South Korea is facing a growing debate over whether to pursue its own nuclear weapons program in response to the escalating nuclear and missile threat from North Korea. Although the government has stated that it is not actively pursuing this policy, comments from political leaders and growing public support indicate that the issue cannot be simply ignored.
Polls show that support for an indigenous nuclear weapons program hovers around 70 percent among the South Korean public, meaning that the country's leaders could develop the bomb without fear of significant domestic backlash. However, the question South Korea is now asking itself is whether the benefits of doing so outweigh the costs.
The global nonproliferation regime, including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), has largely prevented new states from developing nuclear weapons for over half a century. Compliance with this regime is enforced through penalties and punishments, such as economic sanctions, which are imposed if states are found violating their safeguards agreements.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
