ABSTRACT

This study explores the current state and challenges of YouTube audiobook usage by analyzing copyright labeling and user responses to YouTube audiobook contents within the context of digital reading environments. An analysis of metadata and user comments from the 100 most-viewed audiobook videos showed that 45% of the contents did not include proper copyright attribution. Using frequency analysis, keyword network analysis, and user response analysis, analysis on 8,192 user comments showed that words ‘listening’, ‘thank you’, and ‘good’ were mostly used. Based on the results, this study proposes the necessity of audiobook copyright management, along with the development of public library audiobook programs for emotional support and wellness.
