NEWS COVERAGE 1 FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES

North Korea Dangles Hopes for Summit and End-of-War Declaration

North Korea would consider holding a summit meeting with South Korea and declaring an official end to the Korean War if the South can restore trust with it, the North’s official news agency reported Saturday, citing the sister of its leader, Kim Jong Un.

 

▶declaring an official end to the Korean War 한국전쟁의 공식 종전을 선언하다

 

Kim met three times with President Moon Jae-in of South Korea in 2018. But inter-Korean relations have chilled since Kim’s ​diplomacy with former President Donald Trump ​collapsed in early 2019 without an agreement on ending the North’s nuclear weapons programs and lifting sanctions on the country.​

 

▶inter-Korean relations 남북 관계

▶lifting sanctions on the country 북한에 대한 제재를 완화(해제하다)

▶ cf. impose sanctions 제재를 가하다

 

In recent months, Moon has repeatedly urged the North to engage in dialogue, hoping to put the peace process on the divided Korean Peninsula — his main foreign policy initiative — back on track before his single, five-year term ends in May. Speaking at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, Moon repeated his proposal for a declaration to end the Korean War.

 

▶ main foreign policy initiative 주요 외교 정책

 

Moon insists that if all major participants in the war — the two Koreas, the United States and China — together make such an end-of-war declaration, it could build confidence on the Korean Peninsula and help the North move toward denuclearization.

 

▶ build confidence on the Korean Peninsula 한반도에 신뢰를 쌓기 위해

 

“When the parties involved in the Korean War stand together and proclaim an end to the war, I believe we can make irreversible progress in denuclearization and usher in an era of complete peace,” Moon said. On Saturday, Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, appeared to stoke ​Moon’s hopes. ​

 

▶irreversible progress 불가역적 진전

▶appeared to stoke ​Moon’s hopes 문대통령의 바람에 힘을 싣는 것처럼 보이는

stoke sb's hope = putting fire to

 

She said that if the South restored mutual trust between the two Koreas, “​​several issues for improving the relations,​”​ including ​the end-of-war declaration and an inter-Korean summit, can “see meaningful and successful solution one by one at an early date,” according to ​an English dispatch by the North​’s Korean Central News Agency​.​ Kim​ Yo Jong serves as her brother’s spokesperson on issues related to South Korea and the United States.

 

▶restored mutual trust 상호신뢰를 회복하다

▶at an early date 빠른 시일내에 (=in the near future)

 

Kim Yo Jong “shows once again how adept she is in the art of psychological manipulation,” dangling before South Korea “all things Moon desperately desires before his term expires next May,” said Lee Sung-yoon, a North Korea expert at the Fletcher School at Tufts University in Massachusetts.

NEWS COVERAGE 2 FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES

Disney Sues to Keep Complete Rights to Marvel Characters

Writer by Brooks Barnes

c.2021 The New York Times Company

 

Moving to defend its Marvel superhero franchises, the Walt Disney Co. on Friday filed a flurry of lawsuits seeking to invalidate copyright termination notices served by artists and illustrators involved with marquee characters like Iron Man, Spider-Man and Thor.

 

 

▶filed a flurry of lawsuits 무더기 소송을 제기하다 (= fast and a lot of 눈더미처럼 많이 )

▶ cf) clust action lawsuit 집단 소송

▶ to invalidate copyright termination 저작권 종료를 무효화 시키다

▶marquee 가장 중요한. 유명한

eg.) Iron man is one of the marquee characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.(MCU)

 

Daniel M. Petrocelli, a high-powered Los Angeles litigator, filed the complaints on Disney’s behalf in federal courts in New York and California.

 

The dispute started in the spring when a prominent intellectual property lawyer, Marc Toberoff, served Marvel Entertainment, which is owned by Disney, with notices of copyright termination on behalf of five clients. They include Lawrence D. Lieber, 89, a comics writer and artist known for his 1960s-era contributions to bedrock Marvel characters.

 

▶ intellectual property 지적 재산권

▶on behalf of ~를 대신하여

▶contributions to bedrock 기반을 만드는 데 공헌한 (기반. 가장 중요한 fundamental, reliable)

 

Toberoff’s other clients are the estates of comics illustrators Steve Ditko and Don Heck, and heirs of writers Don Rico and Gene Colan. They are seeking to reclaim rights related to the Marvel characters they had a hand in creating, including Doctor Strange, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Falcon, Blade and the Wizard — several of which have become star revenue generators for Disney.

 

▶ the estates of 재단의. 가족의

▶ heirs of 후손의

▶they had a hand in creating 만드는데 기여하다

▶revenue generators 수익 창출기

 

The reclamation attempts stem from a provision of copyright law that, under certain conditions, allows authors or their heirs to regain ownership of a product after a given number of years. Such efforts turn on whether authors worked as hired hands or produced the material on their own and then sold it to publishers. The Copyright Revision Act of 1976, which opened the door to termination attempts, bans termination for people who delivered work at the “instance and expense” of an employer.

 

 

▶reclamation attempts 저작권을 되찾으려는 시도

▶Such efforts turn on (whether) 그런 시도는 ~ 에 달려있다

▶worked as hired hands or produced the material on their own 임시직인 상태(hired hands 일손) 에서 제작했는지, 스스로 제작한 후 팔았는지에 따라 결과가 달라 질 것

 

“Since these were works made for hire and thus owned by Marvel, we filed these lawsuits to confirm that the termination notices are invalid and of no legal effect,” Petrocelli said by phone.

 

Toberoff disagrees. “At the time all these characters were created, their material was definitely not ‘work made for hire’ under the law,” he said in an email in response to Disney’s filings. “These guys were all freelancers or independent contractors, working piecemeal for car fare out of their basements.”

 

If successful, Toberoff’s clients would receive a portion of profits from new works based on any of the copyrighted material.

 

▶work made for hire 고용된 상태에서 근무한

▶working piecemeal for car fare out of their basements. 본인들 지하실에서 교통비나 벌려 건바이건으로 판매한

▶piecemeal 처음부터 세심히 계획된 것이 아니라 때에 따라 때에 따라 조금씩 하는, 단편적인 (working one piece at a time = case by case 건당)

▶for car fare 교통비나 벌려(많지 않은 금액 강조)
