在一个跨期的框架中,未经授权的产品复制对企业的伤害可能比大多数静态模型预测的要大得多;一些消费者的复制减少了所有消费者的可支配剩余,包括那些没有复制倾向的消费者。然而,有些自相矛盾的是,复制的承诺价值也可能意味着复制的利润高于不复制的利润。因此,建议公司可能更喜欢差异化的版权执法,副本的承诺价值可能提供了一个战略性的解释,免费赠品的知识产权和垂直产品差异化的删节版更普遍。
In an intertemporal framework, the harm to firms from unauthorized reproduction of their products may be significantly greater than that predicted by most static models; copying by some consumers reduces the appropriable surplus from all consumers—including those consumers lacking any propensity to copy. Somewhat paradoxically, however, the commitment value of copies may also imply that profits are higher with copying than without copying. It is therefore suggested that firms may prefer differential copyright enforcement and that the commitment value of copies may offer a strategic explanation for free giveaways of abridged versions of intellectual property and vertical product differentiation more generally.
