UK Royalty Group Wants Piracy “Cap and Trade” ISP Levy
- anigbrowl 16y agoI will buy into a proposal like this when it comes with a commitment to using a specific methodology - one biased in favor of maximizing revenue to small content creators rather than high-profile ones who already derive economic benefit from celebrity. However, I do think this is a step in the right direction and worth reading, because it eschews the usual 'OMG pirates' for a more pragmatic economic analysis, cautiously endorses the economic benefits of 'fair use' and non-commercial reuse, and abandons the adversarial approach in pursuit of a more stable equilibrium. http://www.prsformusic.com/creators/news/research/Documents/Will%20Page%20and%20David%20Touve%20(2010)%20Moving%20Digital%20Britain%20Forward%20without%20leaving%20Creative%20Britain%20behind.pdf http://www.prsformusic.com/creators/news/research/Documents/...
