Copyright, Creativity, Big Media and Cultural Value: Incorporating the Author

Synopsis

As the publishing, film and music industries are dominated by Big Media conglomerates, there is often recourse to simplistic ideological and conspiratorial readings of industry dynamics.　Copyright, Creativity, Big Media & Cultural Value: Incorporating the Author　explains why copyright is much more than a creator’s private property right or a mechanism through which corporations control cultural production and influence mass consumption choices. 　 The volume is grounded in extensive, painstakingly detailed and colourful original archival research into business histories of major successful artists　including Conan Doyle, Hall Caine, Margaret Atwood, Dame Nellie Melba, Radiohead and Banksy,　and the industries and genres that grew up around their activities. Chapters address big questions about how copyright generates income and how distributions of profits are allocated in the publishing, film and music industries. It includes discussion of the creation of new formats, the interplay between old media and new technologies, international copyright reform and cross-industry relations. 　 Copyright, Creativity, Big Media & Cultural Value　is a wide-ranging and important resource for students and practitioners of law and policy, media studies, cultural studies and literary history.
