名嘴趙君朔在臉書指控旅美教授陳時奮(筆名翁達瑞)的文章涉嫌抄襲,陳時奮因此提出刑事自訴控告趙君朔加重誹謗。
名嘴趙君朔去年2月在臉書連發4篇文章,指稱旅美教授陳時奮(筆名翁達瑞)發表的「用白話解讀川普的關稅戰」文章,是稍微改寫別人的原文文章,批翁是「抄襲被抓包的抄襲專家」,翁達瑞認為趙所言不實,貶損他名譽,提刑事自訴控告趙君涉加重誹謗罪,一審判趙無罪;二審高等法院認為,趙主觀上已盡合理的查證義務,沒有主觀惡意,駁回翁的上訴,趙君朔無罪確定。
翁達瑞指控,趙君朔去年2月17日連續發文,聲稱他學術界的朋友用抄襲軟體比對翁的「用白話解讀川普的關稅戰」一文,認為該文「參考、稍微改寫」4篇別人的原文文章,影射作者(翁)是「抄襲被抓包的抄襲專家」、「被大學用的抄襲軟體抓到和4篇文章高度雷同」,卻未提供比對的證據,只以含糊描述來斷言翁「寫不出那些文字」,並以「抄襲專家」稱呼作者。
翁達瑞主張,他是在美國的資深學者,有教授職務在身,若他的文章確涉抄襲,不但名譽掃地,連教職也會不保,抄襲指控茲事體大,他貼文要求趙立即撤文並道歉,但趙置若罔聞,繼續用來路不明且未必正確的「電腦比對結果」指責他抄襲,嚴重侵害他的名譽,故提自訴控告趙涉加重誹謗罪。
趙答辯,他的文章未提到作者名字,也沒提到翁文的網址,他只是陳述客觀事實,他有將翁的文章傳給助理教授廖柏蒼,拜託他透過大學用的抄襲軟體進行比對,發表前有盡合理查證,沒有侵害名譽。
一審台北地院傳喚廖作證,廖證稱並未使用Turnitin,而是使用生成式AI查證有無抄襲,法官認為這可證明趙的言論內容並不屬實;但法官指出,對趙而言,趙確實有委請廖確認翁的文章是否有抄襲,2人討論時廖並未明確指出使用的軟體名稱,趙依據過往與廖合作的信賴關係,而誤認廖是和過往一樣使用Turnitin,趙的主觀上已盡合理的查證義務,並非明知不實或惡意重大輕率,因此判趙無罪。
二審高院認為一審判決的見解無誤,趙既然於發文前已有合理且充分的查證,只因廖的回覆而導致趙誤信抄襲為真實,主觀上並非明知或有重大輕率的惡意,事前已盡相當程度的查證義務,欠缺誹謗的主觀犯意,仍判趙無罪。不得上訴,全案確定。
