Books like Walled culture by Glyn Moody

Name: Walled culture
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: Glyn Moody

Walled Culture is the first book providing a compact, non-technical history of digital copyright and its problems over the last 30 years, and the social, economic and technological implications. This book recounts the origins and unfolding of that historic clash of irreconcilable ideas by diving into how: - Big Content have lobbied lawmakers in the US, the EU, and elsewhere to pass harsh laws in an attempt to forbid people from accessing and sharing content; - As a result, the immense power of the Internet is being throttled, and the knowledge and culture that could flow freely to everyone is being walled up for a select few; and, - We are losing so much just to prop up outdated and inefficient business models, and what could be done to unleash the Internet’s full potential and fairly remunerate creators by breaking down those walls.
