It is apparent that file sharing on the Internet has become an emerging norm of media consumptionaespecially among young people. This book provides a critical perspective on this phenomenon, exploring issues related to file sharing, downloading, peer-to-peer networks, qpiracy, q and (not least) policy issues regarding these practices.

By focusing on the example of Swedenahome to both The Pirate Bay and Spotifyahe provides a unique insight into a mentality that drives both innovation and deviance and accommodates sharing in both its unadulterated and its compliant, business-friendly forms.... media of television, radio, telephone, and mail converge, standardized by transmission frequencies and bit format.
