1 Letter From Tiger to All Readers!

This morning, as soon as Tiger swiped his WeChat Moments, he saw an article from "Nandu Digital Newspaper" reprinted by Bao Jianfeng's WeChat in his Moments - "Crazy Piracy of Internet Literature, Writers Can't Be Works" host".

This is an article denouncing the damage caused by piracy to online literature. Tiger clicked on the article and read it from beginning to end. He felt sorry for him and couldn't calm down for a long time. He always felt something surging in his chest. , I want to say something to everyone.

The problem of piracy, perhaps from the day when texts could be uploaded to the Internet, has attached itself to the entire literature industry like a shadow, and online literature is the hardest hit area of ​​piracy. From "Han Han's Letter to Baidu Mr. Li Yanhong" to today's "Nandu Digital News" article, Tiger has seen a lot. I believe that, except for Tiger himself, the same article or message has been shared by everyone over the years. Have seen a lot.

All these articles, when talking about the harm of online piracy, generally focus on three aspects to criticize the piracy phenomenon of online literature. The first level of criticism of online piracy is the moral level, and the second level is At the level of the legal system, the third level is the economic level—mainly focusing on the huge losses caused by online literature piracy to the entire industry.

After reading these articles denouncing piracy, all readers will have an idea that the victims of online piracy are nothing more than writers and online writers, publishing houses and formal websites, and the entire online literature industry—and these victims, For a reader who reads novels, it is too far away.

Even if what I read is a pirated version, so what, anyway, those articles are just there and you can read them without paying. Now, on those pirated literature websites, pirated novels are everywhere, anyway, they are not pirated by myself, If you want to settle accounts, you can't blame yourself. Even if online literature lost 10 billion due to piracy last year, what does it have to do with me?

Have you, and your friends, ever or now, ever had such thoughts?

If you really think so, then you are very wrong.

In Tiger's view, the biggest victims of pirated literature are neither writers and Internet writers, nor publishers and formal websites, but readers who read pirated literature—you read that right, the biggest victims of pirated literature are The reader who reads pirated literature is you, or a friend you know around you. Once those readers come into contact with pirated literature, they will continue to suffer the harm brought to them by pirated literature. They are not aware of this, and no one has even told them the harm of reading pirated literature.

Before writing these words, Tiger also considered for a while, should he write it, and should he talk about the dangers of reading pirated copies from the reader's point of view? With a tiger alive, he is not considered a great god, and his influence is also limited. If he writes such an article rashly, will it make people feel like he is pretending to be garlic?

But after much deliberation, the tiger still decided not to hold back.

I remember when I wrote "Snow Wash", there was a sentence in "Snow Wash" - knowing is power! It was this sentence that inspired Tiger to finish writing "Snow Wash".

Now writing "Fortress of Black Iron", the whole novel of "Fortress of Black Iron" is based on two words - cause and effect.

The word cause and effect is the karma between Tiger and everyone. Because of the word cause and effect, Tiger decided to tell everyone the real harm of reading pirated editions.

The biggest harm of reading piracy lies in the word "pirate" in piracy.

What is "stealing" - taking without giving is stealing.

A novel comes out one chapter at a time, which embodies the author's daily hard work and sweat, and the collaborative efforts of many editors, background technicians, operation promotion and many other people on the website to present each novel and each chapter. Let readers read safely and enjoy the fun of reading. It can be said that each chapter of each novel is the joint result of the labor of many people, so reading is paid, and the paid money is earned by the reader or legally owned Yes, in essence, this is a process of buying and selling commodities and exchanging the fruits of labor. This process is no different from buying things in stores.

Pirated texts disrupt this process.

Every network author sits in front of the computer and works hard for seven or eight hours or even more than ten hours every day. They exchange a few cents with you, and you don’t pay. Then, enjoy the fruits of the labor of the authors, this is theft.

Tens of millions are theft, one penny and two cents are theft, and a few cents are also theft.

Maybe some people will feel aggrieved and say, how can I steal it? If I want to pirate it, it is someone else's pirated version. I just look at it.

What is this sentence like? It’s like there are some goods in a family’s yard, and those goods can only be bought with money, and one day, someone pushed the wall of the family’s yard with a bulldozer, and let the goods in the family’s yard Exposed in broad daylight, without any protection, and then the guy who drove the bulldozer said to the onlookers, go ahead, you can take out the things that are piled in the yard, it's yours, no one cares, you can do whatever you want , and no one knows. So the onlookers went into the yard and took away the things in the yard with peace of mind. Do you think this is theft?

The convenience of network technology dissemination is the bulldozer. The goods in the yard are novels chapter by chapter, which are the results of the joint labor and packaging of the author and the website platform. Those who walk into the yard and take away the goods are the Watch pirated readers.

