The industry chain of script killing is relatively simple. After the author creates the online script, it can be put online as long as it passes the online APP review, and players can experience it for free or paid; offline scripts are completed by the author or studio After the first version of the script is designed, contact the publisher. The publisher will propose revisions to the script content based on its own market experience and feedback from organized script reviews, and discuss the sales model with the author or studio. After the draft is finalized, the publisher contacts its own art resources to produce the script, and later sells the script through exhibitions and online distribution channels. Some script studios and established authors will distribute themselves.
From the perspective of the industry chain of script killing, the intellectual property rights involved in the early stage are mainly copyrights. Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Copyright Law stipulates: The works of Chinese citizens, legal persons or other organizations, whether published or not, enjoy copyright in accordance with this law. Articles 6 and 7 of the Implementing Regulations of the Copyright Law stipulate that copyright arises from the date of completion of the creation of the work. From this point of view, when the author creates a script, he enjoys copyright according to law, so do we still need protection? Rights have always existed, but how to show that it exists and how to prove its existence? Only by proving that the author owns the copyright to the work created by him can we better safeguard our legal rights and interests after infringement. So what should the author do when creating?
