Copyfight : firing up conversation about copyright Edited by Phillipa McGuinness

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Sydney : UNSW Press , 2015Description: ix, 294 p. : ill. ; 21 cmISBN:
  • 9781742231150
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 346.048 CO PY
Online resources: Summary: Copyright is one of the central economic and creative issues of our time. We expect to be able to log on, and read, watch or listen to anything, anywhere, anytime. Then copy it, share it, quote it, sample it, remix it. Does this leave writers, designers, filmmakers, musicians, photographers, artists, and software and game developers with any rights at all? Have we forgotten how to pay for content? Is the concept of making a living from creative work outdated? Without effective copyright protection will key Australian businesses collapse? And perhaps the biggest question: has illegal downloading become the biggest industry of all and copyright violation a way of life?
