Abstract: |
This article examines the communities involved in the distribution and sharing
of videos on the internet. Firstly, we study the practices connected with user
generated content and describe the appearance of new players (YouTube,
Dailymotion, Google Video, Zudeo, etc.) in the audiovisual landscape. We then
discuss regulation of the new community model of digital content distribution
before moving on to underline the need for the film and audiovisual industries
to socially construct new cultural and commercial experiences with film fans. |
