Klip Acknowledgements This book is the result of doctoral research performed at the Department of Criminal Law of Tilburg Law School. I must say that the Department turned out to be a very inspiring and pleasant environment in which to do scientific research. It proved to be well worth the daily one-hour return rail journey from Utrecht to the campus of Tilburg University. This research could not have been conducted without the support of several other people. Most gratitude by far must be extended to two persons. I owe many thanks to Marc Groenhuijsen. It has been a great honour to work under the coaching of such an outstanding academic. You have read all my drafts from beginning to end and I am so grateful for your useful comments time and time again. I also look back with pleasure on our substantive talks on this research, but also on other issues of criminal law and societal developments. Many thanks must also be extended to Joep Simmelink for his unremitting support and kindness. The distance between our working places in the last two years did not affect your interest in me and my work. Marc and Joep, the two of you have given me much freedom to make my own choices and to develop my own style of doing research and writing. It has been a great experience to work under the supervision of such a golden team. Special thanks go to Cyrille Fijnaut for his willingness to involve me in several kinds of projects (conferences, book editing) and to introduce me to so many people. Also, his love of books combined with his generosity resulted in a significant growth of my personal book collection. I have appreciated it all so much. Your dedication and contribution to the disciplines of criminal law and criminology can only be regarded with deep respect. Let me also mention James Jacobs and Daniel Richman who were willing to meet me during my stay in the USA, and who provided me with useful information and advice. The same gratitude must go to Sabine Gless and Martin Killias who welcomed me in Switzerland and who also spent time and energy reading and commenting on my manuscript. The warm welcome from the four of you, and the enthusiastic reaction to my research topic were very encouraging for me to continue studying the huge amount of information I had to wade through. In addition, I Intersentia v Quid Pro Quo? am very grateful to André Klip and Monica Claes who took the time to read and comment upon my manuscript. Furthermore, I must mention Theo de Roos, one of the nicest and most accessible professors I have ever met. Though not directly involved in my research project, we cooperated on a regular basis with regard to topics of international and European criminal law. In 2006, Theo presented me to the Meijers Committee (the Standing Committee of Experts on International Immigration, Refugee and Criminal Law), of which I am now a member. Being involved in this unique group of people has deepened my interest and passion for the field of criminal law and the position of vulnerable groups of people therein. Indirectly, that has surely contributed to my personal development as a critical researcher. Finally, I have been lucky to be able to benefit from the fabulous collections of the Max-Planck-Institut für ausländisches und internationales Strafrecht (Freiburg i.Br., Germany), the Law Libraries of Basle University and the University of Zürich (both Switzerland), and the Law Libraries of New York University School of Law and Columbia Law School (both New York, NY, USA). Thanks to all those who facilitated my stay at these places. Utrecht, December 2010. vi Intersentia sUMMARY of contents Acknowledgements. v List of Abbreviations. xix INTRODUCTION 1.

    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.
