Abstract
The digitization of media goods weakened the effective strength of copyright policy by allowing widespread sharing of media files over the Internet, forcing governments to consider how to reform copyright policy to reflect the digital era and forcing firms to consider new strategies in order to compete with online piracy. This paper reviews the economic evidence on the effectiveness of various government antipiracy interventions as well as firm strategies aimed at mitigating piracy’s impact. By synthesizing the results of various studies, we provide insights on the principles that drive the degree of success or failure of various antipiracy policies. This study should be of value to policymakers and rightsholders considering copyright reform initiatives, and also to researchers looking for guidance toward what questions remain important but unanswered by current academic literature.
Main Results of the Study
- Antipiracy efforts are most effective when both government and firms take action to deter piracy and promote legal content.* Further studies are necessary to determine the optimal amount of government enforcement.
Policy Implications as Stated By Author
- Examines the effectiveness of government antipiracy interventions* Piracy levels have been found to drop most significantly when two things occur - it is more convenient to access content via legitimate methods such as subscription streaming services, and illegal downloading is much less convenient due to the threat of punitive action* Antipiracy methods should therefore provide greater access to content by legal methods at the same time as targeting the illegal methods
