Nick Marx: Storage Wars: Clouds, Cyberlockers, and Media Piracy in the Digital Economy

DOI:10.1349/PS1.1938-6060.A.426, E-Media Studies 3/1 (2013)

If, as Lawrence Lessig argues, every media industry is born of some form of piracy, then describing pirate practices with more nuance can provide a clearer picture of how institutionalized media powers are confronting the many challenges of the digital economy. Characterizing media piracy as partly constitutive of, rather than directly oppositional to, established industry routines allows us to see the former with the same complexity commonly afforded the latter. It also avoids reinforcing binaristic conceptions—old versus new or licit versus illicit—of how media circulate and participate in the construction of cultural discourses.
