Law firm Veat received a request from A Company, which operates a chat server where files can be uploaded, and conducted a review regarding the duty of care of Online service providers (OSPs).
An OSP is a person who transmits, specifies a path, or provides a connection to deliver copyrighted works, etc., selected by a user, without modifying the content, between the points designated by the user, through an information and communication network (Article 2(1)(1) of the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, hereinafter the same), or a person who provides services or facilities for users to access the information and communication network or to copy and transmit copyrighted works, etc., through the information and communication network. (Article 2(30) of the Copyright Act)
Veat thoroughly reviewed the Copyright Act and related laws and precedents to provide legal advice on ▲to what extent the duty of care of an OSP must be complied with ▲which type of OSP is included in the Copyright Act for a chat server where files can be uploaded ▲and the obligations of that type of OSP.
With the increasing number of copyright infringement cases through postings online, the responsibility and duty of care of OSPs are becoming increasingly important. For Online service providers (OSPs), copyright infringement postings are not easily judged for infringement and require technical analysis, making professional legal advice essential.
Law firm Veat is providing specialized legal advice on the Copyright Act, based on extensive experience in providing legal advice on the responsibility and duty of care of OSPs. If you have any questions regarding the responsibility of Online service providers (OSPs), please contact Law firm Veat at any time.
Thank you.
