The study examined signification and range of record for sale, the second clause of Article 29 of copyright law and suggested its improvement. Record for sale should be narrowly interpreted as record for sale in market for 5 reasons; the second clause of Article 29 is a limit regulation of property rights; there is a possibility of unduly infringement of copyright holder’s interest due to the regulation; there is a problem of profit equilibrium between copyright holder and user; allowing commercial performance of music due to free use is not a fair use; no countries except Korea have the regulation. Additionally, in the second clause of Article 29, ‘for the purpose of nonprofit’ should be added and ‘record for sale’ should be amended to ‘commercial sound source’
