Abstract

Disputes related to copyright frequently arise in the broadcasting and OTT services. There are three types of disputes. The first is disputes between broadcasters and collective management organizations regarding trust agreements for phonogram incorperated in audiovisual works. The second issue is related to broadcasting remuneration for using audiovisual works and phonograms in broadcasting, and the last is the the application of broadcasting remuneration claims according to international treaties. Some legislative proposals were announced to solve these problems. However, these proposals also have inherent problems that make them difficult to implement. The broadcasting monitoring system is being introduced as a solution to solve copyright rights issues in broadcasting. It is important to point out that the quantitative criteria for fair use need to expand the fair use of copyrights with the broadcasting monitoring system. It might be observed that if a user is sued based on fair use, the user will bear litigation costs. Therefore, if the copyright license fee is lower than the lawsuit cost, it is advantageous for the users to pay for the use of a very small portion of copyrighted works. With the introduction of the broadcasting monitoring system, particularly when implementing a monitoring system for literary works, it is necessary that fair use has to be distinguished from licensed uses of copyright works, and a substantial database for literary works may be required.
