- Building on the 2011-12 ESRC-funded project Communicating copyright: An exploration of copyright discourses in the digital age, Understanding Copyright explores copyright debates as structured by justifications of involved groups: cultural industries, intermediaries, creative workers, ordinary users, and policymakers. The book draws on the authors’ own empirical work (including twelve focus groups with copyright users and extensive discourse analysis of UK-based copyright documents and campaigns), synthesizesing studies from a variety of fields and international perspectives, to understand why disagreement about the form and purpose of copyright is rife, and to explore how policymaking might accommodate a broader range of views.
