This book is a rare and unusually reflective insider account of the
transformational challenges of the cultural industries over the
past 15 years. Opening with a fresh new perspective on music
industry history, it explores how the industrial world evolves more
by narrative plausibility than by precision, recognizing that
corporate identity, purpose, and power can be both reinforced and
subverted by modifications to various cultural master-plots and
their traditional heroes and villains. Of most interest are the
insights into the strategic struggles faced by corporate managers
in the cultural industries, and by intellectual property
policymakers dealing with the fascinating and seismic new
millennium shifts in technology, communications, and related social
behaviour. Illustrating how a satisfactory 'post-private'
master-narrative for the digital age has yet to emerge, the book
also makes a valuable contribution to loosening the
industrial-political deadlock in the debate over copyright reform.
It is essential reading for cultural industry practitioners,
policymakers and scholars alike, indeed for anyone who takes an
interest in the changing processes which affect the creation and
dissemination of knowledge and culture.
Jonathan Wheeldon offers a rare and unusually reflective insider
account of the transformational challenges of the music industry,
and the cultural industries in general, over the past 15 years. He
also makes a potentially valuable contribution to loosening the
industrial-political deadlock in the debate over copyright reform.
