Over the years, Xiao Li has published a large number of original emotional articles on the Internet under the pseudonym of "White Cloud and Flowing Water", and the name of "White Cloud and Flowing Water" has gradually become well-known. Xiao Wang saw that the work signed "White Cloud and Flowing Water" was very popular with readers, so he wrote a novel with this name to attract traffic. After learning this, Xiao Li contacted Xiao Wang and asked him to change his pseudonym and compensate for the loss on the grounds of using his pseudonym. Is Xiao Wang's behavior against the law? It is illegal to say by case. Article 1017 of the Civil Code stipulates that the pseudonyms, stage names, net names, translated names, shop names, names and their abbreviations, which have a certain social reputation and are used by others enough to cause confusion among the public, shall refer to the relevant provisions on the protection of the right of name and the right of name.
