웹 2.0과 콘텐츠이용의 활성화

Abstract

Technologies under Web 2.0 make possible and actually encourage internet users to upload their own words, pictures, voices, and other works of their own. Web 2.0 technologies, together with other digital technologies, surely contribute to the progress of art and science by expanding and increasing the quantity of information and knowledge over the internet if, and only if, internet users' contribution is made in such a way not to discourage creation in the long run. It is possible that internet users do not know whether their activities actually infringes upon others' copyright or not. Sometimes it is true to say that even lawyers do not know exactly how far copyright extends or to what extent internet users are allowed to take advantage of existing materials. Since there have been strengthened and increased the scope of copyright in the late 1990's, it seems fair to think of appropriate scope of fair use as well. It is also important to lower the uncertainty relating to the scope of copyright and fair use. Thus, both internet users, internet service providers and copyright owners like music industry and film industry will be better off with more clear guidelines on fair use.. This paper tried and suggested a more desirable proposals for revising the moral right system in the digital age, more realistic approach to distinction between broadcasting and telecommunication, introduction of fair use provision, and more productive approach to internet service providers' liability.
