Abstract
Copyright-based industries are those parts of the economy which depend on copyright to invest, produce, distribute, and sell. There has been significant interest in the economic exploitation of copyright in recent years in light of substantial growth of investment in and output of copyright-based industries around the world. Moreover, country-specific studies suggest that copyright industries have grown faster than the whole economy in most countries, signalling their importance for economic growth. This study attempts to fill the gaps in the data and economic analysis in this area by estimating the contribution and trend of copyright-based industries in the Canadian economy. The main variables of interest this study explores are value-added and employment. The study is based on the framework developed by the World Intellectual Property Organization, so as to make international comparisons possible. Specifically, the study compares the contribution of the core copyright-based industries in Canada with that of the United States and the European Union. The study also updates and complements previous Canadian studies in this area.
