This morning, as soon as Tiger swiped WeChat's circle of friends, he saw an article from "Nandu Digital News" reprinted by Bao Jianfeng's big WeChat in the circle of friends - "Tieba is crazy about pirating online literature, and writers can't be the owner of the work".

This is an article denouncing the harm caused by piracy to online literature, Tiger clicked on the article, read the article from beginning to end, and felt related, unable to calm down for a long time, always felt that something was surging in his chest, and wanted to say something to everyone.

The problem of piracy, perhaps from the day when the text can be uploaded to the Internet, is like a shadow attached to the entire literary industry, online literature is the hardest hit area of piracy, denouncing online piracy articles, from a few years ago "Han Han wrote a letter to Mr. Baidu Robin Li" to today's "Nandu Digital News" This article, Tiger has seen a lot, I believe, in addition to Tiger himself, the same article or information, everyone has seen a lot over the years.

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

After reading these articles denouncing piracy, all readers will have the idea that the victims of online piracy are nothing more than writers and online writers, publishers and official websites, and the entire online literature industry -- and these victims are too far away for a reader of novels.

Even if you read pirated copies, but so what, anyway, aren't those articles just placed there and you can read them without paying for them. In Tieba, on those pirated literature websites, pirated novels are everywhere, and they are not pirated by themselves anyway, and they can't be counted on their own heads if they want to settle accounts, even if online literature lost 10 billion yuan because of piracy last year. What does this have to do with yourself?

Have you, and your friends, ever thought this way, or do you still have?

If that's what you're thinking, you're very wrong.

In Tiger's view, the biggest victims of pirated literature are neither writers and online writers, nor publishers and official websites, but readers who read pirated literature - you read that right. The biggest victim of pirated literature is the reader who reads pirated literature, that is, you, or the friends you know. Those readers who are exposed to pirated literature continue to suffer from the harm caused by pirated literature, they are unaware of this, and no one has even told them about the dangers of watching pirated literature.

Before writing these words, Tiger also thought about it. Should I write about it, and should I talk about the harm of piracy from the perspective of readers? Tiger at the beginning. is not a god, and his influence is limited, so if he writes such an article rashly, will it make people feel that he is pretending to be a big head of garlic?

But after thinking about it, the tiger decided that he couldn't 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 "Snow Wash" all the time.

Now I write "The Castle of Black Iron". The idea of the whole novel of "Black Iron Castle" is two words - cause and effect.

The word cause and effect is the cause of the tiger and everyone, and it is because of the word cause and effect that the tiger decided to tell everyone about the real harm of reading piracy.

The greatest harm of reading piracy lies in the word "piracy" of piracy.

What is "theft" -- not taking it with you is stealing.

A novel, a chapter comes out. It embodies the author's daily hard work and sweat, and the collaborative efforts of many editors, backstage technicians, operations and promotions of the website, so that a novel and a chapter are presented, so that readers can read safely and enjoy the fun of reading, it can be said that every chapter of each novel is the common result of the labor of many people, so reading is paid, and the paid money is also earned by the reader or legally owned, in essence, this is a process of commodity buying and selling and exchanging the fruits of labor. The process is no different from buying something in a store.

Pirated texts undermine this process.

Internet authors sit in front of the computer every day and work hard for seven or eight hours or even more than ten hours, exchanging a few cents with you, you don't pay, you don't fulfill the commodity exchange relationship, and you enjoy the fruits of the authors' labor without the author's consent, this is theft.

Tens of millions are thieves, one cent and two cents are thefts, and a few cents are also thefts.

Some people may be aggrieved and say, how can I be a thief, and if I want to pirate, someone else will pirate, I just want to see.

This sentence is like what is it, it is like a family has some goods in the yard, and those goods can only be bought with money, and one day, someone uses a bulldozer to push the wall of the family's yard, so that the goods in the family's yard are exposed to broad daylight, without any protection, and then the person driving the bulldozer says to the onlookers, go, you can take out the things that are piled up in the yard, and it belongs to you, no one cares, you can do whatever you want, and no one knows. So the onlookers went into the courtyard and took away the things in the courtyard with peace of mind.

