How to Best Ensure Remuneration for Creators in the Market for Music? Copyright and its Alternatives (2006, methodology): “Rob and Waldfogel (2006) use data based on a survey of American college students and Zentner (2006) uses data based upon a survey of consumers in several European countries.”
Social Media, Traditional Media, and Music Sales (2014, background): “Similarly, Zentner (2006) finds that peer-to-peer usage reduces the probability of buying music by 30%.”
Cultural Industries: Product–Market Characteristics, Management Challenges and Industry Dynamics (2015, neutral): “While piracy reduces sales (Ahn and Yoon 2009; De Vany and Walls 2007; Klein and Slonaker 2010; Liebowitz 2008; Zentner 2006), the effect is not necessarily purely negative for the company or the artist.”
File Sharing and Copyright (2010, background): “As Zentner (2006) points out, some individuals might play down their file sharing because they understand it is illegal.”
File Sharing: Creative Destruction or Just Plain Destruction?* (2006, methodology): “These numbers appear to be considerably higher than the European value of 9 percent reported by Zentner (2006) based on the October 2001 European Forrester Research survey, but that survey asked if users “regularly” downloaded music, so the two are not strictly comparable.”
The Effect of Graduated Response Anti-Piracy Laws on Music Sales: Evidence from an Event Study in France (2014, background): “We find that increased consumer awareness of HADOPI caused French iTunes music sales to increase by 22-25%.”
The sharing economy: Why people participate in collaborative consumption (2016, neutral): “For example, Huang (2005) studies norms and motivations associated with peer-to-peer music sharing, whereas Zentner (2006) focuses on the effects of music sharing on record sales.”
