A. The summary of the argument is that the Defendant did not have the purpose of profit-making, and thus, the instant facts charged constitute a crime subject to victim’s complaint
Accordingly, there was no complaint by H, the joint author of the program described in the facts charged (hereinafter “work of this case”).
In addition, around December 2013, the victim E Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “victim E”) filed the instant complaint at around September 11, 2014 after six months from the date on which the Defendant knew that the Defendant’s act as recorded in the facts charged was infringed on copyright.
Therefore, the public prosecution of this case cannot be viewed as a legitimate complaint by the complainant, and it should be dismissed as it is based on the expiration of the period of the complaint.
B. The prosecution against the offense of violating the Copyright Act, which is stipulated in Article 136(1)1 of the Copyright Act, requires a complaint.
