대학 연극 공연의 교육적 활용을 위한 저작권제도 개선 방안: 공정이용법리의 적용

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to help students major in theatre or in theatre clubs overcome diffi culties posed by copyright issues and engage in creative activities more freely. This research plays an important role in enhancing the quality of university theater education and creating an environment where students can fully develop their artistic capabilities while examining the doctrine of fair use under copyright law. College theater performances are a vital educational activity that fosters students' creative potential and artistic growth. However, the strict application of copyright law can hinder the execution of these performances, limiting students' learning opportunities. Therefore, exploring ways to facilitate the use of copyrighted materials for educational purposes through the fair use provisions of copyright law is crucial. The study addresses copyright issues that may arise in university theater performances. It focuses on the fair use doctrine under the copyright laws of the United States and South Korea, comparing and analyzing the criteria for fair use in both countries. The research aims to identify solutions to the copyright challenges faced by theater students when using scripts, either partially or entirely, for their performances. To achieve this, a literature review will be conducted to examine the concept and reg ulations of fair use in copyright law, and to understand the scope of fair use. Additionally, a com parative analysis of the fair use provisions in U.S. and South Korean copyright laws will be conducted to draw implications and propose institutional improvements for resolving copyright issues in uni versity theater performances. Through a clear interpretation of the fair use doctrine, this study seeks to complement the limitations of abstract legal principles, enabling aspiring artists to predict the ap plication of fair use in their creative endeavors. Ultimately, this research aims to contribute to the activation of college theater performances, which can serve as a foundation for the development of culture and arts.
