摘要

This research looks at the effects of copyright terms on the availability of music by exploiting recent law changes introduced under EU Directive 77/2011 as well as random variation in author death years. Results suggest that public domain status of recording rights favors the availability and re-release of classical music in physical and digital formats. The emergence of music streaming services in EU member states and catalog-wide licensing moderate effects over time. We however find little evidence that public domain status of author rights affects the distribution of music in digital or physical channels. We contemplate the implications of our results for intellectual property policy.
