SHOULD COPYRIGHT OF ACADEMIC WORKS BE ABOLISHED?

---

ABSTRACT
The conventional rationale for copyright of written works, that copyright is needed
to foster their creation, is seemingly of limited applicability to the academic domain.
For in a world without copyright of academic writing, academics would still
benefi t from publishing in the major way that they do now, namely, from gaining
scholarly esteem. Yet publishers would presumably have to impose fees on authors
because publishers would no longer be able to profi t from reader charges. If
these author publication fees would actually be borne by academics, their incentives
to publish would be reduced. But if the publication fees would usually be paid
by universities or grantors, the motive of academics to publish would be unlikely to
decrease (and could actually increase)—suggesting that ending academic copyright
would be socially desirable in view of the broad benefi ts of a copyright-free
world. If so, the demise of academic copyright should probably be achieved by a
change in law, for the “open access” movement that effectively seeks this objective
without modifi cation of the law faces fundamental diffi culties.
