Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 328 Segmentation
Listening to Utsunomiya's rebuttal, Kitahara began to walk around the court, "The defendant's attorney's view on the division of paragraphs is not correct. The purpose of dividing paragraphs is to make the article clear and easy to read. Among them, according to the logic of the article by the proofreader , Emotional understanding is different, and there will be different ways of dividing paragraphs."

"The example given by the defendant of the subsection questions in Chinese in the Dongyang college entrance examination is not correct. The subsection questions in Chinese in the college entrance examination often have preconditions. For example, in a piece of classical Chinese that introduces ancient crafts, the topic often says ' Please segment according to the different stages of craft development'. Or in a biography of a character, the title will say 'Please segment according to the place where the character lived.'”

"The setting of these questions just shows that the division of paragraphs in ancient prose is based on a certain logical premise. Without the corresponding division angle, it is impossible to divide. It just shows that in fact, there is no standard answer for division of paragraphs."

While walking, Beiyuan pressed the remote control in his hand.

But the projection screen flickered, and two comparison pictures appeared again.I saw that this time, the excerpt was one of the ancient texts in Ji Tang Ji.However, what was compared just now was Fujimura's school copy, but this time the target of the comparison is someone else.

Beiyuan looked at the whiteboard, smiled, and continued: "After the plaintiff Xiachuan discovered the ancient copy of "A Tour of Eastern Lands and Repatriation to the Tang Dynasty", in fact, many people in Dongyang also started to check and proofread it. Now the plaintiff's agent shows The proofreading comparison version is the proofreading draft of the Kyushu City Hall Culture Group Editorial Committee. The proofreading project was launched five months ago and is of a public welfare nature, and the proofreading draft will be released on the Internet as it progresses.”

"The one on the left is Kyushu's proofreading manuscript, while the right one is Xiachuan's proofreading manuscript. The text for comparison is the ninth chapter of Chapter 1 of Tang Ji."

"The content of the ninth chapter of Tang Ji is Guan Gu's autobiography. Because Guan Gu has lived in the East for a long time, he has gradually developed a feeling of homesickness. He hopes to return to Dongyang to see his hometown, so he wrote this autobiography. It describes his life experience before he came to Dongtu. Guan Gu was born in Kyushu Island in the East. He was conscripted into the army because of his good archery, and was later promoted to the guard of the palace. Because he can read Chinese characters, he was rarely transferred from a military officer to a civil official. Finally, he was sent to the east as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty."

"In addition to reviewing his official career experience, Guan Gu also emphasized his emotional experience in his self-report. He once married a woman in Kyushu. He joined the army and joined the guard. His original partner was waiting for him on Kyushu Island, but unfortunately died of illness. At that time, the daughter of the director of Yale in the Oriental court liked Guan Gu. But Guan Gu did not respond because of the pain of losing his wife. The daughter of the director of Yale did not marry because of him. The two did not get married until eight years later. However, less than a year after Fang got married, Guan Gu was dispatched to dispatch Tang."

Beiyuan looked at the ninth chapter of Tang Ji in front of him, "You can see a completely different division logic from this autobiography. The one on the left is the Kyushu proofreading. It divides this autobiography into 9 sections, according to Guan Gu The different official experience of Guan Gu is divided. The one on the right is Xiachuan’s proofreading. It divides the autobiography into 4 sections, which are divided according to Guangu’s marriage experience. Kyushu’s proofreading is divided into sections based on traditional biographies, while Shimogawa is based on the end of the article, after Guangu expressed his longing for his original partner and his wife with a lot of ink, he decided to divide the paragraphs based on their marriage experience."

"Judging from the comparison of drafts from Kyushu and Xiachuan, there are many ways to divide paragraphs."

"However!" Kitahara raised his voice sharply, "It's also Chapter [-], and Fujimura's paragraphs are exactly the same as Shimogawa's, which proves once again that the defendant has brazenly copied the plaintiff in dividing the paragraphs! "

On the projected whiteboard, the comparison results of the Kyushu school version and the Xiachuan school version are displayed.The result is that more than 86% of the articles have different subsections.However, in the comparison between Shimokawa and Fujimura, this data is almost completely reversed—more than 90% of the articles have the same paragraphs.

Utsunomiya frowned, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.He had really felt the pressure transmitted from this young lawyer.Since entering the proof stage, one after another sharp angles of evidence have been thrown before the court.For some moments, he even had the illusion that he was Fujimura at the moment, standing here with trepidation.

Utsunomiya calmed down his emotions, stood up again immediately, and walked on the court, refuting: "The plaintiff's attorney just made such a long speech, but he avoided a fundamental problem. That is, the division of paragraphs itself can become the protection of copyright law." Is it the object? It’s just a rearrangement of the text, does it constitute so-called plagiarism?”

Utsunomiya looked at the listeners in the court, "If at this moment, I hold a handful of sand in my hand. I will sprinkle it on the ground. Another person also holds sand, imitating me, and sprinkles the sand out." The same trajectory. May I ask, can we explain that someone else copied me?"

"Obviously, the answer is, of course, no."

"The act of throwing sand on the ground, even if I imitate him, does not constitute plagiarism. In fact, there is a lot of imitation in our lives. Maybe one company manages its employees so successfully that there are several other companies. To imitate this kind of management method. Then the copying of this kind of management system, would it be plagiarism? Another example, a person has a unique know-how in learning foreign languages. Others discovered this trick by reading his notes, and followed suit. Learning. May I ask if imitation of this learning method will become plagiarism?!"

"For another example, a housewife has a clever way of keeping accounts and can keep her family's expenses in order. Other neighbors have also imitated it. Does this constitute plagiarism?"

"The reason why the defendant's attorney cited so many examples is to clarify a fact - simply dividing paragraphs will never constitute so-called plagiarism."

"What's more, judging from the time of publication, Fujimura's proofreading work was published before the plaintiff's proofreading. Who can determine whether Shimogawa is copying the defendant Fujimura's division method."

Utsunomiya walked directly in front of Kitahara, staring at him viciously with his eyes as if spewing out flames: "The plaintiff repeats the point of view that 'subsections constitute plagiarism' over and over again, it is simply a waste of court time. The court should stop him from repeating such speeches!"

Bei Yuan looked at the famous professor of law in front of him, and said with a slight smile: "That is to say, the defendant's attorney has at least admitted the sameness, but believes that the sameness does not constitute plagiarism. Is it?"
