Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis; Jacco Hakfoort. Chapter 3 in his online document Copyright protection: not more, but different. "Economists have developed models to describe the trade-off between underproduction, underutilization and the costs of enforcement of the copyrights regime.
