What is China’s Creative Industries : Copyright, Social Network Markets and the Business of Culture in a Digital Age about?

`Digital economy policy for the creative industries is framed too commonly in terms of refining and strengthening intellectual property rights. As digitalization grows in scope and importance, Lucy Montgomery's intriguing book shows how the limitations of this narrow approach have become all too apparent, as China's creative industries are thriving in an ever increasing digital global society because (and not despite) of the fact that their businesses, innovations, skills and markets have grown up with weak copyright enforcement regimes.' - Birgitte Andersen, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK `Lucy Montgomery brings together thought-provoking insights into China's cultural and creative sectors, notably the shift from official culture to entrepreneurial consumers, the relative unimportance of copyright compared to Western economies, and the need for us to understand evolutionary economics.
