Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
PEERS, PIRATES, AND PERSUASION: RHETORIC IN THE PEERTOPEER DEBATES investigates the role of rhetoric in shaping public perceptions about a novel technology: peertopeer filesharing networks. While broadband Internet services now allow speedy transfers of complex media files, Americans face real uncertainty about whether peertopeer file sharing is or should be legal. John Logie analyzes the public arguments growing out of more than five years of debate sparked by the advent of Napster, the first widely adopted peertopeer technology. The debate continues with the second wave of peertopeer file transfer utilities like Limewire, KaZaA, and BitTorrent. With PEERS, PIRATES, AND PERSUASION, Logie joins the likes of Lawrence Lessig, Siva Vaidhyanathan, Jessica Litman, and James Boyle in the ongoing effort to challenge and change current copyright law so that it fulfills its purpose of fostering creativity and innovation while protecting the rights of artists in an attention economy. Logie examines metaphoric frameswarfare, theft, piracy, sharing, and hacking, for examplethat dominate the peertopeer debates and demonstrably shape public policy on the use and exchange of digital media. PEERS, PIRATES, AND PERSUASION identifies the Napster case as a failed opportunity for a productive national discussion on intellectual property rights and responsibilities in digital environments. Logie closes by examining the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in the "Grokster" case, in which leading peertopeer companies were found to be actively inducing copyright infringement. The Grokster case, Logie contends, has already produced the chilling effects that will stifle the innovative spirit at the heart of the Internet and networked communities.
