방송 저작권 관련 국제규범의 현황과 시사점

Traditionally broadcast has been national because it was transmitted to a national audience or a particular linguistic area. However, these days cross-border broadcasting has become common via satellite and internet. Also, astechnologies converging broadcast and communication have been rapidly developed, broadcast works as well as other audiovisual works also have been transmitted over different flatforms and networks, whether via traditional broadcasting (terrestrial, cable and satellite) or via the internet and may be delivered to any one through a number of devices such as TV(includinginternet-enabled TV), PC, games console and/or mobile media devices. To enhance the chances of their business under these new situations, the makers of broadcast works are increasingly developing new business models to activate multi-use of the works. To enable our copyright system to meet with the rapidly-changing present circumstances surrounding broadcasting industry as stated above, this paper tried to provide an overview on the current situation of the international norms appliable to broadcast copyright and examine the role of the current international legal regime which is responsible for expanding the definition of broadcast and for enlarging the rights of the authors and the broadcast makers. Furthermore, This paper tried to reduce certain ideas for legislative improvements of the Korean copyright law with regard to broadcast works in line with the corresponding international norms. For this purpose, firstly the authors address history of international norms on broadcast copyright(II) and current situation of the international norms on the concept of broadcasting(III). Then, the authors discuss current situation of the international norms regarding copyright protection for broadcast works(IV). Finally, the authors propose certain items to improve the Korean copyright law on broadcast works in consideration of the recent developments in the international copyright law on broadcasting(V).
