Abstract
This paper investigates how hardware and/or blank media firms remunerate software publishers. If a software publisher is able to produce copy-protected software, the levy rate can be decided by negotiation between the software publisher and levy payers without the intervention of government. This paper examines conditions under which the remuneration scheme succeeds in compensating the software publisher for loss of profits due to copying.
