The most representative example of this change in the Internet paradigm is the popularity of UCC (User Created Contents).

UCC is a work created by an individual user, not a regular content creator, using his computer or camcorder. Compared to simple texts and conversations, UCC has been used as a means to inform many people about their ideas and interests because it is easier to understand and has a variety of information available.

However, even if produced by individual users, if the UCC includes contents of copyrighted contents such as dramas, movies, and broadcasts produced by broadcasting stations or film producers, they may be treated as illegal works. Depending on the content or quantity of content included, the more popular content that is used for UCC of individual users, the more expensive it is to produce, and the UCC containing such content is posted on a web page and widely distributed to the public. In this case, this restriction is indispensable since there is a high risk that the consumption of the content is reduced. Unless copyright-based restrictions are placed on the distribution of UCC, production companies are reluctant to produce content, which can eventually lead to the collapse of the content industry.
