Description
Summary:A post-payment copyright system is used to legalize copyrighted music files which user has obtained illegally. We compare a post-payment copyright system to an online music shop by analyzing three scenarios using techno-economic modeling and risk analysis. According to our analysis, a post-payment copyright system is potentially a more profitable business than an online shop when no media replacement is required. Our research is a continuation to the trend of studies suggesting peer-to-peer networks as a part of a viable business model for media distribution.
