Students of China Academy of Social Sciences downloaded 2578 files, and the IP of the school was permanently banned by the database manufacturer. In fact, students do not need to bear corresponding legal responsibilities. After all, it is reasonable and legal for students to download in a short time, and database vendors have no way to know whether students use these files for illegal and criminal activities.

After HowNet opened its own duplicate checking authority, more and more databases are transparent at present, and people really pay more attention to every move of academic circles. With students from China Academy of Social Sciences downloading 2,578 documents, many people are paying attention to this incident and discussing whether this permanent ban is legal and reasonable. According to the current information, the student's behavior will not violate the relevant laws, but the ban on social science IP may be the result of the agreement.

First, students downloaded 2578 documents, and social science IP was banned by database vendors.

According to the external response of China Academy of Social Sciences University, at present, because a student downloaded 2578 documents, and it only took 1.34 minutes, it was permanently banned by the database manufacturer. According to the inference of the manufacturer, it is possible that the student downloaded a huge amount of documents for sale in a short time, but at present they have no corresponding evidence to prove that the student has been asked by the school to write a review to explain the specific situation after the social science IP was banned, and the student has been criticized.

Second, students don't need to take responsibility: Is it reasonable to download too many documents?

According to the present situation, this student does not need to bear the corresponding responsibility. First of all, this student is a student of China Academy of Social Sciences and is eligible to download documents through campus IP. Even if he downloads a lot of documents in a short time, as long as the publisher can't prove that his behavior is used for profit or other illegal and criminal acts, then the student's own behavior is legal and reasonable. Secondly, there is no evidence that he downloaded too many documents for other activities, which means that downloading too many documents is not the reason why social science IP was banned. It is very likely that the IP of this school was banned because the authorization agreement signed specifically stated.
