Copyright Law and Streaming

On the internet, music, films and TV shows are now just a few clicks away, readily available for listening or viewing. While piracy websites and file-sharing software initially disrupted the entertainment economy, the streaming technology has since been embraced by new operators, from Spotify to Netflix, providing an unprecedented abundance of cultural content.
Copyright laws around the world have addressed the many issues brought about by streaming services, whether lawful or not, ranging from copyright enforcement, artists’ remuneration to liability of video-sharing platforms and cultural diversity. This book presents an extensive comparative analysis of legislative and judiciary efforts to adapt to this technological and cultural revolution.
