CSuggestive similarity

Evidence tier

Echo patterns are similarity-based hypotheses, not proof of causation. Open the sources and evaluate the linkage yourself.

Evidence Scorecard

A single score cannot prove an echo. This card triangulates semantic, temporal, and linkage evidence.

Suggestive similarity

Semantic

Strong semantic alignment

Temporal

Global precedent precedes Korea

Linkage

No recorded linkage

Tier C — Suggestive similarity — semantic or keyword overlap + plausible timing

Multilingual semantic similarity

cosine similarity (method detail)0.825

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.825); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

Could also be…

•Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
•Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
•A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Matched concepts: accessible-format copies ↔ 대체자료 변환; copyright exception for print-disabled ↔ 시각장애인등을 위한 복제 예외(제33조); cross-border exchange ↔ 청각장애인 등 대체자료(제33조의2)

Cross-lingual similarity 59/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: treaty ratification → statutory transposition (copyright limitation)

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Original (Global)

The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled was adopted under WIPO auspices on 27 June 2013 and entered into force on 30 September 2016, three months after the 20th instrument of ratification. It obliges Contracting Parties to provide mandatory exceptions or limitations to copyright (notably the reproduction, distribution and making-available rights) so that "authorized entities" and beneficiary persons can produce and exchange accessible-format copies^① (e.g., Braille, audio, large print, accessible digital files). It also permits cross-border exchange^③ of such accessible-format copies^① between Contracting Parties (Articles 4-6). The Republic of Korea deposited its instrument of ratification on 8 October 2015, and the Treaty entered into force for Korea on 30 September 2016.

「저작권법」 제33조(시각장애인등을 위한 복제 등) 및 제33조의2(청각장애인 등을 위한 복제 등)가 마라케시 조약 이행의 핵심 국내법 근거이다. 시각장애인 등을 위한 점자·녹음 예외는 2006년(법률 제8101호)·2009년(법률 제9625호) 개정으로 이미 존재했으나, 마라케시 조약 취지에 부합하는 실질적 확대는 법률 제19597호(2023. 8. 8. 공포, 2024. 2. 9. 시행) 개정으로 이루어졌다. 동 개정은 시각장애인 등의 복리증진 시설이 저작물에 포함된 문자·영상 등 시각적 표현을 시각장애인 등이 인지할 수 있는 '대체자료'로 변환하여 복제·배포·공연·공중송신할 수 있도록 하고, 시각장애인 등과 그 보호자(보조자 포함)가 개인적 이용을 위하여 적법하게 접근한 저작물을 대체자료로 변환·복제할 수 있도록 제33조 제3항을 신설하였으며, 청각장애인 등에 대해서도 음성·음향 등을 자막 등 대체자료로 변환할 수 있도록 제33조의2를 정비하였다. 소관 부처는 문화체육관광부이며, 집행 지원기관은 한국저작권위원회이다.
