Who gets value--particularly money--from intellectual property, especially when digital media are involved? You can learn about royalties and other compensation schemes from organizations such as Publications Rights Clearinghouse (www.nwu.org/prc/prchome.htm), Copyright Clearance Center (www.copyright.com), The Authors Registry (www.webcom.com/registry), ASCAP (www.ascap.com), and BMI (www.bmi.com). You can find discussions of framing, linking, packaging and other economic issues at the Second International Harvard Conference on Internet and Society, cyber.law.harvard.edu/cybercon98/asp/splash.asp (click topics, then Law). In 1997, Harvard University hosted a conference on Internet Publishing and Beyond: Economics of Digital Information and Intellectual Property. You can find copies of the conference papers, which focus on a variety of economic issues at ksgwww.harvard.edu/iip/econ/econ.html. Digital object identifier technology is a proposed solution to protecting copyright online. You can learn about this new technology in the article "The Digital Object Identifier: Solving the Dilemma of Copyright Protection Online," from the Journal of Electronic Publishing at www.press.umich.edu/jep/03-02/doi.html.
