“Yes, Evelyn.”

In Black Box Bar

A woman stood outside a booth and said to a man in a pissed-off tone,

“The author was telling the truth. You have blatantly plagiarized her work. You have violated the author's copyright. Do you understand? If you don't, you can come to me anytime. I'm a student at the Law School of Alorith University. I'm very busy today. Otherwise, I would have definitely taken the time to teach you what intellectual property right is!"

As he passed by the angry woman, Joshua's interest was piqued and he stared at her with a raised eyebrow. It was the first time he had ever seen a person use a bar as a negotiation venue

The place was noisy, but the woman's voice was loud enough for people to hear. The man she was yelling at felt embarrassed. He was angry and ashamed.

"You are just a student who hasn't even graduated yet. Mind your own business!"

Terilynn wanted to punch him.

“So what? I just won the first prize for the Talent Cup National Judgment Paperwork Competition. You think I can't tell an original from a plagiarized version? You have absolutely no respect for the author's hard work. What are you still arguing about? You have infringed on someone else's IPR! It's a crime. If you don't know what that means, you can google it!"

“What do you know about it? How dare you claim that I copied her work?

ALL I did was put some screenshots of her book on my platform so that more people can see them. I was just doing some publicity for her. What crime did I commit? Didn't she write the book for everyone to read? If you ask me, you are the fake one here!" The man's words infuriated

Terilynn.

Terilynn shoved the dumbfounded female author sitting opposite the man and said, "Scoot over. I need to sit down and make this clear for him today!"

In a hurry, the author made room for her. Sitting down next to the woman, Terilynn told the man, “Intellectual property rights were issued in order to protect the copyrights of authors of literary, artistic and scientific works, as well as the rights and interests related to their copyrights. Without the consent of the owner, whoever copies their works, including their words, music, movies, television and other works, shall be detained or imprisoned. Under severe circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to up to three years of imprisonment.

Besides that, copyright includes the author's right to release their works. Do you understand what I am saying?"

Ignoring the guilty look on the man's face, Terilynn turned to the author.

"He has made a mistake, but doesn't even regret it. You should ask the legal department of your company to send him a warning letter

If he still doesn't take it seriously, you should just go ahead and sue him."

The author nodded awkwardly.

“I see, okay."

At this moment, Terilynn's phone rang. Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her mood and took out her phone. Seeing the caller ID, she immediately stood up to answer the call. Before leaving, she told the author, “Just do as I said. You have to protect your rights and interests."

"I will, thank you very much!"

Terilynn walked out of the booth and answered the phone call. Her tone was nothing like it was a moment ago.

“Hi, Tayson. Ah, I'm already here. I'm on the first floor. I'll be right there!"

After hanging up, she rushed to the second floor of the bar
