In January 2012, millions participated in the now-infamous
"Internet blackout" against the Stop Online Piracy Act, protesting
the power it would have given intellectual property holders over
the Internet. However, while SOPA's withdrawal was heralded as a
victory for an open Internet, a small group of corporations,
tacitly backed by the US and other governments, have implemented
much of SOPA via a series of secret, handshake agreements. Drawing
on extensive interviews, Natasha Tusikov details the emergence of a
global regime in which large Internet firms act as regulators for
powerful intellectual property owners, challenging fundamental
notions of democratic accountability.
