How Big Media Uses Technology and the Law to Lock Down Culture and Control Creativity
- Resource Type:
- Books
This book documents how copyright power has expanded substantially since 1974 in five critical dimensions:
- duration (from 32 to 95 years),
- scope (from publishers to virtually everyone),
- reach (to every view on a computer),
- control (including "derivative works" defined so broadly that virtually any new content could be sued by some copyright holder as a "derivative work" of something), and
- concentration and integration of the media industry
