How are ‘grey market’ imports changing media
industries? What is the role of piracy in developing new markets
for movies and TV shows? How do jailbroken i Phones drive
innovation?
The Informal Media Economy provides a vivid, original, and
genuinely transnational account of contemporary media, by showing
how the interactions between formal and informal media systems are
a feature of all nations – rich and poor, large and
small.
Shifting the focus away from the formal businesses and public
enterprises that have long occupied media researchers, this book
charts a parallel world of cultural intermediaries driving global
media production and circulation. It shows how unlicensed, untaxed,
or unregulated networks, which operate across the boundaries of
established media markets, have been a driving force of media
industry transformation. The book opens up new insights on a range
of topical issues in media studies, from the creative disruptions
of digitisation to amateur production, piracy and cybercrime.
