Infringement is prolific, difficult to catch, and expensive to stop. Even before the internet, it would be impossible to know how many people were, say, tape-recording a song off the radio. If by some miracle you were able to find them all, it wouldn't be worth your while to take action against them. The internet makes it exponentially easier to infringe, and exponentially more difficult to stop.
Externalities and market failure will result from the difficulty of enforcing property rights.

One can make money off copyright by licensing their work to others for use, selling their work to publishers or distributors, or by enforcing their rights against those who use their work without permission.
If it is no longer protected by copyright, there are no rights to obtain.
"Regime" is just a fancy way of saying "system" or "government," so a copyright regime is just a system of copyright laws. Copyright laws protect creative works such as books, music, art, and more, by giving the creator exclusive rights to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the work, or authorize others to do so, for a limited time.
The NCC attempts to promote respect of others' IP rights, while reducing or eliminating piracy. Their focus is enforcing copyright law to benefit Nigerian artists, rather than consumer rights. However, as piracy becomes less common, the consumer can have a better chance of knowing that their support of artists, in the form of CD sales, really supports the artists, not counterfeiters.
Copyright law is designed to ascribe exclusive rights to the creator of a work.
Governments have difficulty enforcing unpopuler laws.
it protect the rights of authors creativity
Copyright refers to the set of exclusive rights of an author or artist regarding reproducing, distributing, displaying, performing or modifying their works, among other rights, as well as a set of additional legal restrictions on others under the copyright laws. In most countries, copyright is instantly and automatically owned by anyone who puts any creative work of authorship into a tangible form, whether it is pencil on paper, lines in the sand, sounds on an audio tape recorder, or bits stored in computer memory. There are a few statutory limitations on enforcing these rights, such as the "fair use" of limited portions of a copyrighted work for permitted purposes. Others have said: copyright is basically material held by television movie etc companies and you have the right to use that material and put in video's
Not much. The Copyright Act defines the exclusive rights of the creator of an artistic work, as well as exceptions to those rights.
The potential implications of copyright abolition on the creative industry and intellectual property rights could include decreased incentives for creators to produce original work, increased difficulty in protecting and monetizing intellectual property, and potential negative impacts on the overall economy due to reduced innovation and investment in creative industries.
