According to the theory of transaction cost, we know that transaction costs play an important role in all deal makings that might affect dealmaker’s decision. Thus how to make a deal through negotiation is an important issue. In chapter 1, it is how important of negotiation and dealmaking of copyright agreements. And in chapter 2, writer combined theories of transaction cost, negotiation analysis and definition of copyright, then tried to make a model to explain how dealmakers doing in negotiation and making the deal at chapter 3. In chapter 4, writer took examples from U.S. film and television industries that how professional copyright attorney Mark Litwak advising to dealmakers. By using the model in former chapter, we may know what is happening in the making of entertainment copyright agreements. Then in chapter 5, writer made a comparison of U.S. copyright agreements and Taiwan’s official examples to find any advantages that we can learn from a more mature entertainment industry in U.S., like some special clause design in order to make dealmakers away from information asymmetry and uncertain risks. In conclusion, writer thought that negotiation and contract design are big issues in dealmaking of copyright agreements, but it might be too early for Taiwan which has more problems on the value chain of its entertainment industry before copyright negotiating issues.
