      abstract = {Technology and the Internet have triggered important  changes to how creative works are created and accessed, and  how creators and copyright-based industries generate their  revenues. During the past decade, digital content markets  have exhibited double-digit growth rates across industry  sectors and increasing shares of total revenues. In  addition, new types of content, novel content producers and  innovative ways of manipulating and modifying digital  content are burgeoning. This chapter reassesses the  economics of copyright in the light of these changes. It  starts with an introduction to the economics of copyright  followed by an overview of the changes to the baseline  copyright economics model and a summary the existing  economic literature and resulting data needs. While this  chapter focuses on copyright, it is worthwhile noting that  other forms of intellectual property rights (IPRs) such as  patents, industrial designs and trademarks also matter in  the digital economy, both for physical products such as  smartphones and tablet computers and for intangible  products such as software and social networks. Furthermore,  although this chapter exclusively refers to copyright, it  is worthwhile clarifying that in addition to copyright  vested in authors, international treaties also recognize  related rights, vested in performers, phonogram producers  and broadcasting organizations.},
