กฎหมายลิขสิทธิ์ของไทยกับความผิด ฐานแอบถ่ายในโรงภาพยนตร์

Abstract

Nowadays the problem of camcording in theatre has become one of the priority problems in infringement of copyright, which requires special attention since the IP infringement has become increasingly severe following the high-speed internet technology. Such infringement affects the IP owners at great costs. In addition, the damage from camcording in theatre has put an impact on the country’s reputation since it could reach to the divestment or the foreign investor’s decision not to make investment in both the film industry and the group of industries prone to the risks of IP infringement. Recently, the film industry operators, including film owners, theater owners, as well as the authorities in Department of Intellectual Property, have cooperated to advocate the issuance of draft laws on camcording in theatre, which should be a special law for easy implementation, as an alternative to amendingthe provisions under the current IntellectualProperty Act.
