Digitalization

Paper Summary:

The paper refers to critical media sources and some laws regarding the threat posed by digitalization to corporate recording interests. The paper provides a commentary on the overall phenomenon of digitalization as it stands to alter consciousness and what we understand by copyright, by laws involving special ownership and the very nature of reality. The paper notes the failure to distinguish between digitalization and its more cultural, thematic result in the digitalization that is such a threat to recording industry sovereignty.

From the Paper:

"Digitalization presents a number of considerations that affect the whole business of media and communication, as they have generated corporate wealth for a half-century or so. Moreover, digitalization may indicate a permanent shift in how cultural products are understood, our consciousness of what is accessible and our sense of entitlement, property and laws governing these concepts. Corporations are losing control of recorded products over which they once enjoyed monopoly and forcing new ventures of unknown success. Indeed, interests whose products are threatened by digitalization are proving to be poor sports, wanting capitalist activities protected by public and legal intervention."
