Abstract
⺠We present a model of music piracy with endogenous copying costs. ⺠Copying costs decrease as the number of originals sold increases. ⺠The sales of stars' music suffer more from piracy than those of smaller artists. ⺠Yet piracy can increase the recognition of an artist's music. ⺠Stars, but not smaller artists, offset sales losses with recognition-related income.
