The value of licensing recorded music online
Une étude néerlandaise évalue, pour le bien-être collectif, l'intérêt d'un système de compensation du droit d'auteur appliqué à la musique enregistrée en ligne.
This paper discusses whether a copyright compensation system (CCS) for recorded music—endowing private Internet subscribers with the right to download and use works in return for a fee—would be welfare increasing. It reports on the results of a discrete choice experiment conducted with a representative sample of the Dutch population consisting of 4986 participants. Under some conservative assumptions, we find that applied only to recorded music, a mandatory CCS could increase the welfare of rights holders and users in the Netherlands by over €600 million per year (over €35 per capita). This far exceeds current rights holder revenues from the market of recorded music of ca. €144 million per year. http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10824-015-9251-8 the value of licensing recorded music online
