Description:
How are ?grey market? imports changing media
industries? What is the role of piracy in developing new markets
for movies and TV shows? How do jailbroken iPhones drive
innovation?
Ă‚Â
The Informal Media Economy provides a vivid, original, and
genuinely transnational account of contemporary media, by showing
how the interactions between formal and informal media systems are
a feature of all nations ? rich and poor, large and
small.
Ă‚Â
Shifting the focus away from the formal businesses and public
enterprises that have long occupied media researchers, this book
charts a parallel world of cultural intermediaries driving global
media production and circulation. It shows how unlicensed, untaxed,
or unregulated networks, which operate across the boundaries of
established media markets, have been a driving force of media
industry transformation. The book opens up new insights on a range
of topical issues in media studies, from the creative disruptions
of digitisation to amateur production, piracy and cybercrime.
