Derechos de autor en Internet y regulación en la era de las plataformas de streaming

*** Longlist for the FT and Schroder Business Book of the Year 2025 *** ** Named word of the year in US, UK and Australia ** *'Enshittification' will be the most talked about tech book of the year.* "Enshittification" is Doctorow's word to describe the decay of online platforms. It captures the feeling of a world that is ever worsening. Enshittification is not a technical glitch. It is a technique that every platform - from X to TikTok, Amazon to Apple, has adopted. First they lure users onto their platforms, then attract businesses who might profit from this newly formed public, and then finally squeeze both for their own profit. Tech giants lure users in with convenience and then degrade their services over time, draining profit at the cost of user experience. In the meantime our public squares have turned somewhere between the mall and a dumpster fire, that is unfit to deal with the problems of our times. What is to be done? Like a surgeon, Doctorow sets out the symptoms, the diagnosis and the cure to these metastasizing platforms. We need to question the monopolies that dominate so much of our online lives, we must demand regulation and our privacy back, allow for interoperability, and win tech workers' rights.

Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It

Enshittification

Hätten Sie gedacht, dass 'Wie hilft man Bienen?' und 'Wie oft kann ich Plasma spenden?' zu den häufigsten Google-Anfragen gehören? Milliarden Suchanfragen werden jeden Tag von Menschen auf der ganzen Welt in Google-Suchfenster getippt oder ins Handy gesprochen. Ob es um Informationen zu einem tollen Kochrezept geht, den nächsten Auftritt des Lieblingspopstars, aktuelle Farbtrends in der Mode, die Größe des Universums, hilfreiche Tipps bei Schnupfen oder das beste Mittel gegen eine Ameisenstraße in der Küche - diese Anfragen geben ein höchst aktuelles Bild von Nöten, Vorlieben, Interessen und Befindlichkeiten eines großen Teils der Weltbevölkerung zu einer bestimmten Zeit. Und es ist ein ehrliches, denn wir bewegen uns bei den Anfragen nicht in der Öffentlichkeit z. B. der Social Media. Anhand dieser Riesenmenge an Daten lassen sich zeitnah Trends ablesen und phantastische Geschichten erzählen, vor allem auch solche, die Mut machen, weil sie zeigen, dass Tag für Tag Menschen sich tatsächlich kümmern und Anteil nehmen. Simon Rogers nimmt uns mit auf eine ebenso unterhaltsame wie augenöffnende Reise durch die Welt der Daten, die wir selbst täglich mitgestalten. Mit zahlreichen Infografiken. Ausstattung: Mit ca. 60 Infografiken

Ein überraschend hoffnungsvolles Bild der Menschheit

Was wir Google fragen

This innovative textbook edited by international experts in technology law and policy provides a comprehensive and accessible guide into the fast-evolving landscape of technology law and policy in the UK and the EU. The recent wave of regulatory reforms adopted by UK and EU regulators increases the complexity of Internet law as it had developed in the past decades. Recognising the ever-growing importance of artificial intelligence in today's public discourse, the textbook extends beyond traditional legal sectoral frameworks, and explores the intersection of law, technology, and public policy to describe and critically reflect on current and emerging issues in the modern information society. This exploration follows thematic areas of interest, such as adtech, privacy by design, predictive policing, and social media, while also providing accessible historical overviews of how policy has developed in specific fields including platform liability, copyright, or data protection, and case studies on key topics. The companion website provides multimedia resources to delve deeper into specific topics; introductory materials for readers that are unfamiliar with the EU legal system; and teaching resources. Law, Policy, and the Internet is an essential resource for anyone seeking to navigate the complexities of internet regulation in an era of exponential technological change.

