KOMCA emphasizes the need to balance the protection of creators' rights with the advancement of AI technology.
[TV Daily Reporter Kim Han-gil] Recently, the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA, President Chuga-Yeol) stated its position on the 'Fair Use Guide' announced by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Copyright Commission. This guide is aimed at balancing the protection of creators' rights amid the advancement of AI technology and is designed to simplify understanding of the current copyright law. KOMCA views this guide as a reference document that explains legal provisions through examples rather than introducing new regulations.
This guide is seen as an attempt to reduce uncertainty in the industry by outlining legal standards for AI training. However, some AI companies are concerned that these fair use criteria could negatively impact their businesses, suggesting that a cautious approach is necessary. KOMCA emphasizes the importance of fair compensation for creators while seeking to maintain a balance for sustainable industry development.
