Launching the LSE Media Policy Project Brief 1: Public responses

The report authors, Bart Cammaerts and Bingchun Meng advocate file-sharing as an important activity in participatory culture responsible for fostering creativity and innovation; rather than as a criminal activity requiring often repressive copyright enforcement measures.
