Piracy is among the most prevalent and vexing issues of the digital
age. In just the past decade, it has altered the music industry
beyond recognition, changed the way people watch television, and
made a dent in the buisness of the film and software industries.
From MP3 files to recipes from French celebrity chefs to the jokes
of American stand-up comedians, piracy is ubiquitous. And now
piracy can even be an arbiter of taste, as seen in the decision by
Netflix Netherlands to license heavily pirated shows. In this
unflinching analysis of piracy on the Internet and in the markets
of the Global South, Tilman Baumgartel brings together a collection
of essays examining the economic, political, and cultural
consequences of piracy. The contributors explore a wide array of
topics, which include materiality and piracy in Rio de Janeiro;
informal media distribution and the film experience in Hanoi,
Vietnam; the infrastructure of piracy in Nigeria; the political
economy of copy protection; and much more. Offering a theoretical
background for future studies of piracy, A Reader in International
Media Piracy is an important collection on the burning issue of the
Internet Age.
