Copyright applies to various fields such as images, videos and texts.

Recently, since the articles, photos, and videos are uploaded to various places through the Internet, such as SNS and blogs, attention to copyright is required more.

In July, musical actress Jung Sun-ah posted controversy on his SNS by posting a picture of a movie taken at a movie theater.

Recording, photographing, and posting a movie on screen at a movie theater may be penalized for violating copyright laws.

In addition, sharing illegally copied novels or sharing videos may be a violation of copyright law.

In August, Mr. Jung was accused of copyright infringement in which he operated a site by uploading pirated novels by creating various novel bulletin boards by using domain computers and server rental companies with laptop computers in one studio.

Chung was sentenced to two years of probation and 120 hours of community service in October for imprisonment for guilty of violating copyright law, based on the period and contents of copyright infringement, and the number of copyrighted victims.

The Copyright Act is a law designed to contribute to the development of culture and related industries by protecting the rights of copyright holders and promoting the fair use of works.

In addition to movies and novels from the previous examples, it is applied to various fields such as music, cartoons, and games.

In case of copyright infringement and dispute, it is important to infringe copyright law first, and based on legal review, we can take measures such as suspending infringement, requesting disposal of goods, and requesting civil damages.

In addition, if necessary, countermeasures should be taken against criminal penalties, audits and claims by copyright holders, countermeasures against copyright infringement, licensing costs and damages.

Violation of copyright law can result in imprisonment of up to five years or fines of up to 50 million won, followed by civil liability.

In case of damage due to the violation of copyright law, the amount of damage compensation can be sent by proving the damages and verifying the damages.

However, it is advisable to seek help from lawyers and law firms with experience and knowledge of litigation.

Kim Dong-seop, a lawyer at YK Corporate Law Group, said, “As a violation of copyright law occurs, copyright law is being punished.

Even if the violation of the same copyright law, the level of punishment can vary depending on the damage or the degree of violation.

In case of unintended violation of copyright law, a fact-finding procedure is required based on the relevant law, and even if it is damaged, the degree of damage and the process of verifying copyright are required.

This is why it is advisable to seek help from lawyers and law firms with relevant legal knowledge. ”
