Copyright Economics is the study of how ideas become economic assets.

When a human being creates an original work—whether software, writing, music, engineering designs, or digital systems—that work becomes intellectual property protected by copyright law. This protection transforms creativity into capital.

Copyright allows ideas to be:

• Owned
• Licensed
• Sold
• Invested in
• Scaled across industries

This process allows human creativity to generate wealth.

Copyright is not merely a legal protection. It is an economic system that converts human thought into measurable economic value.

Entire industries—including software, publishing, film, and artificial intelligence—exist because copyright enables creators and organizations to invest in innovation with the assurance that their intellectual capital can be owned and monetized.

Copyright Economics explains how this system works and why it remains essential to modern civilization.
