Abstract
The article considers the role of copyright as an incentive to creativity in the era of platforms. Itself a form of regulation, copyright works through markets in the creative industries and those markets have changed radically due to platformisation. Although copyright enables creators and performers to earn from their work, only a very few can support themselves from royalties. The article relates specifically to the case of streamed music, for which various legal and economic remedies have been suggested in the UK (as elsewhere). Understanding platform economics and network effects, which lead to monopolisation in these markets, is essential for regulating them.
