디지털음성송신의 적격요건과 규정의 해석

Abstract

Webcasting is a new concept introduced by our copyright law in order to regulate services in the form of intermediate utility between broadcasting and transmission according to the development of digital technology and network environment. There is a legislative critique of the introduction of the webcasting concept, but once it has been introduced, it is necessary to make a realistic interpretation according to the current situation. In the meantime, the music industry seems to have been worried that the webcasting service could undermine the order of the field. As a result, there have been cases in which various useful functions that webcasting can provide are limited by the guidelines or eligibility requirements. In this paper, I propose that webcasting will pave the way for the whole pie of the music industry by exploiting new markets rather than undermining existing markets. It is argued that the right direction is to increase the utility of users by encouraging various functions that webcasting can provide through realistic and market-friendly methods such as usage fee differentials.
