstore owner avoided my gaze, pretending not to notice. I didn't do anything that pricked my conscience.?

“Isn’t this a commercial road?!”

I raised my voice so that everyone passing by could hear..

“What is Sangdo?.”

“Dangga Pungun is a work created with the support of Daseogak! And yet, are you saying that you are going to ignore the rules and say something like this??”

Just because there is no copyright law for creators does not mean that the world is devoid of commercial ethics.. 

Even in this world, publishers often sponsor writers to help them with their writing activities and make money by publishing on their behalf. Didn’t Hwarin’s maternal grandfather do something like that?.

This is a world in which the copyright of the publisher, not the copyright of the creator, exists in an early form called the commercial road..

“There is no reward for a barbarian bastard to protect.!”

Hey. Raw discrimination against barbarians. After all, these are the midfielders I know.. 

“hey. What did you say to Yunho just now??”

Hwarin suddenly took out a memorization book from her free hand and took a step closer to the bookstore owner. what. where did she get it from. 

“Mu, mu, the martial arts people are trying to beat people.!”

“Hwarin. I'll do it.”

I stopped Hwarin, whose voice was quiet. The owner of the competing bookstore looked at Hwarin and me back and forth with a thoughtful look in an instant, then opened his mouth again.. 

“Oh, barbarian! You must have good morals. How dare you look for commercial ethics?!”

“What kind of custom did I break?.”

“You muddied the waters of Uichang by bringing in a bookstore from a foreign country. Don’t you know that all the bookstores in Uichang are crying because of you??”

“what is that…….”

“I guess they were trying to find a good writer somewhere and make some money. We can't stand that! Because all the bookstores in Uichang decided to work together to make up for the loss with this book. I know so!”

Contrary to his voice, the bookstore owner looked at Hwarin's eyes and slowly backed away as he finished his sentence.. 

Was that how things happened?. 

Daseogak is the largest bookstore in Uichang. The entire three-story building is used as a bookstore, so it has a lot of books and is located on the main street with good accessibility.. 

50There was a good reason why the bookstore had good sales even after years of poor management. When such a bookstore adopted a new sales method, many customers flocked to it..

Of course, sales at nearby bookstores are bound to decline.. 

“Yunho. You can come forward?”

“Stabbing me alone won't solve the problem!”

“If you don't want to get stabbed, there's medicine too..”

“Hehehe!”

“don't.”

I stopped Hwarin once again. If all bookstores decide to print Tangga Pungun, this is not a problem that can be solved by pointing a knife at one or two people.. 

This is a completely fucked up situation.. 

With a book that is becoming a hot topic, you can make money and cause damage to Daseogak. There must have been no reason to cover it with awards or anything..

“but. Yunho.”

“Because I have an idea. Follow.”

“Let's go together!”

I left the competing bookstore without looking back..

------------------

Since the other party started the fight first, I have no intention of enduring it unilaterally.. 

No, if you endure a fight like this once, you will have to keep getting hit in the future.. 

As Kang Yun-ho, the owner of Daseo-gak, and as Ho Pil, the author of Dangga Pungun, this fight must be won at all costs. So what is the way to win?. 

If a war breaks out between companies, the easiest way to do so is through cut-throat competition. The problem is that when competition is fierce, the opponent has an overwhelming advantage..

“The printing press over there is overwhelmingly better..”

The printing press that Daseogak has is decades old. They don't even have a casting machine to make type.. 

On the other hand, they probably have better printing presses and the supply chain to produce books at lower prices.. 

If you compete with blood, there is a high probability that you will not be able to compete with your opponent..

“Should I just poison them all??”

Hwarin suggested to me with a worried look..

“If you do something like that, even if it's not the Tang family, the Sichuan Tang family will come to catch you..”

It's good to think of a method, but it's a method that goes too far. This is not life or death between martial artists, but competition between merchants.. 

The moment you become a benefactor rather than a competitor, you may not be able to do business in Uichang..

“See... … . then what should i do.”

“There is a way.”

“what way?”

Hwarin looked at me with a curious expression.. 

When Daseogak competes fiercely in publishing, it loses overwhelmingly. I guess they think it's a fight they can only win one-sidedly.. 

But there is no reason to fight in a place where the other party has an advantage.. 

If my opponent has the advantage, I will upset the game itself.. 

“There is one method that takes some time. In the meantime, I have no intention of being attacked unilaterally. I need to keep it in check..”

Let’s deliver a one-two punch that will definitely shock you.. 

If they exploit the bookstore's weaknesses, I will use my strengths.. 

“check? What are you going to do?.”

“I'm going to try something called taking coordinates..”

With the strength of being a writer.

**********

Hwang Seosaeng visited Daseogak today as usual.. 

Waiting for the second volume of Tang Jia Feng Yun is very arduous. The more times Hwang Seo-saeng read Tang Jia Pung-un, the more his thirst for the second volume became stronger, as if he was drinking sea water.. 

“It's a shame because there's a tea party..”

A meeting to discuss Tang family fortune. Tea book club).

At least the meeting with Daseohoe members lessened my thirst for the next volume. As party music became more popular, the number of members increased.. 

Hwang Seo-saeng entered the bookstore again today and the first thing he did was look at the shelf piled with Tang Gapoongun.. 

“Unbelievable! Nonsense!”

“This is a dream! It has to be a dream!”

The Daseohoe members who arrived there first were screaming..

“What on earth is going on??”

Hwang Seo-saeng asked the people who were screaming with shocked faces, but none of them could answer and pointed to a sign with a despairing expression on it.. 

