Automated Copyright FiltersA Law and Economics Analysis\nAuthor(s): Oliver Englisch\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031831607, 978-3031831607\nSynopsis\nThe automated filtering of upload attempts to online platforms is one of the most contentious issues in the fields of copyright enforcement and platform regulation. Notwithstanding the impassioned debate, research from a law and economics perspective is scarce.\n\nThis book presents the first comprehensive economic analysis of automated copyright filtering. The author develops an economic model of the competition between right holders and copyright-infringing uploaders on a platform. Furthermore, he applies insights from the economic literature on decision-making under uncertainty and incentive alignment to automated copyright filtering.\n\nThe analysis disentangles complex relationships and challenges prevailing assumptions. .
