Meta Tower Receives Infringement Notice from China National Knowledge Infrastructure
TapTechNews August 16th news, Meta Tower Company announced through its official public account this morning that it received a 28-page Infringement Notice Letter from China Academic Journals (CD-ROM) Electronic Magazine Co., Ltd. (TapTechNews note: that is, China National Knowledge Infrastructure) yesterday (15th).
Our company found that your company provides our academic literature bibliographic entries and abstract data to users through Meta Tower AI Search and Meta Tower AI Search App, and the quantity is huge. This behavior seriously violates our legitimate rights and interests without our permission.
At the same time, we do not want our website, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, to be searched by Meta Tower Technology. Please immediately disconnect the link of the search results to our website. If you need business cooperation, please contact our company.
Meta Tower responded to this matter, stating that according to academic norms, the abstract and bibliographic entries of literature should have independence and self-clarity, enabling readers to obtain necessary information without reading the full text. The academic section of Meta Tower AI Search only collects the abstract and bibliographic entries of papers, and does not collect the article content itself. Reading the full text requires jumping to the website through the source link.
The company said that the Budapest Open Access Initiative jointly promoted by the international academic, publishing, and library and information communities in recent years is continuously promoting the free reading, downloading, copying, dissemination, printing, and retrieval of academic literature. Without search, there is no research. 'Knowledge discovery' is the first step in the knowledge dissemination chain.
Meta Tower announced that it will no longer collect the bibliographic entries and abstract data of China National Knowledge Infrastructure literature from now on, and instead collect the bibliographic entries and abstract data of other authoritative Chinese and English knowledge bases.