Bodhisattvas fear the cause, all living beings fear the result!

All dharmas are empty, but cause and effect are not empty!

What is the cause and effect of stealing--poverty and hardship!

The reason why I say that readers who read pirated copies are the biggest victims of piracy is that because those readers read a pirated novel, they unknowingly planted the fruit of poverty for themselves, and left themselves with a karma. The seeds of evil...

The silliest thing in the world is this.

Is it because the readers who read the pirated version are poor and lack the few cents for each chapter of the genuine novel?

of course not!

Tiger believes that many readers who read pirated editions read pirated editions more because of their reading habits than because they are stingy or unable to spend a few cents.

Everyone reads the pirated version because it is convenient, because they are used to reading it on certain websites, or because they don’t know how to read the genuine version, just like those book lovers and readers in "Fortress of Black Iron", although they read Most of them are pirated editions, but there are also many readers who often join together to reward Tiger’s novels. Many people donate money ranging from dozens to hundreds or hundreds of dollars each time. This money is enough for them to spend in daily life Read the genuine one.

And because of this, in this process, such a heart-wrenching scene happened-many readers who watched the pirated version did not even know that their actions were "pirating" and giving themselves Sowing bad karma, the few cents and dollars saved today because of watching pirated copies, in the future, they may have to pay a thousand times the price to repay.

The eighth of the Ten Commandments in the Bible is "Forbid Stealing".

The Buddha even explained the cause and effect of "stealing" vividly in classics such as "Ksitigarbha Sutra" and "Ten Virtuous Karma Sutra", telling all living beings that stealing will not bring wealth and convenience to oneself, but will bring wealth and convenience to oneself. Poverty and hardship.

It is not for nothing that in all the sects of the world, and in all the wise men, theft is considered a most serious crime.

All those who do not believe in this cause and effect can observe the life trajectories of those around them who have a history of theft and see whether they are poor or rich.

There are such people around the tiger, and without exception, they all live very poor lives. Even though these people no longer steal, but because of the crimes they committed before, their lives, especially in the In terms of financial luck, they are all very unsatisfactory and full of ups and downs. They all do very hard work, but the pay is very low, and it is difficult to get the approval of others.

——Tiger, you are talking nonsense, I have a friend who often reads pirated novels for several years, but a few days ago he bought a lottery and won 5,000 yuan!

——Yes, I also watch pirated versions, but my current job is not bad...

Maybe some readers will ask Tiger like this, but what Tiger wants to tell these readers is that if that person doesn’t watch pirated versions, maybe he won more than a few thousand dollars in the lottery. good job.

Watching pirated editions is like eating poison. You read a few chapters of pirated editions every day, and you steal a few cents a day. It doesn’t seem to have any impact on your life and wealth in a short time. That’s because you have taken the dose of poison in your stomach. It's still very low, even if it affects you, you can't feel it, and you think everything is normal, but once you accumulate it for a long time, from a few cents to hundreds, thousands, thousands, look at the harm and poverty caused by piracy There must be a release process from quantitative change to qualitative change, which will be manifested in your life and career, allowing you to repay it hundreds of times and thousands of times, and no one can be an exception.

——I really have no money now, my monthly money is only enough to live by myself, but I also like to read novels, so the reading fee for each chapter of the novel is a huge burden for me, what should I do?

If this is the case for some readers, Tiger’s suggestion is, if you are still a student, then put down the novel, study hard, and exercise your skills; if you have no job, then quickly find a job and face your problems. You can treat novels as a hobby, but don’t use novels as a tool to escape from the world, let alone indulge in the world of novels and ignore real problems. In any case, don’t read pirated copies anymore, and don’t destroy your own fortune. Get yourself into a vicious circle.

In the novel, a plot that everyone can see is that the wise old man with a white beard or the protagonist of the novel realized the power of the law at some point and made himself very powerful.

In fact, in reality, such wisdom exists. All wisdom is current, fresh, and closely related to our lives. Everyone can master and use it. Do not watch pirated copies, stay away from all crimes of theft, It is the wisdom and law closest to each of our readers.

Rich people are creating wealth, poor people are creating poverty, what you create is what you are, each of us, when we achieve others, we are also achieving ourselves.

The reason why Tiger wrote this article is because Tiger hopes that all readers who read this article can have a happy and rich life.

Tiger also hopes that the tens of thousands of Internet writers in China who are still typing every day like tigers, those who use keyboards to create their own world, will have a better and broader world in the future.

Finally, Tiger will share with you a sentence he has seen before - being on the right path is the most auspicious!

Right way, right knowledge, right action, right view, authenticity, positive energy, how can a person not be happy, sunny, or rich if they have these in their life?

What do you say...
