Description
"This book challenges the prevailing view of cinema culture, that Hollywood and the US creates, produces, and exports, with other countries importing, modifying, and sometimes pirating "original" American work.
Instead the book challenges the construct of the so-called original ideas, which underpin the moneymaking activities of the creative industries, and for which ownership is secured through copyright.
Culture is made up of, and constantly renewed through, processes of copying, which is particularly prominent in today's entertainment culture reinforced by globalization and capitalism."--Jacket.
