The story of YouTube, the global phenomenon which single-handedly upended traditional media and transformed Google into one of the world's most profitable companies.
Since 2005, YouTube has exploded, giving a platform to unique and valuable voices, but also to propaganda, misinformation and illicit videos. The algorithm which determines whether a channel lives or dies - how or when videos are seen, and how much creators earn through advertising - is notoriously secretive, remaining a mystery to consumers and broadcasters alike. At the same time, the site is massively profitable for parent company Google, helping turn it into one of the most influential powers on the planet.
In Like, Comment, Subscribe, Bloomberg tech journalist Mark Bergen delivers the definitive account on YouTube, detailing how it started, how it works and ultimately how it drives Google's success. It can be seen as the story of a technical marvel that has upended traditional media and created stars out of everyday people, or the story of the rise of a ruthless advertising conglomerate with little regard for its impact on the world beyond the bottom line - but in reality, it's the story of both.

Written on the occasion of copyright's 300th anniversary, John
Tehranian's Infringement Nation presents an engaging and accessible
analysis of the history and evolution of copyright law and its
profound impact on the lives of ordinary individuals in the
twenty-first century. Organized around the trope of the individual
in five different copyright-related contexts - as an infringer,
transformer, pure user, creator and reformer - the book charts the
changing contours of our copyright regime and assesses its vitality
in the digital age. In the process, Tehranian questions some of our
most basic assumptions about copyright law by highlighting the
unseemly amount of infringement liability an average person rings
up in a single day, the counterintuitive role of the fair use
doctrine in radically expanding the copyright monopoly, the
important expressive interests at play in even the unauthorized use
of copyright works, the surprisingly low level of protection that
American copyright law grants many creators, and the broader
political import of copyright law on the exertion of social
regulation and control.
Drawing upon both theory and the author's own experiences
representing clients in various high-profile copyright infringement
suits, Tehranian supports his arguments with a rich array of
diverse examples crossing various subject matters - from the
unusual origins of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," the
question of numeracy among Amazonian hunter-gatherers, the history
of stand-offs at papal nunciatures, and the tradition of judicial
plagiarism to contemplations on Slash's criminal record, Barbie's
retrousse nose, the poisonous tomato, flag burning, music as a form
of torture, the smell of rotting film, William Shakespeare as a man
of the people, Charles Dickens as a lobbyist, Ashley Wilkes's
sexual orientation, Captain Kirk's reincarnation, and Holden
Caulfield's maturation. In the end, Infringement Nation makes a
sophisticated yet lucid case for reform of existing doctrine and
the development of a copyright 2.0."
