The Korea Copyright Commission (KCC) Korean agency dedicated to copyright-related affairs representing the government of South Korea.[1][2] It promotes the legitimate use of works, and development of the copyright industry.[3]

The KCC researches policies and legislations on copyright, deliberates copyright-related issues, mediates copyright disputes, provides copyright education and public awareness programs, and serves as a copyright registration agency.[1]

The KCC copyright dispute moderation role serves as the non-judiciary dispute resolution body while the organization in charge of administering copyright enforcement is the Korea Copyright Protection Agency.[4]

The copyright law in South Korea is regulated by the Copyright Act of 1957 and has been subject to several amendments over the years. In 2009, a new revision of the Act introduced new policy for online copyright infringement including the power to delete illegal copies, notify the copyright infringers, and suspend online access to “repeated” infringers.[5]

In 2012, the KCC launched GongU Madang, a searchable database for works with permissive or expired copyrights.[6][7]
