After HowNet was reported by Professor Zhao Dexin, HowNet uploaded all the articles of Professor Zhao Dexin on its platform. These things have aroused great social repercussions, and many media are reporting and tracking this matter. People's Daily also commented on HowNet's withdrawal of the paper by the author of rights protection. People's Daily believes that HowNet's practice is to bully ordinary HowNet users with its huge scale, which is too overbearing and suspected of violating laws and regulations. The People's Daily pointed out that what HowNet should do at this stage is to show sincerity, accept everyone's criticism with an open mind and correct it in time.
Wang Zhi contains many people's documents.
Since the Zhai Tianlin incident, many colleges and universities have raised their requirements for graduation thesis. When students write their graduation thesis, one platform they must use is HowNet. Students not only need to look for references related to their own topics on HowNet, but many colleges and universities have signed agreements with HowNet, and students' graduation papers will be included in the platform of HowNet. However, there are not only students' graduation theses on Zhiwang. As long as it is a journal that has signed an agreement with HowNet, the papers published in the journal will be authorized to HowNet. Hundreds of papers by Professor Zhao Dexin from Zhongnan University of Finance and Economics have also been included in HowNet.
Authors' papers on rights protection under HowNet.
When Professor Zhao Dexin used HowNet, he found that if Professor Zhao Dexin wanted to download Professor Zhao Dexin's papers collected on HowNet, he had to pay. This behavior of HowNet obviously infringes on the rights and interests of Professor Zhao Dexin. Moreover, Professor Zhao Dexin did not authorize HowNet, and the behavior of HowNet was illegally reproduced. So Zhao Dexin took HowNet to court. After the court ruled that Zhao Dexin won the case, HowNet needed to compensate Zhao Dexin. However, after losing the case, HowNet put all the papers of Professor Zhao Dexin on its own platform. HowNet's behavior is completely impulsive, which shows that HowNet has no sense of responsibility as a platform for literature resources.
