[Law firm Veat TIP] Latest issues in the digital art era, what is ‘Exhibition’?

Law firm Veat TIP(Technology Intellectual Property) team published a column on the concept of 'right to exhibit' and legal boundaries in the digital art era on startup-focused media platform Platum.

As digital art based on NFT art, media art, immersive exhibitions, etc., rapidly spreads, whether showing them online or on screens is considered 'exhibition' under copyright law is an important issue for creators and service providers alike. Especially, the interpretation surrounding whether the scope of the right to exhibit can be extended from the existing physical tangible objects to digital files, holograms, and metaverse content reveals a disharmony between the current legal system and business.

This column provides a detailed analysis of the right to exhibit, points out newly emerging rights interpretation in the digital content era, and further summarizes the key elements that content providers and platform operators should refer to when planning actual exhibitions and concluding copyright usage agreements.
