Pandora TV, a free video-sharing website, yesterday suggested applying 'reference rights' to video clips of less than five minutes in an effort to stave off copyright problems involving broadcasters.
An official at Pandora TV yesterday said the company has submitted a written statement to the National Internet Promotion Agency of Korea and the three national broadcasters -- KBS, MBC and SBS -- asking them to guarantee Web users the right to 'freely edit' a certain part of a TV program, be it news, documentary, drama or entertainment."
