Intellectual property - What would the music industry 5 years ago have known

Dear Reader,

I take do not like in the post-series "Intellectual Property" anticipate, but today I must comment on a daily review (18/10/2007) of the mirror: http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0, 1518, 512,095.00. html . There, under the heading " discontinued model recording industry reports that the famous singer Madonna from her previous record company Warner Music off and received a lot of money for a contract with concert promoter Live Nation. The article goes on to say (quote): " musicians can now with live performances concerts - deserve much more than by a landslide - and the associated marketing declining CD sales. "

From the review described farewell to the traditional business models in the music industry, I prefer at least for me to conclude that only / not enough my book on the topic" Intellectual property in the age of digitization and the Internet. .. Have an economic analysis of abuse calculations and protection strategies read "Well, I admit, it was a scientific work (dissertation) The material is interesting but dry and sober presents nevertheless be found in the book and the following paragraph:..

" success has to be particularly promising is the following Approach proved. Easily copied goods are offered for a small fee or waive injured players to pursue their legal claims. For a temporary deployment or demonstration of skills is hard to imitate the other hand, demands a premium price. This principle is to use some music groups. They take the abuse of their works consciously accept and hope that the accelerated market-dring-ung quickly to achieve a high level of awareness and win a large number of interest-res-sen-ten concerts.

protections for intellectual property - an overview

Dear Reader,

Why now enjoy sharing networks for music, ebooks, videos and software are so popular? There are many reasons, but the one that is crucial - more effective compared to regular retail prices low, indeed almost negligible for the purchase and the other is the lack of protection mechanisms, respectively, low costs of abuse - through digitization and the Internet. Today I'd like I only give you an overview of protection mechanisms:

first culture of determined protection

develop culturally conditioned in any society norms and values that can act as protection mechanisms for intellectual property. Under standards means interpretation independent ideas of what behavior of members of society - seems appropriate - within certain tolerances. Values are enduring beliefs that the individual, a community, or that within certain social systems for desirable or respected and lived. influence beyond the immediate objectives of norms and values, the judgments of actors on specific situations, such as the observance of property contracts, but their action plans. Recognized misconduct is punished through social sanctions such as withdrawal of friendship or ostracism. As a result of the country dominated by societal influences and largely unknown protective effect of norms and values, however, no generalizable, economic well-founded statements on the enforcement of property rights formulated in intellectual achievements. In the next posts I will therefore refrain from a closer look.

second Government-initiated protection

Government intervention in the market for intellectual goods mainly comprise

• the behavior controlling legislation ,
• the statutory collection of compulsory fees and taxes ,
• their distribution of compensation payments and subsidies, and
• the public provision of Intellectual Property .

are enshrined in laws restrictive regulations that securing exclusive Results of intellectual property rights in labor service. With their help is if the government juris-marginal conditions for the exercise of property rights and intended for the damage caused by abuse regulation. In its scope laws must be obeyed by all members of society. State institutions to control the law-abiding behavior and punish rights violations through defined Gesetzesver automatisms. With forced fees (taxes) and tax is about money demand services, public entities on the basis of legal regulations. Their discharge is controlled, sometimes sanctioned. The survey of compulsory fees particularly serves the pursuit of regulatory goals. Examples include the assigned fee includes the use of intellectual property, for example, GEZ-charge, royalty-fee, VG-word tax. In this particular case, fees charged by aiming to compensate for negative external effects of the abuse of intellectual property by compensation to rights holders. By contrast, tax revenues allocated to the budget and subject to any predetermined purpose. You can, for example, to subsidize economically desirable innovation or to refinance the state provision using innovative and creative works, such as refinancing of public service broadcasting.

third private Economical protection

The emphasis in the next few posts on the possibilities of the endogenous ex-assurance of market allocation processes by private entities. You can choose from various fraud protection and response mechanisms. To prevent abuse testing can even be waived disclosure of strategically important resources , such as knowledge or technology. In addition, capture technical protection solutions the special characteristics of the intellectual benefits which it is difficult to be observed consumer behavior arising risk of abuse. These include copy protection technologies, rights holders to submit information about adverse actions such as making illegal copies of (screening). Infor-mation asymmetries between buyers and sellers of intellectual work products and the resulting abuse incentives can also have marketing policies slow, implemented for example in differentiated services contract in the acquisition of innovative and creative works. Depending on their preferences to choose the buyers perceived as optimal bid itself, and thus their behavior, respectively intentions manifest abuse (Self Selection). To increase the attractiveness of permitted practices in dealing with intellectual property, also lends itself to the institutional merger abuse or threatened geschädig-ter-market players and potential damage to. It would be conceivable, for example, the fusion of innovators and their competitors. In view of competition policy constraints of the latter protection solution and their limited applicability to the particular interest here Anbieter-/Nachfragerbeziehung it is only considered in the next posts on the edge.

attack on the intellectual property - an excursion to abuse causes and management strategies

Dear readers,

had until a few years, especially manufacturers of promising product innovations as well as reputable fashion - suffer brands and luxury goods despite expensive legal protection economic damage caused by imitation and plagiarism (see example - taken from the Manager magazine) abuse directed today to a greater extent on providers of information goods. Information Near intellectual property such as movies and software, can - if it does not exists as such - with simple technical assistance funds be transferred to a digital format. proves the greatest challenge of digitizing that requires the making of digital copies of a few seconds, caused negligible cost, and digital copies are completely identical to their original. This fact makes the one hand developers and producers to produce in a short time cost perfect copies of any number of re-use. On the other hand, increases the risk of abuse, as prospective drawn with respect to changes in cost / benefit ratio also

• the circumvention of licensing or royalty fees into the equation and / or
• as a provider of facility to use spiritual and creative achievements occur , to participate without the right holders of the revenue.

Although the radical consequences of the ongoing digitization of the markets today can be seen only in part is obvious that the Internet is simplified further abuse. get over this global computing and communications network perpetrator access to a virtually unlimited amount of valuable economic information. These can, if they are not offered free to acquire a relatively simple means and without pay. Also, there is almost no barrier, digital piracy at any time disclose online, eg via P2P file-sharing. Given the intensification networked communications, and the increasingly easy, fast and inexpensive electronic information distribution must therefore be on the Internet with new forms and dimensions of the abuse of intellectual property expected.

would deliver in the next post I especially answers to the following questions:

• What facilitates the abuse or hinder the protection of intellectual property?
• what degree do the digitization and the Internet impact on abuse and protection decisions?
• What are the economic objectives are the abuse and the protection of the results pursuing creative work?
• go hand in hand with what economic consequences of abuse and protection measures for the development, allocation and use of innovative and creative works?
• What measures are particularly effective, respectively ineffective in the prevention and detection of harmful behaviors?

I would like to invite you warmly at this point to comment on this subject with discussions.
