Abstract

A new assessment of the interdependence of television across cultures and nations brings together the most current research and theories on the subject. By examining recent developments in the world system of television as well as several theories of culture, industry, genre, and audience, author Joseph D. Straubhaar offers new insights into the topic. He argues that television is being simultaneously globalized, regionalized, nationalized, and even localized, with audiences engaging it at multiple levels of identity and interest; therefore the book looks at all these levels of operation.

Lawrence Lessig, “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era” (TheNew Yorker), masterfully argues that never before in human history has the power to control creative progress been so concentrated in the hands of the powerful few, the so-called Big Media. Never before have the cultural powers- that-be been able to exert such control over what we can and can't do with the culture around us. Our society defends free markets and free speech; why then does it permit such top-down control? To lose our long tradition of free culture, Lawrence Lessig shows us, is to lose our freedom to create, our freedom to build, and, ultimately, our freedom to imagine.

Confessions of a Record Producer: How to Survive the Scams and Shams of the Music Business

Abstract

Avalon dissects the music business, explaining who's in it for what, and the tricks that are used to cheat artists, writers, producers, and managers in this notoriously greed infested industry. After explaining who the various players and what their agendas are, he discusses the legal aspects of the major and indie label deals, the language of contracts, and issues such as copyright protection, master fraud, and marketing ploys. Avalon's sympathy is obviously with the small-time artists, engineers, and producers, as he explains the scams that record companies and other players use to routinely rip each other off (of course the record companies usually come out on top).
