孔夫子舊書網賣博士學位論文 涉清華北大等多家高校

According to a report from news portal thepaper.cn, there are some 4,000 items tagged as "doctoral dissertations" for sale on kongfz.com, which come from dozens of elite Chinese universities including Tsinghua University, Peking University and Fudan University.

據新聞門戶網站《澎湃新聞》報道，孔夫子舊書網上出售的博士論文多達4000多篇，這些論文的作者大多來自清華大學、北京大學、復旦大學等我國10多所知名院校。

The dissertations are priced from 5 - 1,000 yuan by different sellers on the website.

網站上不同賣家出售的論文價格為5-1000元不等。

"The website removed some works in October 2016 after our complaints. But now they are selling them again," Zhang Ming (pseudonym), who has a doctorate from Tsinghua University, was quoted by thepaper.cn as saying last Wednesday.

上周三，清華大學博士畢業(yè)生張明(化名)向《澎湃新聞》透露：“2016年10月份受到投訴之后，該網站下架了部分論文，但現在他們又開始賣了。”

Many of the graduates, who said their dissertations are being sold without consent, added that the website is infringing their intellectual property rights and causing psychological and economic damages, said the thepaper.cn report.

據《澎湃新聞》報道，論文作者稱，網站未經他們的同意就進行售賣，這侵犯了他們的知識產權，給他們造成了心理創(chuàng)傷和經濟損失。

"We don't want our dissertations to be spread widely before our original points of view are published in academic journals or books, as there's no way to guarantee other people will not copy these ideas," Zhang added.

張明表示：“在原創(chuàng)觀點于學術期刊發(fā)表或以專著形式出版之前，我們不愿意讓自己的論文大范圍傳播，那樣可能導致他人的抄襲。”

"When the author hands in the dissertation to university faculties for reviews, or the graduate donates the copies to the libraries or gifts these copies to friends, the writers have already executed their publication rights", Yao Huanqing, a professor from the Law School of the Renmin University of China, told the Global Times.

來自中國人民大學法學院的姚歡慶教授在接受《環(huán)球時報》采訪時表示：“在將論文交給學校評審或捐贈給圖書館、或送給朋友時，作者就已經在行使他們的出版權了。”

"If the sellers on the kongfz.com got these copies from the above mentioned sources, then the copies cannot be considered as pirated."

“如果孔夫子舊書網通過上述途徑得到了論文，那么這些論文就不為作者個人所有了。”

Unless the authors can prove that these copies are pirated, they cannot demand the shop owners to stop selling the copies, and the sellers could set the price according to their discretion, Yao said, adding that the owners do not have a duty to explain how they got these copies either.

姚歡慶教授稱，除非作者可以證明論文是其個人所有，否則他們無權要求網站店主下架論文，店主就有權對論文進行定價，也無需解釋他們是如何獲得這些論文的。
