With the sound of the G-20s breast-beating about the dangers of protectionism still echoing, it is remarkable to read a NYT piece recounting the entertainment industry's complaints about its inability to enforce its copyright monopolies, without any economic analysis of the cost of this protectionism to the economy. The economic losses from copyright protection are far greater than the losses from other forms of protectionism.
It would be desirable to include some economic analysis in these articles. (For example, see David Levine's excellent "Against Monopoly" website.)
Unlike many news organizations, the Prospect has remained staunchly committed to keeping our journalism free and accessible to all. We believe that independent journalism is crucial for a functioning democracy—but quality reporting comes at a cost. From Trump’s threat to the free press to Musk’s influence on our democracy, there is too much at stake in 2025 to stop now.
We’re behind on our goal to raise $75,000 to continue delivering the hard-hitting investigative journalism you’ve come to expect from us. Your support helps us maintain our independence and dig deeper into the stories that matter most.
We need you to make a year-end contribution today. Any amount helps secure our future and ensure we can continue holding power to account.
