In nine of our eleven prior economic reports on the
copyright industries, we divided the copyright industries
into four groups: core, partial, distribution, and
copyright related; these were the sectors we developed
and defined in our first report issued in 1990.
In our 2004 and 2006 reports, we still used four categories,
but in order to conform to the international
standard, we relied upon the four copyright categories
defined by WIPO: core, partial, non-dedicated support,
and interdependent.
The core copyright industries are those industries
whose primary purpose is to create, produce, distribute
or exhibit copyright materials. These industries
include books, newspapers and periodicals, motion
pictures, recorded music (including both music and
sound recordings), radio and television broadcasting,
and computer software (including both business applications
and entertainment software).
Partial copyright industries are industries in which
only some aspect or portion of the products that they
create they can quality for copyright protection. These
industries range from fabric to jewelry to furniture to
toys and games.
The third group, non-dedicated support industries, includes
industries that distribute both copyright and
non-copyright protected materials to business and
consumers. Examples here include transportation
services, telecommunications and wholesale and retail
trade. As in past studies, only a portion of the total
value added by these industries is considered to be
part of the copyright industries.
The fourth group involves the interdependent industries,
those that produce, manufacture, and sell
equipment whose function is primarily to facilitate the
creation, production, or use of works of copyrighted
matter. These industries include manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers of CD players, TV sets, VCRs,
personal computers and usage dependent products
including blank recording material and certain categories
of paper.
We refer to the four groups together – core, partial,
non-dedicated support, and interdependent – as the
“total” copyright industries.
