Radio Free Asia spoke to Zheng Jinjin, one of the Taiwan scholars who was injured, who said she was also surprised that the title had been changed when the paper was put on the mainland platform.

Taiwan’s apple daily 16 published review “red” exclusive series report, entitled “one hundred and sixty thousand papers were ‘sent in national Taiwan university graduates were doctored’ American ‘” news, access to finance, national Taiwan university to general students, his paper” determinants of China’s stock price manipulation “, was published in the Chinese education publications import & export co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Chinese teaching”) “Taiwan academic literature database”, the title changed to the determinants of Taiwan’s share price manipulation case.

Search “June 4” directly cut off the network

According to The Apple Daily, the “Taiwan Academic Literature Database”, a Chinese teaching map, contains more than 160,000 dissertations on Taiwan, from titles to abstracts, in which references to “China” are changed to “Taiwan”. Another 660,000 journal articles were included in the database. In some of the papers, the name of Taiwan’s “National Nanometer-laboratory” was changed to “Taiwan Nanometer-Laboratory”, the word “national” was deleted, and the word “national” was deleted. Search “our country” ran out of tens of thousands of “Taiwan” papers. And the search for China’s most sensitive “June 4”, directly cut off the Internet.

In response to a suspected infringement case of a NTU student’s thesis, The University said that nTU graduates should submit the “NTU master’s thesis authorization form” when submitting their thesis. Students may choose to authorize or not to authorize their papers to be included in the NTU database for network transmission.

University professors were also uninformed

Radio free Asia interview to suffer one of scholars, chung cheng university school of law professor zheng with, she is in Taiwan’s largest academic database providers, hua yi digital co., LTD. Open the web site published in the “online library airitilibrary hua yi” is the original paper topics “from U.S. labor dispatch legal system in our country labor dispatch law draft”, but in China teach figure database with the article, has been changed to “labor dispatch legal system from the United States to see Taiwan labor to send the draft of the law”.

Zheng jinjin said she was not aware of the fact that her article, which was published in the Zhongzheng Legal Journal in 2003, had been retitled on the mainland.

“It would be understandable if the purpose of Taiwan’s online database of Academic journals was to avoid mainland readers mistaking the word ‘China’ in the title of my paper for a discussion of the draft labor dispatch law on the mainland,” Zheng said. However, out of respect for the author, it may be more appropriate to inform the author in advance and to revise the title with his or her consent.”

Wade review? Tampering? Mainland platforms have different internal diameters

Radio Free Asia asked the Beijing headquarters of China Education Books Import and Export Co., LTD. About the difference between the words used in the articles on China Education Books and Huayi websites.

RFA: Do you use all the content provided by Huayi directly?

Chinese cartoonist: “Yes! He should entrust us to sell his things, and then we sell them to those who need to buy them in China. Basically, they are all institutions. The database is relatively expensive, so we will not edit or change any of your products internally.”

RFA: Are there any uses in the article that don’t need to be reviewed first?

Chinese cartographer: “I don’t know. You talk about it. You may be asking about ideology, right?”

The operator said that Tutu cooperates with the world in different language groups, huayi is the supplier of tutu products, and there is no intermediary editing of Tutu.

The operator asked the station to call the business department to find out. “We will review the content, and any country will review the content, which belongs to the normal import category,” said the staff of The China Education and Graphics Business department.

Taiwan lawyer: intellectual property infringement problem on both sides of the Taiwan Straits is very difficult to recover

Taiwan TongWenXun ipr lawyer told radio free Asia, said the general scholars, students, experts study master’s thesis put in storage, are “non exclusive license”, such as student authorization to national Taiwan university, the university such as database, and the university can not pass, the authors agree to do business purposes to sub-license, can not be heavy, duplication, and sales profit.

Tong wenxun pointed out that in accordance with article 10, paragraph 4 of the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China, “the right to protect the integrity of works, namely the right to protect works from distortion and tampering”, which is equivalent to the “right to maintain identity” of the Copyright law in Taiwan. Article 29 of the same Law stipulates that “publishers, performers, producers of sound recordings and video recordings, radio stations and television stations who, in accordance with the relevant provisions of this Law, use the works of others shall not infringe upon the rights of authorship, alteration, integrity and remuneration of authors.”

TongWenXun analysis, Taiwan scholars, students, or can be in accordance with the copyright law of China, and the people on both sides of the Taiwan relations act to claim, but the other party may claim of China’s state council in 2001 promulgated the “regulations on the administration of publication”, published in newspapers, periodicals, books and electronic publications to make a specification, which expressly prescribed by article 25, shall not contain any publications “endangering national unity, sovereignty and territorial integrity” of the content.

“If writers from Taiwan want to go to China to claim this right, first of all, they are often pirated and you can’t find anyone to Sue,” tong said. What’s more, he can take the Publication management regulations promulgated by The State Council of China in 2001 as a shield and say, “I can change whatever I like. It’s hard to be reasonable.” But for this Huayi company in Taiwan, if you are not authorized to sell their information? To tamper with it? There are two main responsibilities. Can you prove that? Is this something to do with Huayi? I think we’ll have to look at the facts.”

Huayi has been authorized by several universities in Taiwan

Radio Free Asia also checked with a number of Universities in Taiwan. Politico said its academic papers had only been authorized for use by Huayi in Taiwan and that it had not received any complaints that the papers had been doctored in The mainland. Tsinghua University said it had immediately consulted legal advisers and consulted the platform for details, and would assist in dealing with any infringement of rights.

Yang Changchun, vice president of Huayi, told RADIO Free Asia, “The archives of his academic articles are all scanned pictures. We don’t, don’t want to or can’t change any of the author’s articles. The point is, have we changed one word of each article the author wrote? No! However, he wrote a title, a brief summary, and convenient keywords. However, he could not change the whole text as most of the information was academic research, so he tried his best to avoid violating mainland laws. For example, if we had ‘Republic of China’ in our abstract, he might have changed it to ‘Taiwan’. We didn’t dwarf it, nor did we. When you ask that, of course they deny, their censorship is basically a denial.”

Huayi: Huayi gave the full text of the mainland platform to the mainland Internet providers to change the standard and change the summary text has not changed

‘It is completely legal for students to authorize the school and for the school to delegate the authorization to Huayi,’ Mr. Yang said. “The authors give the school the school to give us rights are remakes power with public network transmission power, and the two rights license, so after school authorized to us, we have students remakes power with public transmission power, so he is authorized to although the school is exclusive, school authorization we are exclusive, so the exclusive license to license, transfer authorization is one of the rights of copyright.”

Yang changchun believes that the mainland Internet companies avoid violating the Anti-Secession Law and other laws by modifying the text of titles and abstracts in the search system. In other words, they also prevent Taiwan papers from being blocked and can be read and quoted in the mainland.

The Mainland Affairs Council is protesting against the infringement of intellectual property rights in Taiwan

The Ministry of Education (MOE) said it has arranged discussions with school representatives and academics to discuss the reasonability of the terms of the school’s authorization to cooperate with other commercial paper databases in order to protect students’ rights and interests.

Supervisor on both sides of the Taiwan affairs committee, said the mainland Lu Fang unauthorized tampering Taiwan academic papers, is its political hands into poor academic research in the field of political operation, this kind of the ostrich ostrich mentality and practice, will only cause the Taiwanese people, especially young students, will also be international who brings a smile, couldn’t change the fact that the republic of China is a sovereign independent state. The Mainland Affairs Council expresses its solemn protest against this infringement on the legitimate right of the Taiwan people to publish works. Such disrespect for academic research results and intellectual property will only lead to further development of cross-Straits relations.
