Abstract

Copyright is a legal criterion for determining the scope and method of digital library service. Works with expired protection periods correspond to the public domain and can be freely used by anyone. For this reason, it is a priority consideration in digital library construction and services. The purpose of this study is to examine how actively libraries are using expired protected works for digital library services. To this end, the relevant provisions of the Copyright Act applied to the construction and service of digital libraries were first summarized, and the meaning of the copyright protection period was theoretically examined. The current status of online services for expired works by the National Library of Korea was examined, focusing on the works of three Japanese colonial era writers, Kim Yoo-jung, Lee Hyo-seok, and Chae Man-sik, to check the specific service status of expired works. It reveals that the National Library of Korea is not fully utilizing the scope of the law, and that this situation is linked to the rights of other authors included in the book. Based on these results, it suggests that there is a need to change the service unit to focus on copyrighted works and to use authority records to systematize the management of authors' death years.

저작권은 디지털도서관 서비스의 범위와 방법을 결정하는 법률적인 기준이다. 보호기간 만료저작물은 저작권 보호가 종료되어 누구나 자유롭게 이용할 수 있다. 이런 까닭에 디지털도서관 구축과 서비스에서 우선 고려 대상이 된다. 이 연구는 실제로 도서관이 보호기간 만료저작물을 서비스에 얼마나 적극적으로 활용하고 있는가를 점검하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해서 먼저 디지털도서관의 구축과 서비스에 적용되는 저작권법의 관련 조항들을 망라해서 정리하고, 아울러 저작권 보호기간이 가지는 의미를 이론적으로 살펴보았다. 그리고 나서 국립중앙도서관의 보호기간 만료저작물 온라인 서비스 현황을 김유정, 이효석, 채만식 세 명의 일제강점기 작가들의 저작물을 중심으로 살펴보면서, 보호기간 만료저작물의 구체적인 서비스 실태를 점검하였다. 국립중앙도서관은 법률의 허용하는 범위를 충분히 활용하지 못하고 있으며, 이러한 사정이 도서 내에 포함된 다른 저작자의 권리와 연결되어 있음을 밝혔다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 서비스 단위를 저작물을 중심으로 변경할 필요성과 전거레코드를 활용해서 저작자의 생몰년 관리를 체계화할 필요가 있음을 제안하였다.
