영국의 저작권집중관리 제도 = A Study on the Collective Copyright Management System in the United Kingdom

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Copyright confers exclusive rights which are vested in the copyright owner and give him the right to forbid others to exploit the work without authorization. Ideally these rights are exercised on an individual basis by agreement between the copyright owner and the individual user of the work and there are many cases in which rights continue to be exercised individually.
There are, however, certain rights which are difficult if not impossible to exercise individually and in respect of which rights owners have for many years banded together to exercise rights on a collective basis. Control over the operations of collecting societies is exercised in a variety of ways. Regulatory bodies, organizations, companies which have a monopoly in the market come under scrutiny at some point.
Each country has its own collecting society system and Korea is not an exception. By looking at various kinds of collecting society systems in the United Kingdom, those examples of British systems would be helpful to develop Korean collecting society systems in modern Korean Copyright Act.