The convenience of the dissemination of network technology is the bulldozer, the goods in the yard are the novels chapter by chapter, the result of the joint labor and packaging of the author and the website platform, and the people who go into the yard to take the goods are the readers who watch the pirated copy.

Bodhisattvas fear causes, sentient beings fear results!

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

What is the cause and effect of theft - poverty and misery!

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

There is nothing more stupid than this.

Is it because the readers who read pirated editions are poor and lack the few cents that they spend on each chapter of the genuine novel?

Of course not!

Tiger believes that many readers who watch pirated copies watch pirated copies more out of reading habits, rather than being stingy or unable to come up with a few cents.

Everyone is used to reading on certain websites because they find it convenient to watch pirated copies, or they don't know how to read genuine copies. The pirated editions that I just went to see, just like those book friends and readers in the post bar of "Black Iron Castle", although they read pirated copies, there are also many readers who often join together to reward Tiger's novels, and many people reward money from dozens to hundreds or hundreds each time. This money is enough for them to read the genuine version.

And it is precisely because of this that in this process, such a worrying scene will occur -- in the process of watching pirated copies, many readers who watch pirated copies, do not even know that their actions are "stealing" and that they are planting bad karma for themselves. It may cost them a thousand times more to pay it back.

The eighth of the Ten Commandments in the Bible is "Do not steal."

The Buddha even expounded the cause and effect of "stealing" vividly in the "Dizang Sutra" and "Ten Good Karma Sutras" and other scriptures, telling sentient beings that stealing will not bring wealth and convenience to themselves, but will bring poverty and hardship.

It is not without reason that all the sects of the world, all the wise men, regard theft as a very serious crime.

All those who do not believe in this cause and effect. You can observe the life trajectory of those who have been convicted of theft around you for a lifetime, and see whether they are poor or rich.

There are such people around the tiger. And they, without exception, live in great poverty, these people, even if they don't steal anymore now, but because of the theft they committed before, their lives. Especially in terms of financial luck, it is very unsmooth, full of ups and downs, and they are doing very hard work one by one, but the pay is very low. And it's hard to get the approval of others.

-- Tiger, you are talking nonsense, I have a friend who also reads pirated novels a lot, and has been reading them for a few years, but a few days ago he won 5,000 yuan when he bought a lottery ticket!

――Yes, I also watch piracy, but my current job is good......

Some readers may ask Tiger that, but what Tiger wants to tell these readers is that if that person doesn't watch piracy, maybe he has more than a few thousand dollars in the lottery ticket, and if that person doesn't look at piracy, or he has a better job right now.

Watching piracy is like eating poison, you read a few chapters of piracy every day, steal a few cents a day, and in a short period of time, this does not seem to have any impact on your life and fortune, that is because the dose of poison you eat in your stomach is still very low, even if there is an effect, you can't feel it, you feel that everything is normal, and once you accumulate over time, from a few cents to hundreds, thousands, thousands, look at the harm caused by piracy and the severe consequences of poverty, there will be a release process from quantitative change to qualitative change. It manifests itself in your life and career, and allows you to pay back a hundredfold and a thousandfold, and no one is exempt.

――I really don't have any money now, I only have enough money to live on my own every month, but I like to read novels, so the cost of reading 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 advice is, if you are still a student, then put down the novel, study hard, exercise your skills, if you don't have a job yet, then hurry up to find a job, face your own problems, you can take fiction as a hobby, but don't use fiction as a tool to escape the world, let alone indulge in the world of fiction and ignore the problems in reality, in any case, don't watch piracy anymore, don't destroy your own financial luck, and let yourself fall into a vicious circle.

In the novel, one of the plots that everyone can see is that the white-bearded old man who is full of wisdom or the protagonist of the novel realizes the power of the law at some point and makes himself very awesome.

In fact, in reality, there is such wisdom, all wisdom is present, fresh, closely related to our lives, everyone can master and use, do not look at piracy, stay away from all the crimes of piracy, is the closest wisdom and law to each of our readers.

Rich people are making rich, poor people are creating poverty, what you make, you are 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 see this can have a happy and rich life.

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

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

The right way, the right knowledge, the right action, the right view, the right version, the positive energy, how can a person not be happy, not sunny, not rich?

You tell me......
