정보통신망법상 임시조치는 타인의 명예훼손이나 사생활침해 등 인격권을 침해하는 경우에, 피해자의 신청에 의하여 정보통신서비스제공자가 간명하게 삭제 등의 조치를 취하는 제도를 말한다. 이 제도는 원래 미국의 DMCA의 “notice and takedown”제도에서 불법저작물의 유통을 임시적으로 차단하는 조치에서 유래되었고, 우리나라에서는 저작권법 및 정보통 신망법에서 도입하고 있는 제도이다. 이 제도는 인터넷매체에 있어서 정보의 신속한 전파라는 특성을 감안하여, 정보 유통에 관여하는 정보통신서비스제공자로 하여금 임시적으로 분쟁을 해결토록 함으로써, 분쟁의 신속한 해결 및 자주적 해결을 그 이념으로 하고 있다. 특히 분쟁의 대상이 명예훼손이나 사생활침해 등 당사자간의 사적인 처분의 대상이라는 점에서 당사자 사이의 분쟁의 자주적 해결을 추구한다는 점에서 의미가 있는 제도이다. 이 제도는 그 절차가 신청－임시조치－통지－재개신청－재개의 순서로 단순하게 구성되어야만 신속하고 임시적이며 자주적인 분쟁해결이라는 제도의 이념을 충족할 수 있게 된다. 그러나, 현행 제도는 정보통신서비스제공자의 판단이라는 별도의 절차를 둠으로써 분쟁의 신속한 해결이라는 이념에 반하고, 이는 정보통신서비스제공자에게 지나친 부담을 지우고 있는 문제점이 있다. 또 정보게재자의 정보개재신청절차를 인정하지 않음으로써 그의 표현의 자유를 침해한다는 문제점도 있다. 향후 입법과정에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하여, 임시조치제도가 권리침해정보에 대한 가장 효율적인 분쟁해결제도로 자리잡을 수 있도록 하여야 한다.

The notice and takedown under 「the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, Etc.」means the system that ISPs can take action-including elimination-easily when someone violate personal rights and the victim requests taking appropriate measures like a elimination of injury information. This system originates from “notice and takedown” of DMCA in U.S.A. that says ISPs can block the distribution chanel of illegitimate works temporary. In Korea, the measure introduced into the copyright law and 「the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, Etc.」 The system tries to settle a dispute rapidly and independently as ISPs can resolve conflicts temporarily considering prompt spread of Internet media. Especially it is meaningful that this system seeks to resolve the problem on their owns between the persons directly involved because the conflicts such as defamation and invasion of privacy are the object of private disposal. This system can fulfill the idea of temporary and independent solve by following this simple process: notice - takedown - inform - put back - resume. But current system is against the idea of quick solution because it has the additional process of ISP’s judgement and, there is a problem that this system puts much over-deterrence to ISPs. Also there is a issue which rejecting “the put back system” is as good as the violation of free expression. Under the process of legislation in future, we should improve these problems, and we should try to put down roots for the best effective dispute resolution system against the injury information.
