Copyright and Business Models of Music in the Era of the Internet

Possibilities of Weaker Copyright

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a business model suitable for the era of the Internet. For this, we examine the possibilities of distributing free music protected by weaker copyright, which accords moral rights priority over property rights. As a result, we testify that weaker copyright has promotional effects because information is easily and widely distributed among people, and it is possible to make profits with supplementing goods such as live concert tickets.
