In this respect, such exceptions to the exclusive rights play an important role in
protecting public interest by allowing the public to access or use copyright works in certain
circumstances without paying remuneration fees or infringing the exclusive rights of the owners. Without the copyright exceptions, it would be inconvenient for users to obtain
copyright materials as they would be required to request permission and pay for using materials
in every case, whether the extent of use is considered to be small or large. In this context, the
copyright exceptions help the public to eliminate transaction costs, such as licensing fees or
remuneration fees, since when the purpose of such uses falls within the scope of the exceptions,
the reproductions can be done without the payment of royalty fees. Thus, the notion of
balancing the interests cannot operate in practice without the use of copyright exceptions as a tool for safeguarding public interests.
