Abstract Antino and his coauthors study the economic impact of piracy on the supply chain of information goods (e.g., music, movies, TV shows, video games, ebooks, and software). When information goods are sold to consumers via a retailer, a moderate dose of piracy may have a surprising positive impact on the manufacturer’s and the retailer’s profits, while simultaneously enhancing consumer welfare. Such a "win-win-win" situation is not only good for the overall supply chain but is also beneficial for the society. The authors explain that the economic rationale for this surprising result is rooted in how piracy interacts with the problem of double marginalization and provide useful insights for management and policy.
