Focusing on the concept of subjectivity within copyright law, this work delves into the perspectives of authors, users, and pirates. It employs a relational framework to explore how these different stakeholders interact with and perceive copyright, highlighting the complexities and nuances of intellectual property in a modern context. Through this analysis, the book aims to challenge traditional notions and provoke thought about ownership and creativity in the digital age.
New study provides an overview of the consequences of a platform-dependent press. Platform dependence is a concept that is used to describe what happens when businesses or an entire sector become reliant on one or more digital platforms for their survival. Digital Platforms and the Press argues that we face a major risk of a platform-dependent press--a development that threatens liberal democracies across the world. As James Meese shows, the situation is occurring across the news industry, to the extent that it is difficult to imagine the production, distribution, and long-term survival of news in liberal democracies without the involvement of platforms. As governments, regulators, and citizens become increasingly concerned about platform power, Digital Platforms and the Press is the first book to highlight the long-term economic and social consequences of platform dependence for the news sector.
