공연 암표의 단속 및 처벌 실효성 제고를 위한 공연법 개정 연구 = The Study on Amendment of Public Performance Act to Enhance the Effectiveness of Crackdown and Punishment of Scalping Tickets

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Despite the enforcement of the amended Public Performance Act on March 22, 2024, illegal ticket scalping remains pervasive in both online and offline domains. The study identifies critical limitations in the current legal framework, particularly in the penal provisions, which require a two-stage conduct— unauthorized acquisition via macro software and subsequent resale at inflated prices—to constitute a punishable offense. This design creates enforcement gaps where each act, if conducted by separate individuals or entities, cannot be sanctioned independently. It also poses challenges for law enforcement in obtaining warrants and proving the sequential linkage between the acts.
Furthermore, even when inflated resale is detected, substantiating macro based illicit acquisition remains difficult. In response to these issues, this study examines legislative trends and proposes amendments to the Public Performance Act to expand regulatory coverage, eliminate macro-usage prerequisites, and strengthen investigatory authority to enhance the effectiveness of crackdown and punishment on scalping practices
