Since the day was the night before the three-day break of Japan’s three-day holiday, I suddenly revisited the old story and slammed the incident half a month ago. The members of the production committee were caught off guard and could not respond in time. This allegation is fermented on the web. .

The issue of copyright ownership and reward payment in the work of the work also led to a lively discussion by the creators. .

The cartoonist and illustrator Duzuhiko said that when the creator just entered the business, it seems to tend to despise the rights relationship because of his passion for creation. Just like the director of Spielberg, who made the best-selling movie “Great White Shark”, he barely got paid. The singer of the famous Japanese children’s theme song “およげ!たいやきくん” did not get the singing royalty. A typical case of a class. .

For example, when a company publishes a comic book of its own goods, as long as the person who draws the picture is painted as a company employee during working hours, it is sufficient to pay the cartoonist only for the prescribed salary. The comic book version of the game “The Lost City” created by the game company Falcom employees was published in this form, so they all had no rights to the cartoon and did not receive a royalty of 1 yen. .

Tuzhu said that it is more difficult for the creator to initiate the issue of the relationship of rights. He hopes that the party entrusting the work can be more sincere and think about the system that can make it easier to cultivate the creator, for example, what works for the works that make the works sell well. Additional compensation and the like. .

The story behind the comic version of this section of “The Lost City” has made many readers surprised and indignant. He later explained that he did not want to expose the situation behind the scenes and alarm fans. But he has always been concerned about this matter, I hope everyone knows the truth. Because he does not have the copyright of the comic version of “The Lost City”, he can’t respond to fans’ expectations and create comics. He also apologized to the fans here. .

This event has made the discussion hotter. Some netizens who are not familiar with the copyright law believe that since they all build the company’s salary and work for the company, the right to draw the works belongs to the company, is it not taken for granted? .

Illustrator Tiantong denied this misunderstanding. He said that in fact, even the illustrator entrusted with creation, the copyright still basically belongs to the author. Although many people have misunderstood, it does not mean that you can freely use this painting as long as you save money for others to paint. When you use the paintings in addition to the originally decided use, you will have to pay a separate fee. It is best to remember this. .

The creators of all walks of life have also said that in their own field, no matter what form of creation, copyright automatically belongs to the author from the beginning – at least in theory. .

And in practice, every time you use it, you have to apply for permission from the author, and spend both energy and money. Therefore, many companies will require the author to transfer the copyright to the client in the contract, which is the so-called “buy right”. .

Copyright consultant Masaki Endo will remind creators are not familiar with the law: According to the contract and other conditions, rights may be transferred to one of the principal (or is deemed to have been transferred to the client). Therefore, it is very important to review the contract and the negotiation process regarding the commission. .

If the entrusting party wants to buy out the right, then it should pay an extra fee. Young creators and independent creators who lack visibility often agree to transfer rights in order to maintain their livelihood, and even the authorship can be waived. This type of case is especially common when working with small and medium game manufacturers. .

Composer is deeply hated for this. He hopes to buy out this culture as soon as possible. Many people don’t know that even if they buy out their rights, the author still has the right to authorize the personality right, which is absolutely untransferable. The client knows nothing about this and feels that he has bought out, so he can use the work as he pleases; and the original author should also know how to exercise his personality. .

Sometimes, the contract that the client will ask the creator to sign will include the terms “A (creator) does not exercise the right to authorship of B (the work)”. He warned that it is absolutely impossible to sign such a contract. Although the content of such a contract itself is already black in the law, it is necessary to let the client delete this sentence. Don’t listen to words such as “this sentence is just what it does not actually affect.” If both sides are righteous gentlemen with no small abacus in mind, then there is no need to sign a contract. .

たくまる believes that only the creators can unite to eliminate the misconception that “the right to buy out can be done without the author’s permission”. Otherwise, even if the songs made were made a mess later, after the publication, since the name of the composer was written, the composer had to back up. .

And for this composer who mainly provides music to Galgame, there is one of the most hateful meanings of buyout rights: if the manufacturer goes out of business and no one takes over the rights, then the songs written for these manufacturers It became an orphan. There are too many good works, because this “adult thing” can’t come out. .

Composer Shade said that the usual methods of dealing with works in different industries will be very different, so in order to avoid trouble afterwards, it is best to confirm before proceeding. If both parties feel that “this kind of thing will be understood without any reason,” then that is the most dangerous. .
