Greater Section from the Temple of Temple | Public Account QBITAI

Two days, the number of documents from the database is as high as 2578 ...

A "God" operation of a doctoral student in Beijing universities directly allowed the school's IP to be banned by data merchants.

He himself was criticized by the entire school.

At the same time, this matter has quickly become a hot topic on platforms such as Zhihu and Weibo.

What happened?

The school student is not normal to download the literature, causing the school IP to be banned

This happened at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

Not long ago, the school suddenly received a report from a data provider, saying that "your school's IP has been permanently banned."

It turned out that some people downloaded the document of this data provider in the campus network.

What is the "non -normal" method?

According to the data provided by this data provider, some people spent 137 minutes of the day download 842 documents, and the same time was used to download 1736 documents the next day.

It is nearly 2600 articles in less than 5 hours.

The more detail is to download nearly 10 articles per minute, 1 in 6 seconds.

From the perspective of data vendors, this speed was obviously abnormal, and it immediately gave the school a ban.

At the school, after investigation by the school network center and the library, it was true that such a classmate had done the matter: a doctoral student from the 2018 level of law school.

At the same time, the school library's "Intellectual Property Rights and Management Rules of Electronic Resources" also stipulates:

You must not use software tools to download electronic resources in batches, or download electronic resources continuously, concentrated, and batches at non -normal reading speed, or download electronic journals.

The school believes that the student did violate the regulations, and the ban caused by this behavior also seriously affected the school's normal learning and scientific order, and caused losses to the school's reputation.

Therefore, the students were made to this two items:

(1) Order the student to submit a written statement and review to the library to ensure that it will not be committed;

(2) Report criticism in the entire school.

It is reported that the data provider involved in this incident is the global legal database Westlaw Classic. It is a comprehensive law, regulations, news and company information platform developed by the US West Publishing Company under the Townson Reuters Group.

Is Westlaw Classic really permanently banned the school?

It is reported that the library is continuously communicating with Westlaw Classic.

Is this reasonable?

After the incident was exposed, it quickly caused a large wave of discussions on the Internet.

First of all, although the school did not explicitly explain how the classmates did, netizens analyzed that this speed must be used to do it.

Secondly, many people said that the student should really be punished.

Just as I know what the master@cherish the current saying, the normal number of normal channels is no problem. There are more than 2,000 articles in two days. It is an interested behavior. Perhaps the purpose is not simple.

Furthermore, many schools have corresponding clear orders, but some students have not noticed or took care of them.

He said that downloading literature in places such as colleges or public libraries still must abide by relevant regulations to avoid malicious behaviors.

However, some people have questioned whether data providers also have responsibility:

Since there are such requirements, why not limit the number of single downloads in a short time in a short time?

In the meaning of words, why do you have to wait for the user to overspend it directly?

At the same time, there are still people who have aimed at the publishers behind them, and they have been criticized for academic publishers who have been criticized. They point out that although there is an agreement on downloading the matter, it is unreasonable.

As I know that the Lord@说 就 said, students and scientific researchers should not have the right to dispose of themselves as they are now. Data dealers are now monopolized, and the country should break this monopoly.

Do not make a situation that only data vendors make money.

One more thing

In fact, a few years ago, similar things had happened to Peking University.

At that time, the school was also warned by the Westlaw database dealer, saying that the IP address of Beida has continuously downloaded the 2050 documents of the Westlaw database in a very short period of time, forming an excessive download.

After investigation, the behavior was a master's degree in 2015 at the School of Software and Microelectronics.

In the end, the classmate deleted the over downloaded literature and wrote a written apology letter.
