Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead   2019.09.09   Public lending rights (PLR) refer to the rights authors, and other original content creators have in regards to books that are loaned to the public by institutions like public libraries. PLR is a credit-type right to claim compensation in order to make up for losses the content creator may face due to the lending of their book by libraries to the public. It is not a real proprietary right that has the power to permit or ban the use of the published work itself.   Countries that have adopted PLR   Nearly all the countries that have PLR are in Europe because the program implementation was made mandatory as part of a European Community (EC) agreement.   PLR was first adopted by Denmark in 1946 and enforced by other European countries slowly after then. As of August 2019, 33 countries around the world have implemented this program (some state 35 countrie...

South Korea's Fixed Book Price Policy

South Korea's Fixed Book Price Policy   2019.08.05   Fixed book price policies are rules that set consumer prices for books at levels the publishers select. Countries where these policies exist, sell books at the same price anywhere you go. Instead of competition through prices at the commercial sale level, price competition takes place at the production stage between publishers, boosting the diversity of distribution channels and convenience of readers.The global publishing market is divided into countries that have fixed book prices and those that do not. English speaking countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, which all form one giant market do not have fixed book prices. Non-English-speaking advanced countries like Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and Japan all have fixed book prices. Those that do have this policy have diverse ways to enforce it. For example, in Germany and France, the governments have passed special laws for fi...

Sales of key South Korean bookstores

Sales of key South Korean bookstores   2019.07.08   Today in many countries, online bookstores are a solid part of their publishing distribution networks. Up until the early 1990s, only physical bookstores of varying scale existed and readers' selection of books was based on book displays and how accessible the stores were. However, following the emergence of Amazon in 1995, online bookstores have solidified their position as key sales channels of the publishing industry in countries around the world. That change markedly took place in South Korea compared to other countries.   After online bookstores first emerged in South Korea in 1997, they grew rapidly due to book discounts, with the fixed price policy largely ignored.   Currently, the market share of online bookstores in the United States stands at 45 percent, France 20 percent, Germany 18 percent and Japan 15 percent. In South Korea, that number is higher than 50 percent. South...

A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition

A Diagnosis of South Korea's E-book Market Amid Subscription Competition   2019.06.10   On May 9, the Korean Publishers Association held a seminar on current issues that affect the digital publishing industry called 'The Attack of Netflix, Fixed Price System for Books Challenged'. Participants at the seminar debated whether e-book subscription services and the fixed price system for books can co-exist in South Korea. Subscription services refer to online services where members can read an unlimited number of books online after paying low monthly fees, like Netflix. Meanwhile, South Korea's fixed price regulations for book sales prevent bookstores from lowering prices beyond what publishers demand in order to protect small-to-medium sized bookstores and publishers. With the rise of these monthly subscription services, worries have been growing they may shake up the entire fixed price system altogether.The seminar kicked off with an introduction from Chung Won-ok, a senior...