Hwang Seo-saeng looked at the sign to understand the cause of the situation..

[It's a pleasure….]

If he has a good pen, wouldn't he be a writer of Dangga Pungun? Is there any news that volume 2 is finally coming out? Hwang Seo-saeng began to read the text..

[I had a drink… … . I thought and wrote day and night. I did my best and worked hard with the help of Daseogak. I was happy that my sincerity was conveyed to the readers. But even for a moment. I discovered that my writing was being used at a bookstore other than Daseogak, which helped me. I can't write because I'm shocked..] 

[I will stop writing for a while and rest..] 

“What kind of sound is this?!”

Hwang Seo-saeng held his head at this unbelievable news.. 

“I think Volume 2 of Tangga Pungun may not come out..”

The manager of Daseogak appeared among the screaming people, organized the books, and spoke.. 

“Store manager. What on earth is going on??”

“Why isn't volume 2 coming out?.”

Fans of Tangga Pungwoon surrounded the store manager and demanded an explanation as to why the situation had reached this point.. 

“That is… … . Dangga Pungun is a book written by an author who was supported both materially and spiritually by Daseogak. Fortunately, the writer Hopil liked it and said that the writing was successful and he was able to repay the favor. I just witnessed a shocking scene..”

“What a shocking scene.?”

“Why are other bookstores selling Danggapoongun without permission this time? Thanks to this, Daseogak’s Tanggapungun has not been sold for several days. It is said that upon seeing this, the author was so shocked that he stopped eating and drinking and fell ill..”

The store manager lowered his head in sorrow.. 

“Do they know nothing about mourning? Don't you know that if a bookstore sponsors an author to write a book, then of course only that bookstore should publish the book??”

“How can you not know? They are doing this because Tangga Pungun is selling so well..”

“Of course, the bookstore takes all that money.?”

“yes. It's a pity. Daseogak was giving all the profits to teacher Ho Pil, who was having a hard time, but they haven't been able to give a penny for several days..”

“Are there such trash bastards?!”

“It's because of people like that that good writers live short lives.!”

“Store manager. So what do you plan to do next??”

“ha. What can the manager of one bookstore do against all the bookstores in Uichang? I have no choice but to just give up on Volume 2 of Tangga Pungun..”

Danggapoongun’s serialization has ended. really? 

The faces of the Daseogak members were all different, but they all had the same expression upon hearing the shocking news.. 

“We can't let Dangapoongun end with volume 1 like this..”

Hwang Seo-saeng gathered his shocked mind and spoke to the members..

“Yes, that's right! That can't be right! We will use our strength as a group..”

“How do you mean.”

The store manager noticed their actions with a blush on his face..

“Just wait and see.”

The members of the Daseohoe gathered around each other and began discussing future measures.. 

“I have friends who were looking forward to coming to the tea ceremony. There are probably dozens of people. If you convince your friends…….”

“At our school, there are friends who have been waiting for the next volume these days.…….”

“I will try to convince Master. Since you are an avid reader, you will be willing to allow it..”

“Guests?”

“““Just trust us!”””

The eyes of the Daseohoe members were burning with more determination than ever before.. 

--------------

“What is this?”

The next morning. All over downtown Uichang. Numerous posters were posted in places where people passed by..

[Oh my gosh.]

[Since the Yao and Shun era, supporting talented and poor people has always been an eternal virtue and value. The same was true of Daseogak, which supported a writer who was hidden in the shadows today..]

“What does it say??”

“Daseo-gak sponsored it and published the Tangga Pungun, but I guess another bookstore printed it on their own..”

“That novel that's popular these days?”

“okay. These guys are complete trash. I heard the author was shocked and said he wouldn't publish volume 2..”

“no! I want to see you fucking the Hubuk Jeil Gisaeng.!”

[The act of arbitrarily manipulating another person's work. It's absolutely deplorable. They are gnats that suck the blood of a poor writer. What is the difference between a wicked group of people who take away even the best books of protection from an inspector?.] 

[From now on, our Uichang Scholars' Association will purchase all books only from Daseogak and will boycott bookstores that extort other people's works..]

[Daseohoe, a lover of tea and books.]

“The students truly made a meaningful decision. People with no morals like that should be punished.!”

“What a boycott. If students who buy a lot of books boycott the bookstore as a group, it would be a huge blow to the bookstore..”

“How on earth is this book so interesting that we're boycotting the next volume??”

“Don't you know? These days, there is even a group called Daseohoe that discusses the book..”

“Huh. I'll have to see it when I get a chance..”

The posters posted all over downtown Uichang attracted the attention of many people.. 

Even people who were not normally interested in books began to take interest in Dangga Pungwoon, saying they were boycotting just because of a novel.. 

One by one, the number of people who bought the Tang family fortune increased, the number of people who were enthusiastic about the Tang family fortune increased, and the meetings of the Daseohoe became more popular.. 

“A customer disappeared from the bookstore!”

“no! Where have all those students gone??!”

As the number of readers who became angry at the culprit for not releasing the next volume increased, the damage to bookstores began to increase.. 

*************

“I tried to just throw a light one-two punch, but it worked better than I expected..”

Even if I took the coordinates, it seemed like it would only be a one-two check punch, but it seems like it was a counter punch..

Originally, I thought it would just be a check before using other strategies..

“I can't be satisfied with this.” 

Even if there are unexpected results, if you can use them, you should use them..

I started writing down on paper again.. 

[It's a pleasure….]

I think Hopil will feel dizzy. Please torture me more quickly.
