3. Harmony of interest assumption between authors and publishers (creators and producers/investors)

From Copyright EVIDENCE

This field includes studies that examine the common assumption of a harmony of interests between creators (e.g. authors, performers) and investors (e.g. publishers, producers), a simplifying hypothesis that facilitates analytical solutions, which however finds weak empirical support. Papers included under this category also examine collecting societies and relate to the area of contract theory.
