<div dir="ltr">Hi Jessica,<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure why I would need to contact the DPRK's WIPO representatives, since this is not the way IPR requests normally work at our level (as academics or individuals, publishing/reproducing for education with educational publishers). One would normally apply to the relevant copyright holder, agreeing terms; WIPO is the legislative body, not the copyright holder. Admittedly, and I am more familiar with Europe and North America when it comes to music/artistic rights. Anyhow, there appears to be a chasm between what the DPRK copyright law states and what it allows to happen – not least because the law essentially gives rights to individual holders/creators (in keeping with post-Bern conventions) even if, depending on interpretation, it also gives those same rights to the state. It is challenging to contact individual artists, their families, or IPR inheritors in Pyongyang, and it would, to my mind, be unwise to do so, given the restrictions placed on interactions with foreigners ( – what dangers might accrue to those individuals if one does?). At the same time, and in this I am sure I am not alone, I have struggled for 30 years to get replies to requests sent to official bodies in Pyongyang. My starting point, therefore, was to discuss the situation with the appropriate minister at the DPRK Embassy in the UK. He told me to apply through him; when I did, after a couple of weeks, he came back and asked me to supply copies of everything I was citing in the book, which I did. This strongly suggested that he was following through with my requests, although silence – much as many of us have encountered when dealing with DPRK authorities, so nothing unusual – then ensued. Still, I had put on file with an accredited DPRK organisation exactly what I was intending to cite, and I had requested more than once that permission be given to do so. When it came time to publish, then, I followed what I consider normal practice in such circumstances, ensuring I can show, first, that I have taken reasonable steps to obtain rights clearances, and second that the material I cite can reasonably be considered, within the terms of the DPRK legislation as lodged with WIPO, to constitute 'fair use'. </div><div><br></div><div>Keith </div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Keith Howard</div><div dir="ltr"><div>Professor Emeritus and Leverhulme Fellow, SOAS, University of London</div><div><a href="mailto:kh@soas.ac.uk" target="_blank">kh@soas.ac.uk</a><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, 23 Jun 2020 at 15:07, Jessica Rossi <<a href="mailto:836329@stud.unive.it" target="_blank">836329@stud.unive.it</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><span style="word-spacing:1px;border-color:rgb(49,49,49);color:rgb(49,49,49)">[KS] North Korean copyright issues</span><br></div><div dir="auto"><span style="word-spacing:1px;border-color:rgb(49,49,49);color:rgb(49,49,49)"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="word-spacing:1px;border-color:rgb(49,49,49);color:rgb(49,49,49)">Dear Keith,</span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="word-spacing:1px;border-color:rgb(49,49,49);color:rgb(49,49,49)"><br></span></div><div dir="auto"><span style="word-spacing:1px;border-color:rgb(49,49,49);color:rgb(49,49,49)">Did you try to contact the DPRK WIPO offices?

<br>
An employee of 남북경제문화협력재단 told me that they primarily issue permission<br>
forms for scholars active in South Korea. Since my publisher was<br>
pushing for a formal permission form and I did not want to abandon the<br>
image, I kept calling them until they finally let me pay a fee to<br>
issue a permission form, and I was able to use an image of a Buddhist<br>
sculpture from a North Korean book. I think it was about $100 for one<br>
image that I had provided myself (a scan from the book). Usually when<br>
requesting permission to publish an image, the museum/institution<br>
provides a high-resolution image. Not in this case, so I am not sure<br>
if it is worth all the hassle, unless the publisher insists.<br>
<br>
I like the idea of just adding a statement to the publication, like Keith did.<br>
<br>
Hope this is useful!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
