ABSTRACT

This paper examines copyright problems of government works which take up a considerable part of public records. The provisions related to government works of the copyright laws of United States and United Kingdom are examined for the purpose of comparison with similar provisions in copyright act of Korea. The copyright act of Korea protects more strongly government works than U.K and U.S. therefore is an obstacle for use of the works. Also websites of governments and national archives are examined for their copyright policies in the process of service of government works. This paper found that the copyright policies of Korean governments' official websites and the National Archives and Records Service limits free use of government works. This study proposed that the provision of definition for government works need to be added to the copyright act of Korea and the provision 7 should be revised. And open access license V.2 which developed by Korean government should be applied to government works.
