The rise of Web 2.0 has pushed the amateur to the forefront of
public discourse, public policy and media scholarship. Typically
non-salaried, non-specialist and untrained in media production,
amateur producers are now seen as key drivers of the creative
economy. But how do the activities of citizen journalists, fan
fiction writers and bedroom musicians connect with longer
traditions of extra-institutional media production? This edited
collection provides a much-needed interdisciplinary
contextualisation of amateur media before and after Web 2.0.
Surveying the institutional, economic and legal construction of the
amateur media producer via a series of case studies, it features
contributions from experts in the fields of law, economics and
media studies based in the UK, Europe and Singapore. Each section
of the book contains a detailed case study on a selected topic,
followed by two further pieces providing additional analysis and
commentary. Using an extraordinary array of case studies and
examples, from YouTube to online games, from subtitling communities
to reality TV, the book is neither a celebration of amateur
production nor a denunciation of the demise of professional media
industries. Rather, this book presents a critical dialogue across
law and the humanities, exploring the dynamic tensions and
interdependencies between amateur and professional creative
production. This book will appeal to both academics and students of
intellectual property and media law, as well as to scholars and
students of economics, media, cultural and internet studies.
