Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'In contrast to patent law, copyright law has been rather neglected by economists, and the book edited by Gordon and Watt will go a distance toward righting the balance. The topics are varied, the economic analysis in them both rigorous and accessible.' - Richard A. Posner, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and University of Chicago Law School, US 'A valuable and intelligent compendium of analyses of an issue that is likely to prove increasingly crucial for economic efficiency and the general welfare. To those not conversant with the literature, the book is full of surprising and stimulating insights and analytic avenues. It takes us well beyond the obvious tradeoff between the benefits of stimulus of creativity and ease of dissemination that is the central issue, but by no means the only important issue for rules designed to protect intellectual property.' - William J. Baumol, New York University and Princeton University, US Presenting a selection of innovative research contributions written by some of the best-known academics in the field, The Economics of Copyright covers issues that are at the forefront of the implementation and management of copyright.

Book excerpt: This paper reviews the merits of arguments being advanced to justify adoption of US style fair use exceptions to copyright law in countries that currently do not have it. Although I outline the background on global initiatives to introduce copyright exceptions, the focus of the analysis is on the Australian Law Reform Commissions' (ALRC) recent Discussion Paper, which has recommended adoption of broad fair use exceptions to copyright law Australia. This study can be seen as representative of the analysis promoting such reforms globally. In this context the paper also considers empirical studies relied on by the ALRC which have attempted to estimate the economic effects of what they call copyright exceptions industries (CEI) that rely on exceptions to copyright law. These studies in effect attempt to assert that exceptions to copyright law might make a larger economic contribution than copyright law itself. These studies are being promoted to the ALRC and in other copyright law reform processes as providing empirical economic analysis of the economic benefits of copyright exceptions like fair use. To that extent this paper seeks to assess their strengths and weaknesses and whether they are “fit for purpose”. My general conclusion is that moves to extend copyright exceptions in response to the development of the digital economy are mistaken in that it will only serve to reduce incentives for the development of new creative works, which in turn is likely to reduce overall social welfare. Rather I argue the development of the digital economy requires the opposite response - namely the strengthening of copyright and the limiting of exceptions. The reason why is that the Internet has served to reduce transaction costs. Transactions costs provide the basic rationale and define the economic scope for fair use exceptions. To the extent transactions costs are falling, the benefits of fair use also fall. The scope for fair use to contribute to innovation and economic growth is thus reduced. This necessitates a reduction in the extent of fair use laws rather than an extension.
Download or read book Economic Analysis of Copyright Notice written by Peter S. Menell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notice of preexisting rights plays a critical role in resource planning. This article focuses on the history, role, institutions, costs, and efficacy of notice within the domain of expressive creativity. It distinguishes between two sets of copyright notice challenges: tracing of copyright ownership and assessing the scope of copyright protection. Tracing issues - linking copyrighted works to subsistence information about the works and contact information about their owners - are largely solvable through implementation of existing and developing technological means (such digital content recognition), international standardization, and reform of obsolete legal rules, most notably Berne Convention limits on formalities. The inherent uncertainty surrounding copyright scope, however, stands in the way of copyright notice nirvana - a transparent database of fully specified copyright resources and reliable tools for determining liability exposure ex ante. Unlike tracing of subsistence and ownership information, current or foreseeable technology alone cannot solve the problem of forewarning the public of the precise boundaries of copyright interests. Nonetheless, other notice-failure based adjustments to the copyright system can ameliorate scope clarity concerns. Such reforms would enhance copyright notice, ensure copyright protection, and promote cumulative creativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the recent debate about copyright law and its impact on the distribution of scientific knowledge from an economic perspective. The focus is on the question whether a copyright regime or an open access regime is better suited to the norms and organizational structure in a purely global science community. The book undertakes a thorough economic analysis of the academic journal market and showcases consequences of a regime change. It also takes account of the Digital Divide debate, reflecting issues in developing countries. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of legal action in the light of international Intellectual Property (IP) agreements offers prospects on the future of academic publishing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 12 September 2018 the European Parliament approved the new version of the proposal for a Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market elaborated by the European Commission in 2016. In order to address problems in protecting content and improve the bargaining position of press publishers against information society service providers, the European Commission decided to intervene on rights, introducing an additional layer of copyright, namely a new neighbouring right that will cover reproduction and the making available to the public of press publications to the extent that digital uses are concerned. The proposed reform has produced a spate of comments and criticism, since it has for the most part been interpreted as unjustified, ineffective and damaging. In particular, the new right appears to be without economic or legal justification, since there is no evidence of a market failure which the legislation would need to solve.The paper aims to scrutinise the world of online news and its business models, as well as the complex framework of the much-debated EU copyright reform and the overall effects of the introduction of the new right.
