ABSTRACT

Legal deposit is a system that a person who publishes in the country a work shall deposit a certain copies of publications in designated libraries or institutions in order to preserve and transfer national knowledge and culture heritage. Under 「Libraries Act」 and 「National Assembly Library Act」, depositors shall present books to the Library and the Library shall properly compensate him/her for such copies presented. This study focuses on presentation and proper compensation of books. This study has reviewed laws and regulations about them in major countries and our country, and analyzed the current status and some problems of our country. This study has analyzed the constitutionality of legal deposit, the refusal of copies presented, and the meaning of proper compensation through analyzing cases on legal deposit. Based on these analyses, it has proposed the modification of regulations on presentation and proper compensation of books, the establishment of specific rules on proper compensation, and the penalties on unfair presentation.
