Even though I completed the construction, the contractor isn't paying the agreed amount, and the unpaid construction payment situation continues. We didn't draft a formal contract — we verbally agreed on the construction scope and amount and proceeded. Some content was exchanged via text or KakaoTalk, and I have photos of the construction site and records of material and labor cost expenditures. I'd like to know if I can prove unpaid construction payment with these materials alone, and what evidence is most important if it goes to lawsuit.

Hello. This is a Yeouido attorney at Daeryun Law Firm.

From the content of your question requesting a Yeouido attorney recommendation, the issue you are currently experiencing appears to be a criminal procedure related to copyright law violation.

Charges of unauthorized copying or use of software or programs are classified as copyright infringement acts, but in actuality, the possibility of punishment can vary greatly depending on the purpose of use, the repetitiveness of the act, and whether it is for profit.

Copyright law generally has a structure of complaint-based offenses.

That is, investigation or prosecution is possible only if the copyright holder directly files a complaint, and if the victim withdraws the complaint, criminal proceedings may end.

However, in cases where commercial purpose or habitual infringement is recognized, it is converted to a non-complaint offense, and punishment is possible regardless of complaint withdrawal, so it is most important to clearly organize the facts in the early stages.

In practice, the purpose and circumstances of program use are key issues.

If used for personal study or research, or technical experimentation, exceptions for "non-commercial personal use" may be recognized under Article 30 and Article 101-3, Paragraph 1, Item 4 of the Copyright Act.

On the other hand, if linked to company work or for-profit activities, there is a high possibility of being judged as copyright infringement.

Therefore, before appearing at the investigation agency, you need to specifically organize when, in what environment, and with what purpose you used the program, and distinguish the connection with the company.

In copyright cases, the initial response determines the direction of the case. In the early stages of investigation, unnecessary statements or misunderstandings can lead to expanded investigation, so you should definitely conduct the investigation with an attorney present.

Also, securing objective data such as program installation paths, log records, and email history will help prove non-commercial use.

Daeryun Law Firm has its head office in Yeouido, and intellectual property specialist attorneys, criminal specialist attorneys, the digital forensics center, and patent attorneys cooperate to provide one-stop response to copyright, industrial technology protection, and digital evidence cases.

In particular, in cases where program or data use is at issue, by simultaneously performing technical analysis and legal review, we help investigation agencies accurately understand the facts.

If you currently work in Yeouido, after making a consultation reservation in advance, you can have an in-person consultation during lunch hours or before/after work.

Daeryun Law Firm's Yeouido attorneys provide assistance to accurately analyze the situation and lead to non-referral or non-prosecution decisions at the investigation stage by proving non-commercial use.

The faster the initial response, the more the result can change. In copyright law violation cases, punishment is not imposed simply because a program was used; intent, profitability, and the victim's intent are comprehensively considered, so I recommend that at this stage where you have requested a Yeouido attorney recommendation, you quickly seek expert advice.
