The available quantitative data on authors’ and artists’ earnings come from three different sources: (1) government statistics (census, labour market surveys, tax); (2) questionnaire surveys of specific professional groups; and (3) collecting society payments. For the purposes of assessing the possible contribution of copyright law to authors’ and artists’ earnings, two aspects are of particular interest. (a) The level and distribution of earnings for cultural workers, compared to other professions; (b) Earnings from the principal artistic activity compared to other sources of earnings.
In this paper, I primarily review data for the UK but draw on comparable studies in Germany and the US, two of the best researched cultural markets. |
