This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the implications of the metaverse on the music industry, focusing on copyright issues and potential solutions. It delves into the concept and characteristics of metaverse platforms, describing them as environments that immerse users in a variety of virtual experiences. A significant portion of the paper is dedicated to exploring music use and copyright infringement in the metaverse. It examines how users incorporate existing music into their content, often leading to legal challenges due to copyright infringement. The paper discusses the role of online service providers (OSPs) in this context and the legal implications of their actions. The paper also addresses the 'safe harbor' provisions for OSPs and examines the balance between protecting rights holders and limiting OSP liability. It highlights the challenges and limitations of copyright enforcement in the metaverse, especially given the unique nature of content on platforms such as Roblox. Finally, the article proposes solutions to simplify music licensing in the metaverse, suggesting a shift from property rules to liability rules and the establishment of Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) to streamline the licensing process and better protect copyright holders' interests.

In recent years, digital content has become easily accessible because of internet technology. Representative examples of such digital content include various types, such as music, TV, (program, sport, drama etc.) and films. However, there are cases where internet technology is used in illegal ways without the authorization of the copyright holder for digital content. Such actions have a direct impact on copyright owners' profits and further affect the development of the digital culture industry adversely. Therefore, in this study, we analyze features to detect piracy sites that cause copyright infringement. Further, we develop a piracy site detection crawler based on these features and present the analysis of its performance.

우리나라 소송 체계에서 증거 등의 구조적 편재문제는 여전히 해소되지 않는 난제로 남아있다. 과거 이를 해결하기 위하여 많은 방법론적 논란이 있었으나, 최근에는 미국의 디스커버리와 같은 제도의 도입이 필요하다는 점이 더 이상 논란이 되지는 않는다. 이에 지식재산권 분야에서는 특허법을 중심으로 한 다양한 입법적 시도를 통한 제도 개선이 도모하고 있는 상황이다. 반면 컴퓨터프로그램저작물 등에 대한 저작권 침해 소송이 점차 고도의 기술적 특징을 배경으로 하는 경우가 많아짐에도 불구하고 디스커버리에 관한 논의는 거의 발견되지 않는다. 특허법 등의 경우 디스커버리와 같은 제도를 나름의 형태로 도입함으로써 이 문제를 적극적으로 해결하려는 모습과 대비된다. 컴퓨터프로그램저작물을 중심으로 한 저작권법 체계 역시 침해 소송에서 증거 등의 확보는 매우 중요하나 현실적으로 많은 한계를 나타내고 있다. 그러다 보니 실무에서는 침해물을 적절히 확보하지 못한 상태에서 소송을 진행할 수 밖에 없는 모습도 나타난다. 이에 저작권 침해 소송에서도 디스커버리와 같은 제도 보완이 요구되며, 현재 활용되는 다양한 방법을 중심으로 어떠한 방법론으로 접근이 필요할 지 검토해 보았다. 구체적으로는 미국의 디스커버리 제도 직접 적용, 특허법의 자료제출명령 준용 및 저작권법에 별도 제도 마련 방안을 검토하였다.

클라우드 환경의 발전에 따른 스트리밍 플랫폼과 콘텐츠의 증가로 합법적인 콘텐츠뿐만 아니라 불법 복제된 콘텐츠 또한 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있다. 따라서 다양한 콘텐츠에 대한 저작권 침해 여부를 판별할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 요구된다. 한국저작권보호원에서는 AI를 활용한 영상 콘텐츠 실증시스템을 운영하고 있지만, 해상도 변화와 같은 왜곡에 대해 한계점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스켈레톤 정보를 활용하여 불법 스트리밍 플랫폼에서 유통 중인 영상 콘텐츠에 대해 왜곡 저항력이 강한 저작권 침해 여부 판단 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 빠른 연산을 위해 수집된 데이터를 이진 데이터로 변환하여 원본 영상과의 해밍거리를 계산하는 방법을 사용하였으며, 실험 결과 평균 215KB의 크기와 94.79%의 정확도로 불법 복제 영상물을 판별할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Clothing is intimately intertwined with daily lives as every individual relies on it. The pervasive issue of plagiarism in the fashion industry has led to an increased demand to protect intellectual property rights. Currently, studies on the protection of fashion design intellectual property rights in China remain in the exploratory stage and warrant further investigation. This paper addresses the issue in two parts. The first part contains an analysis of the theoretical foundation for the protection of fashion design copyrights. It is further divided into three subsections. The first subsection primarily examines the concept of copyrights and laws. The second subsection focuses on the concept of fashion design copyrights and laws. The third subsection analyzes copyright laws concerning fashion designs in China. The second section offers an analysis of infringement cases involving fashion designs published during the Baiyi Cup Intellectual Property Case Summary Writing Competition held in China in 2023. It outlines the shortcomings of the current Chinese copyright laws regarding the protection of fashion designs, and proposes measures for improvement. This study argues that the institutional framework for intellectual property rights in the Chinese fashion industry should align with practical considerations and explores suitable legal regulations and how they relate to specific circumstances in China. Besides refining the legal framework, fashion designers and enterprises must take measures to entablish the intellectual property rights of their clothing brands.

