However, while SOPA's withdrawal was heralded as a victory for an open Internet, a small group of corporations, tacitly backed by the US and other governments, have implemented much of SOPA via a series of secret, handshake agreements. Drawing on extensive interviews, Natasha Tusikov details the emergence of a global regime in which large Internet firms act as regulators for powerful intellectual property owners, challenging fundamental notions of democratic accountability."--Provided by publisher Secret handshake deals -- Internet firms become global regulators -- Revenue chokepoints -- Access chokepoints -- Marketplace chokepoints -- Changing the enforcement paradigm -- A future for digital rights |
