Data mining has broad applications that reach beyond scholarly and scientific research and provide internet search engine services that are commonly used forms of Text and Data Mining('TDM') of websites. The exceptions and limitations for data mining provide a competitive advantage in the global race for policy innovation because it permits researchers to conduct computational analysis - TDM on any materials to which they have access. For this purpose, Japan and the EU added limitations on copyright to legalize some TDM research through amendments to copyright law, and the U.S. copyright law has allowed data mining by the fair use provision. On the other hand, there are no explicit exceptions and limitations for data mining under the Korean Copyright Act, and there are no cases considering data mining fair use. We review comparatively exceptions and limitations on copyright which will help to encourage AI-related business by using more data smoothly through the mining process and extracting more valuable information.

This study analyzed the meanings and other details of the provisions in line with the free use of public works introduced through the Copyright Act of Korea in Dec. 2013 in the aspect of archival information services and indicated the limitations as follows. First, not all institutions shall follow the provisions because it does not cover all institutions under the Law of Records Management in Korea. Second, even though most of works made for hire in state institutions, local governments, and public institutions are not yet made public, to enable a work to be made public is a requisite for public works to be used for free. This is to limit the scope of public works. To solve the problems, this study suggested the revision directions of the Copyright Act of Korea that every school, which creates works made for hire, are covered in the institutions that enable the free use of works and change the requisite to make a work public for the disclosure the information. This study also suggested that the element for copyright information shall be created in the records schedule for public institutions and metadata standard for records management.

This study is to in-depth analysis of the copyright issues related to the library's e-book service, which is the cause of the recent conflict between the publishing industry and the library industry. To this end, the purpose and outline of the copyright system were briefly summarized. Then, the jurisprudence of the Copyright Act applied to the borrowing of paper books and e-books was analyzed, and the position of the publisher's association and the library industry were reviewed together. In addition, problems of the current copyright act related to e-book services were diagnosed and directions for improvement were sought. Unlike in the case of paper books, first sale doctrine does not apply to e-book borrowing, so the library cannot acquire the right to service just by purchasing e-books. Based on the contract signed with the distributor in the process of purchasing the e-book, the library acquires the right to service the e-book. However, if the validity period of the exclusive publication right expires, the contract itself becomes invalid, which can cause serious problems in the stability of library services and preservation of resources. In order to solve this problem, it is suggested that the first sale doctrine needs to be extended to digital works.
