The prosecution of this case is dismissed.

Reasons

The summary of the facts charged in the instant case is that the Defendant infringed on the author’s property right by reproducing B’s photographic works without permission on January 20, 2012 and posting them on the Internet PC (C). This is a crime falling under Article 136(1) of the former Copyright Act (amended by Act No. 11110, Dec. 2, 201) and can be prosecuted only upon the victim’s complaint under Article 140 of the same Act. According to the statement in the letter of revocation of complaint filed in the records, B may recognize the fact that the Defendant revoked the complaint against the Defendant on April 19, 2013, which is the date of the instant indictment. Accordingly, the public prosecution in this case is dismissed pursuant to Article 327(5) of the Criminal Procedure Act.
