Abstract
Since 2000, the revenue of the music industry has plummeted worldwide. Meanwhile, the advancement of technology has created many changes that has transformed the copyright law system, raising doubts about the effectiveness and necessity of copyright law system. This article conducts comparative and qualitative research on the music industry of mainland China and Taiwan, to study the effect of copyright law enforcement to the music industry. In mainland China, the laws, enforcement campaigns, and judicial decisions did not create significant impact on average citizens nor the creative industries. On the contrary, through copyright law legislation and amendments, enforcement, judicial decisions, unspoken rules, and business practices, the notion to respect copyright have been embedded in most people’s minds in Taiwan. It was believed that copyright, manifests in its various of forms, is the keystone to the environment that attracted talent all over the Greater China region to Taiwan.
