The Korean Government is planning to allow data mining for commercial purposes by enacting an additional clause in the Copyright Act. Its necessity is questionable in that Korea has “fair use” as a general limitation clause(Article 35-5) since 2011. If commercial purposes data mining is inevitable, it can be resolved under the control of four fairness factors with the existing “fair use” clause which was adopted with the Korea/US FTA. Even before the legislation of "fair use" in 2011, Korean Courts have referred to the four fairness factors of Article 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act as an analysis tool in the application of Article 28, a pseudo general limitation clause at that time. This experience of the Courts regarding 'fair use' doctrine is by no means negligible. It is also worth noting the Australian government's attitude to introduce ‘fair use’ doctrine. The Australian ALRC analyzed that 'fair use' suggests more clear and predictable standard compared to diverse 'fair dealings' of the Australian copyright act. In Germany, data mining for non-profit academic purposes only was allowed, France limited the sphere to scientific publications from legitimate sources, so it was intended to allow only text mining. Commercial purposes data mining seems to be allowable under the European Union Digital Single Market Directive, however right holders have the right to opt-out for commercial data mining(Art. 4). The opt-out scheme may leave commercial purposes data mining at the mercy of the content owners, making EU data mining operators inferior to the U.S. competitors. The fact that U.K, recently drew a line against commercial data mining is also noticeable. Comparatively and from our experience, the 'fair use' of the Korean Copyright Act itself could function as a useful scheme in dealing with data mining, commercial purpose inclusive though which is undesirable. In this situation, additional enactment the Government is pursuing currently might result in legislative excess.
