GEOBLOCKING AND GLOBAL VIDEO CULTURE
Eds. Ramon Lobato and James Meese
Amsterdam: Institute of Network Cultures, 2016
How do global audiences use streaming platforms like YouTube, Netflix
and iPlayer? How does the experience of digital video change according
to location? What strategies do people use to access out-of-region
content? What are the commercial and governmental motivations behind
geoblocking?
Geoblocking and Global Video Culture explores the cultural
implications of access control and circumvention in an age of VPNs.
Featuring seventeen chapters from diverse critical positions and
locations - including China, Iran, Malaysia, Turkey, Cuba, Brazil,
USA, Sweden and Australia - the book offers a wide-ranging analysis of
region control in digital media industries.
Available as a free PDF, EPUB, ISSUU, and print-on-demand book from
Institute of Network Cultures -