Open source has many advantages and is widely used in various fields. However, legal disputes regarding copyright and licensing of datasets and learning models have recently arisen in artificial intelligence developments. We examine how datasets affect artificial intelligence learning and services from the perspective of copyrighting and licensing when datasets are used for training models. The licensing conditions of datasets can lead to copyright infringement and license violation, thus determining the scope of disclosure and commercialization of the trained model. In addition, we examine related legal issues.

The content industries environment has been undergoing significant changes due to rapid technological innovation and content market expansion. Interest in the industry is growing fast both in Asia and Europe. However, in Japan content industries are showing almost zero growth with no increase in overseas expansion. Until now, Japanese content industries have been able to grow based on domestic demands. Many different factors contributed to today's zero growth in Japanese content industries. Two main reasons are: 1) Their lack of interest in overseas expansion and 2) Insufficient investment in domestic human resources development. Considerable amounts of Japanese contents including films, music, games, and animations have been distributed in many Asian countries and today piracy problems in the region are at a serious level. According to 2004 records pirated editions accounted for 85%, 16%, 19%, and 36% in China, Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan respectively. Pirated editions bring economic losses to Japanese copyright profits. Making it worse, they weaken the motivation to create content and make it hard to activate cultural exchanges. Losses from copyright violations in Japanese content industries are expected to keep increasing in the future. In order to make Japan competitive and grow it is crucial to take proper measures to protect copyright infringements. This study considers the current situation of the Japanese content market, infringement issues in content which is causing many problems in Asian countries, including China, and facts about losses caused by this problem.

In 2012, Psy's music video 'Gangnam Style' spread through parodies, and gained explosive popularity. In 2016, there was a case so-called as 'baseball ground cheering song' in which a author(songwriters) claimed an infringement of the 'right of integrity' related to cheering songs used by professional baseball teams. In response, the court denied violating the right of integrity in 2019. These cases have different effects depending on whether or not the 'right of integrity' is claimed. This study attempted an economic analysis in addition to a legal analysis of the right of integrity. Korean copyright law regards even simple changes that go against the author's will as a infringement of the 'right of integrity' even if they do not harm honor or reputation. Such legislation is one of the most strongly protected forms in the world, so it cause many problems. Meanwhile, we analyzed the cost-benefit analysis of Psy's 'Gangnam Style' case and the 'baseball ground cheering song' case. As a result of the analysis, the right to integrity is inefficient in quantitative and qualitative aspects. Therefore, the right of integrity should be reconsidered with the focus on 'popular music'. In particular, considering the development of information communication technology and changes, a revision direction is needed to meet the purpose of the copyright act. Furthermore, in order to solve the legal issues under the Copyright Act, the requirement for infringement of the right of integrity should be relaxed. Then, we proposed the establishment of a proviso clause on the right of integrity.

인터넷 기술의 발전에 따라 온라인상에서 사용자들이 콘텐츠를 공유할 수 있는 공유 서비스들이 많아졌다. 최근에 발표된 연구에서는 온라인 스트리밍 서비스를 재생했을 때 PC에 남는 캐시 파일들을 특정 규칙에 맞게 재조합하면 재생했던 영상을 복원할 수 있으며, 이를 통해 불법저작물 시청에 대한 디지털증거를 확보할 수 있음이 알려졌다. 저작권 침해의 관점에서 이러한 기술은 실시간으로 스트리밍된 콘텐츠들을 파일 형태로 다시 복원할 수 있고, 이는 다른 사이트로 재유포 및 재업로드 될 가능성이 있음을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 국내외로 많이 사용되는 온라인 스트리밍 서비스 23개를 선정하여 시청한 후, PC에 기록되는 캐시 파일을 이용하여 영상 복원 여부를 실험하였다. 이를 통해 거의 모든 사이트에서 복원이 가능했음을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 본 연구에서는 온라인 스트리밍 서비스상에서 영상 복원을 통한 저작권 침해를 방지하기 위한 방안들에 대해서도 함께 언급하고자 한다.
