Lecture three
Description:International Music Marketing and Music Copyright Law.This class examines the cultural, legal and business characteristics of international markets for recorded music. We will examine cultural trends and barriers in various international markets, the legal discrepancies, local media, and how music is marketed and distributed in these markets. We will look at music generated in these markets as well as the potential for the sale of mainstream popular music to these markets—production and consumption. We will examine repertoire, market share, media, publishing, live performance, piracy, parallel imports, and other elements region by region.
This class also discusses music copyrights that play a critical role in the music business. There are really two copyrights that exist in almost every recording: one for the song and one for the particular recorded performance of that song. When most people refer to a “song” they mean a recording of a particular song, not just the musical composition. In “copyrightland” those two different works have distinct meanings and rights. This class will explain two important rights: musical compositions(songs)and sound recording. A songwriter composes a song and a recording artist makes a recording of that song. Whenever the recording is sold ,downloaded, or played ,both works are being used. That means that both copyright owners may be entitled to some compensation for the use of their works. Copyrights in musical compositions provide important revenues for music publishers and songwriters and protection from unauthorized use of their songs. Copyrights in sound recordings, as distinguished from the song that is recorded, typically belong to the record company, less frequently to the recording artist or producer.

Lecture seven
Description:This lecture is mainly based on the Long Tail Theory of books and the Comparative Advantage Theory in international trade. According to Chris Anderson (2006), products in low demand or that have a low sales volume can collectively build a better market share than their rivals, or exceed the relatively few current bestsellers and blockbusters, provided the store or distribution channel is large enough. The Long Tail Theory is also popular in the book publishing market. Comparative advantage means that a country produces a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than other countries (AMADEO, 2020). And opportunity cost measures a trade-off that a country with a comparative advantage makes worthwhile, resulting in the benefits of buying its goods or services outweighing the disadvantages (ibid.). In international trade, the theory of comparative advantage is regarded as a very important theoretical basis.
This lecture examines the characteristics of the development of the international book publishingmarket, the economic processes and factors that shape it, and thetrends and speeds in different book publishing markets.
The structure of this lecture is to analyze the development status of the international book publishing market, the country comparison of the international book publishing market, the going out of China's book publishing industry, and thecase study.
Based on the introduction of China's book publishing market, combine relevant overviews and policies, and analyze the countermeasures for China's cultural goingout will become the main objectfor students to discussin class.
