Abstract:
We report results from a large recent study of the public domain in the European Union. Based on a combination of catalogue and survey data we provide figures for the "size" of the public domain extending across a variety of media. In addition, combining our size figures with material on price, sales and usage we have obtained estimates of the overall "value of the public domain". Our work provides one of the first quantitative estimates of the `size' and 'value' of the public domain in any jurisdiction and also has direct relevance to current policy questions such as term extension and archive digitization.
