Abstract

This study examines the evolution of the library environment in response to technological advancements and the implications of exceptions to copyright law. To this end, it examines the technological challenges leading up to the enactment of the US Copyright Act in 1976 and the legislative debates that followed. It also explores alternatives that overcome the structural limitations of Korea’s legislation, which is centered on expropriation. The US case demonstrates how the formation of autonomous norms, coordination through public discussion, and practice-based institutionalization led to successful legislation. Based on this, it proposes that Korea, too, must accumulate autonomous practice standards, design policies based on stakeholder consultation, and strengthen the legal and practical capabilities of libraries to ensure a balanced approach to protecting the public interest and rights holders’ interests.
