    Empirical Assessment of Copyright Enforcement: A Comparative Study of the Music Industry in the P.R.C. and the R.O.C. By Gi-Kuen Li A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science in the Graduate Division Of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Robert P. Merges, Chair Professor Peter S. Menell Professor Brian D. Wright Spring 2016 Empirical Assessment of Copyright Enforcement: A Comparative Study of the Music Industry in the P.R.C. and the R.O.C. Copyright © 2016 by Gi-Kuen Jacob Li Abstract Abstract Empirical Assessment of Copyright Enforcement: A Comparative Study of the Music Industry in the P.R.C. and the R.O.C. by Gi-Kuen Jacob Li Doctor of Juridical Science University of California, Berkeley Professor Robert P. Merges, Chair Since 2000, the revenue of the music industry plummeted worldwide. Meanwhile, the advancement of technology created many changes that impacted the copyright law system, which raised doubts about the effectiveness and necessity of copyright law system. Many literatures related to this topic focused on the discussion about the North America and the Europe regions. In the past two decades, researchers started to explore the intellectual property right protection in the P.R.C.; however, few works emphasized the comparative perspective between the copyright protection in the P.R.C. and the R.O.C. This dissertation argues that copyright law is still important to encourage and reward creativity. Under the utilitarian rationale, copyright law should be able to maintain incentive for authors and creators.
