PROMISES TO KEEP: TECHNOLOGY, LAW, AND THE FUTURE OF ENTERTAINMENT

Book ID/图书代码： 12347004B07094

English Summary/英文概要： During the past fifteen years, changes in the technologies used to make and store audio and video recordings, combined with the communication revolution associated with the Internet, have generated an extraordinary array of new ways in which music and movies can be produced and distributed. Both the creators and the consumers of entertainment products stand to benefit enormously from the new systems. Sadly, we have failed thus far to avail ourselves of these opportunities. Instead, much energy has been devoted to interpreting or changing legal rules in hopes of defending older business models against the threats posed by the new technologies. These efforts to plug the multiplying holes in the legal dikes are failing and the entertainment industry has fallen into crisis. This provocative book chronicles how we got into this mess and presents three alternative proposals - each involving a combination of legal reforms and new business models - for how we could get out of it.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 过去的十五年里，录音和摄相技术的革新加上英特网所引发的通讯革命彻底改变了音乐和电影制作和传播的方式。娱乐产品的制作人和消费群体的确定会因此收益蜚浅。不幸的是，我们至今对此还没有充分利用。相反，我们把太多经历投入到为了捍卫旧式商业模式不被新科技取代而对相关法律条文进行阐述和修改中去了。我们企图修补这千疮百孔的“法律堤坝”，但是于事无补，眼睁睁看着娱乐陷入危机。这本书详述了我们是如何陷入此困境的，同时也提出了三种选择性解决方法----每一个都把律法改革和新型商业模式结合在一起。
