Copyright at the Digital Margins


– Prof John Street
– Dr Tom Phillips
Summary
This project investigated the experience of unsigned artists working in markets that have been transformed by digitisation, and where barriers to entry have been radically lowered. It asked how those working in these fields experience issues of copyright and what possible changes maybe be required to accompany the business models with which such performers operate.
