|
| In the past fifteen years, file sharing of digital cultural works
| | More info via: [[Culture and the Economy in the Internet Age]] |
| 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.

| :"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

| | |
