Abstract
This study aims to check the effectiveness of ‘diligent search’ stipulated in Article 35-4 of the Copyright Act of Korea. ‘Diligent search’ is to identify the copyright holder and his or her contact information. But the process provided by the law includes many cases in which it is practically impossible to identify the relevant details, and includes unnecessary requirements. So it appears that improvement is needed. Based on this, it was proposed to improve the text of the Copyright Act (Article 35-4) and to abolish unnecessary provisions (Article 16-3 no.5~8) of the Enforcement Decree.
