between individuals has been at the center of a number of debates on
the future of culture itself. Sharing provides a new view of the value
of peer-to-peer sharing of digital works. Taking stock of what we have
learnt about the cultural economy in recent years,  Aigrain develops
new economic models for rewarding creativity and for valuable cultural
functions to remain sustainable.

minds to new, better ways of reaping the cultural and social benefits
of the digital revolution."

:"Philippe Aigrain (…) explains why - contrary to what is generally
stated - non-commercial sharing of cultural works by individuals is a
widely beneficial practice. Most importantly, he explores what can be
done in practice to sustain creativity in the new digital
landscape."
::Charles Nesson, Weld Professor of Law and Founder of the
Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University
 
:"More than an impassioned defense of the Creative Contribution, this
essay is a must read for anyone interested in a viable economic
structure adapted to the realities of the digital environment."
:: Milad Doueihi, Research Professor of Digital Cultures, Université Laval,
Canada
