Abstract
This article examines one of the most crucial yet often-overlooked links in global film processes: piracy. It does so within the context of a changing digital media environment that calls for a reassessment of key dimensions: networks, globalization, technology, space and the state. More specifically, it focuses on the operation of film piracy networks in Greater China that includes the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan. By zooming in on `Greater China', this article presents empirical accounts of specific links and connections on and between the intersecting distribution and piracy networks. In sum, distribution and piracy in China highlight some of the most interesting and intricate insights into issues of power, control, technology, network, speed, global-regional-national dynamics, subjectivities and reflexivity. Given the complexity of the issues, this study argues for a spatial, network and process-oriented theoretical framework.
Main Results of the Study
- As a result of both the regulatoryand theoretical fractures, piracy offers some of the most interesting and
intricate insights into matters of control, space and the global economy
Policy Implications as Stated By Author
- China provides an example of the shifting nature of relations between powerful entities and those engaged in piracy
- It also demonstrates the fluidity of network (including national) boundaries evident in the shadow economy of piracy
- Reasons for buying pirated films are varied and include lack of legitimately available films, or available films of high enough quality, or on the right technological format
- Windowed release strategies are creating an incentive to buy pirated films by stemming supply