Law, Policy, and the Internet

Kleine Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek

Memes in den Sozialen Medien sind meist provokant, lustig durch Grenzverletzung, so improvisiert wie prägnant, überspitzt und oft vorurteilsbeladen.
Schon im US-Präsidentschaftswahlkampf 2016 wurde deutlich, dass rechte Politik mit Memes nicht nur schrill verpackt wird. Spätestens seit der zweiten Amtszeit des 'Shitposter-in-Chief' Donald Trump ist klar: Aggressiver Internethumor, Deep Fakes und KI-Bilder auf offiziellen Accounts werden als effektives Machtinstrument genutzt. Memes dienen der Feindbildproduktion, als Stimmungsbarometer für Themen und Narrative sowie als pseudo-harmloses Mittel zur Polarisierung demokratischer Diskurse.
Wolfgang Ullrich diagnostiziert eine neue illiberale Regierungsform: die Memokratie. In ihr herrscht, wer die Plattformen dominiert - oder gleich besitzt. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele untersucht er Strategien autoritärer Bildpolitik in den USA, aber auch bei europäischen Identitären oder in China. Und Ullrich analysiert, warum es demokratischen Kräften so schwerfällt, diesem enthemmten Bildgebrauch etwas entgegenzusetzen.

Soziale Medien und autoritäre Bildpolitik

Memokratie

This book explores the relationship between copyright law, online anonymity, and creative user-generated content (CUGC). Presenting original empirical findings, the book evaluates the co-existence of copyright law and normative systems regulating a CUGC landscape made up of artists, photographers, and writers, and makes novel recommendations for copyright reform. It takes a multi-jurisdictional approach across Anglo-American and EU legal systems, using the UK, USA, and Germany as representative jurisdictions for legal analysis. Qualitative findings are drawn from creators and communities on Reddit and 4chan. Copyright subsists in much CUGC, but pervasive anonymity makes it difficult for the law to regulate it effectively. Simultaneously, anonymity offers creative benefits in a way that highlights flaws in traditional justifications of copyright. Comparisons between community norms and copyright law identify practical differences but also fundamental compatibilities in terms of ownership expectations. However, the simultaneous existence of legal and normative enforcement mechanisms complicates matters for creators and potential users, with negative implications for creativity and copyright law. While existing reform efforts have made suggestions to create a UGC exception, these overlook and undermine the role of CUGC creators as copyright holders. This can be addressed through the consideration of a framework of supplementary CUGC guidelines when developing such reforms. This valuable resource for researchers and students provides a distinct perspective in framing CUGC creators as copyright holders, examining online anonymity as a pivotal factor influencing regulation.

'[The DSA] will ensure that the online environment remains a safe space.' - So bewirbt die Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen den Digital Services Act (DSA), eine europäische Verordnung, die darauf abzielt, die Marktmacht großer Online-Plattformen wie Facebook, X, TikTok &amp; Co. einzuhegen. Julia Fischer fokussiert in ihrem Buch das Narrativ der Herstellung eines ¿sicheren Online-Umfelds¿ und fragt: Wer oder was soll durch den DSA geschützt werden und welche Bedeutungen von Un/Sicherheiten werden dabei hervorgebracht? In Anschluss an Autor*innen der Gender Studies sowie der politischen Philosophie legt die Arbeit die Mechanismen der Produktion von Un/Sicherheiten sowie entsprechende Prekarisierungseffekte im DSA offen, um so die Untrennbarkeit von Schutz und Gefährdung in den Blick zu nehmen. Dabei wird deutlich, inwiefern die staatlichen Strukturen der EU gemeinsam mit den Unternehmen im DSA als diejenigen diskursiviert werden, die schützen, während eine potenzielle Mitwirkung der Zivilgesellschaft bei der Herstellung von ¿Sicherheit¿ weitestgehend ausgeblendet wird.

Der Digital Services Act zwischen Sicherheitsphantasmen und geteilten Fürsorgepraktiken

Soziale Medien als ¿sicherer¿ Raum?

The selfie, the faux-vintage photo, the self-destructing image, the food photo—these new visual forms and the devices and platforms that facilitate them have fomented a cultural revolution. Not only has the art of photography and the industry around it been transformed, but the way we under-stand ourselves has changed. The Social Photo provides a language and conceptual framework to comprehend photography in the age of social media. This updated edition includes a new preface contemplating the fate of the social photo in the era of AI-generated images.

Who decides what good literature is? And in which spaces are these decisions made in a digitized world?

