The Fight over Digital Rights - The Politics of Copyright and Technology (Paperback): Bill D. Herman The Fight over Digital Rights - The Politics of Copyright and Technology (Paperback)
Bill D. Herman
R1,028 Discovery Miles 10 280 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In the political fight over copyright, Internet advocacy has reshaped the playing field. This was shown most dramatically in the 2012 SOPA blackout, when the largest online protest in history stopped two copyright bills in their tracks. For those not already familiar with the debate, this protest seemingly came out of nowhere yet was the culmination of an intellectual and political evolution more than a decade in the making. This book examines the debate over digital copyright, from the late 1980s through early 2012, and the new tools of political communication involved in the advocacy around the issue. Drawing on methods from legal studies, political science, and communications, it explores the rise of a coalition seeking more limited copyright, as well as how these early-adopting, technology-savvy policy advocates used online communication to shock the world. It compares key bills, congressional debates, and offline and online media coverage using quantitative and qualitative methods to create a rigorous study for researchers that is also accessible to a general audience."
