Description Sharing: Culture and the Economy in the Internet Age Paperback – February 15, 2012 by Philippe Aigrain(Author) Amazon.com Product Details Paperback: 244 pages Publisher: Amsterdam University Press (February 15, 2012) Language: English ISBN-10: 9089643850 ISBN-13: 978-9089643858 Description: An in-depth exploration of digital culture and its dissemination, Sharing offers a counterpoint to the dominant view that file sharing is piracy. Instead, Philippe Aigrain looks at the benefits of file sharing, which allows unknown writers and artists to be appreciated more easily. Concentrating not only on the cultural enrichment caused by widely shared digital media, Sharing also discusses new financing models that would allow works to be shared freely by individuals without aim at profit. Aigrain carefully balances the needs to support and reward creative activity with a suitable respect for the cultural common good and proposes a new interpretation of the digital landscape. Review “Philippe Aigrain writes a brave book, venturing out into difficult territory. He articulates the value of sharing and collaboration in the Internet age; he explains why - contrary to what is generally stated - non-commercial sharing of cultural works by individuals is a widely beneficial practice. Most importantly, he explores what can be done in practice to sustain creativity in the new digital landscape.”—Charles Nesson, William F.
