Part one: Turnitin and the perils of entering the evil house of cheat at cheathouse.com

Abstract

Plagiarism is one of the most serious offences in the academic world. It has occurred as long as there have been teachers and students, but the recent growth of the Internet has made the problem much worse. Recent studies indicate that approximately 30% of all students may be plagiarising on every written assignment they complete. The “information technology revolution” is almost always presented as having cataclysmic consequences for education. In post‐secondary circles, perhaps the most commonly apprehended cataclysm is “Internet plagiarism”. Academics at all British universities and colleges can now test students’ work for cheating using the anti‐plagiarism program Turnitin. The program, run by the Joint Information Systems Committee and thought to be the first national system of its kind, offers free advice and a plagiarism detection service to all further education institutions in the UK. This article will try to: first, define exactly what plagiarism is; second, give examples and reports on samples of the new plagiarism detection software; and finally suggest strategies that lecturers can use before turning to the new software.     

从MP3．com到Grokster——析网络服务商版权侵权责任的发展

网络服务商(ISP)是网上信息传输的中介,但由于网络版权侵权的广泛性和侵权者的隐蔽性,ISP被拉入了网络版权侵权纠纷的漩涡中。本文分析了美国从MP3．com案到Napster案再到Grokster案中对ISP责任认定的发展:即从直接侵权责任到间接侵权责任再到积极诱导标准的发展。从中我们也可以看出一条科技发展与版权法律保护的博弈之路。文章最后分析了我国立法与司法实践中对ISP责任认定的现状。     

"垂直搜索"的著作权侵权问题研究——谦评"大众点评网诉爱帮网案"及"携程网诉趣拿网案"

“垂直搜索”将从互联网网页中提取的信息内容存储在自身服务器中向公众提供，引发了著作权侵权问题。在“大众点评网诉爱帮网案”及“携程网诉趣拿网案”两案中，被“垂直搜索”引擎所提取的信息均为用户上传的点评。许多点评未达到“独创性”的要求，因此不构成作品。同时点评的集合也未在选择或编排方面体现出“独创性”。但在被提取的信息构成作品的情况下，“垂直搜索”直接复制并向公众提供信息的实质内容．将替代用户对来源网站的访问。这种行为无法被认定为合理使用．而是对来源网站作品著作权的侵权。“垂直搜索”服务提供者应合理地设计其商业模式，限制搜索结果中显示的作品长度，以避免代替用户对来源网站中作品的访问。
