报告内容摘要：

We investigate how a firm selling a newly developed digital product is affected by piracy in terms of pricing, quality disclosure strategy and profitability.  We consider a monopolistic digital-good firm and the quality information of its product is unknown to prospective customers. The firm can choose to disclose the quality information at a nonzero fixed cost to resolve the quality uncertainty confronting consumers.  We unexpectedly find that, in equilibrium, the firm's profit may strictly decrease with the difficulty or cost of pirating when the true product quality is not too high such that the firm will choose not to disclose quality information. This is because, with higher piracy cost, the firm has more incentives to disclose the quality and, as a result, rational customers' quality belief conditional on nondisclosure is lower, which leads to a lower profit the firm can obtain.  We further extend our model in several aspects.  Related managerial implications are discussed.
