This book addresses the recent debate about copyright law and its
impact on the distribution of scientific knowledge from an economic
perspective. The focus is on the question whether a copyright
regime or an open access regime is better suited to the norms and
organizational structure in a purely global science community. The
book undertakes a thorough economic analysis of the academic
journal market and showcases consequences of a regime change. It
also takes account of the Digital Divide debate, reflecting issues
in developing countries. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of legal
action in the light of international Intellectual Property (IP)
agreements offers prospects on the future of academic publishing.