Literary judgement is the starting point for the evaluation, selection and even canonization of a literary work. In the 18th century, educated citizens exchanged ideas, formed public opinion, and promoted common narratives in debates about literature. Today, criticism is shaped in many diverse public spheres and sub-spheres, operating in an economy regulated by attention and in a globalized book market. What does this mean for the roles of critic, author, and reader?
»Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism« addresses questions relating to the forms, functions, and significance of literary judgement; the conditions and consequences for criticism in the current media landscape; the medialization of criticism as review and its rhetorical and generic effects; the ascription and dissemination of literary value for a growing but&nbsp;diverse global readership; the implications and consequences for writer, critic, and reader of the digitization of criticism.
With contributions by: Amit Chaudhuri, Phillipa Chong, James English, Florencia Garramuño, Richard Jacquemond, Mats Jansson, Christopher Odhiambo Joseph, Rebecka Kärde, Daniel Kehlmann, Zóltan Kulcsár-Szabó, Camille Laurens, B.

Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism

An eye-opening exploration of the Chinese internet that reveals the intricate dance between freedom and control in contemporary China. In the late 1990s, as the world was waking up to the power of the internet, Chinese authorities began con­structing a system of online censor­ship now known as the Great Firewall. But far from being barren, the digital world behind the firewall brimmed with new subcultures and tech innovations, offering many citizens previously unimaginable connection and opportunity. Today, as the country's leadership intensifies its control of public discourse and Western headlines reduce the Chinese public to a faceless monolith, journalist Yi-Ling Liu presents an intimate por­trait of the en­trepreneurs, activists, artists, and dreamers navigating China's transformation into both the world's largest online user base and one of its most populous authoritarian states. Drawing on years of firsthand reporting, The Wall Dancers equips readers with the tools to assess the past, present, and future of a global power. A vital exploration of the inter­net's power for both control and liberation, and an unforgettable work of human storytelling, it ultimately asks what it means to live within the technological systems that now shape all of our lives.

Looking at the phenomenon of visibility labour and attention economies on social media, this open access book focuses on the Asia Pacific region to examine the use of 'drama' online for internet fame/infamy and financial gain. On social media, the attention economy shapes and governs our engagement. Social media actors use a variety of tactics to gain our attention, to 'go viral', and to become 'internet famous'. They manufacture extraordinary events, curate their lives for us to consume, and play on our emotions to draw us in. But relying on only the picture perfect, the pristine, and the prestigious a la 'aspirational' role-modelling is fast becoming stale to audiences in this very saturated space. Enter the use of 'online drama' to wrestle for the attention spans of audiences, when social media actors use discursive and visual narratives centred on angst, shock, fear, shame, pity to generate visibility, yield interest, and provoke conversations in the gladiatorial arena of social media. Through a range of lively case studies spanning platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and YouTube, and popular online for a in the Asia Pacific region, this book explores topics such as 'shamelebrity', the 'influencer apology', 'call out culture', 'cancel culture', and 'meme factories' to unpack that peculiarly contemporary online phenomenon: the culture and economy of online drama.

How Attention Economies are Changing

Provoking Online Drama

Nick Clegg, formerly one of Meta's most senior executives, presents a blueprint for reforming Big Tech while preserving the essential openness of the internet 'Warns of the dangers posed to a free and open global internet by an age of autocrats and a titanic power struggle over AI' Guardian As democracies seek to curb the power of Big Tech, as authoritarian regimes like China and Russia isolate their populations from the internet, and as the AI race supercharges divisions between competing nations, the most powerful tool for bringing us together risks being dismantled. Taking us behind the scenes at Meta, and drawing on his unique experience on the world stage of both tech and politics, Nick Clegg sets out where Big Tech has gone wrong and the radical reforms that are needed if global platforms are to ensure their long-term future. But he also shows that many of the charges against them are overstated or simply untrue, and presents a blueprint for the international cooperation that is needed if we are to preserve what makes them so vital to our future: their potential to empower and improve billions of lives. Radical, reasonable, deeply felt and disarmingly honest, How To Save the Internet reminds us how much we stand to lose on our current path - and how much we might yet gain from a global, open internet. 'Entertaining . . . lucid, detailed . . . there is much to agree with' Spectator 'Studded throughout [with] good analyses of the political situation around technology' Observer 'A gripping and timely book. Nick Clegg writes with clarity, authority and urgency' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads 'A wake-up call we cannot afford to ignore' Tony Blair 'A vital read' Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn
