一些经济学家断言，随着有价值的作品从受版权保护的状态过渡到公共领域，它们将得不到充分利用，其价值也会消失。其他人则坚持认为，如果没有所有者控制其使用，有价值的公共领域作品将被过度利用或以其他方式贬低。这项对 1913-32 年最有价值的音乐作品的研究表明，这两种假设都不成立，因为它适用于 1968-2007 年电影中歌曲的利用。当作品落入公共领域时，它们更有可能在电影中被利用，这表明没有充分利用。而且这些公共领域歌曲的开发率并不高于版权歌曲，表明不存在拥塞外部性。市场失灵的存在可能是由于生产者和消费者的自我监管。
Some economists assert that as valuable works transition from copyrighted status and fall into the public domain they will be underexploited and their value dissipated. Others insist instead that without an owner to control their use, valuable public domain works will be overexploited or otherwise debased. This study of the most valuable musical compositions from 1913-32 demonstrates that neither hypothesis is true as it applies to the exploitation of songs in movies from 1968-2007. When compositions fall into the public domain, they are more likely to be exploited in movies, suggesting no under-exploitation. And the rate of exploitation of these public domain songs is no greater than that of copyrighted songs, indicating no congestion externality. The absence of market failure is likely due to producer and consumer self-regulation.
