Online File Sharing

It is apparent that file sharing on the Internet has become an emerging norm of media consumptionespecially among young people. This book provides a critical perspective on this phenomenon, exploring issues related to file sharing, downloading, peer-to-peer networks, piracy, and (not least) policy issues regarding these practices. Andersson Schwarz critically engages with the justificatory discourses of the actual file sharers, using Sweden as a geographic focus. By focusing on the example of Swedenhome to both the Pirate Bay and Spotifyhe provides a unique insight into a mentality that drives both innovation and deviance and accommodates sharing in both its unadulterated and its compliant, business-friendly forms.

Jonas Andersson Schwarz is a Lecturer in the Department of Culture and Communication at Sdertrn University, Sweden.

I would like to thank my PhD supervisors Sarah Kember and David Morley; all of my other colleagues at the departments of Media & Communications at Goldsmiths and at Sdertrn University College; all of you who have had to bear with me while finishing this work; all of you who managed to distract me; and all of you who kindly let me use the floor space and facilities that were required to do this work. Large parts of this work have been made possible thanks to Swedish research foundation Riksbankens jubileumsfond.

A special thank you goes out to all the worlds file sharersespecially those of you who were so kind to lend me your opinions and viewpoints; not only my formal respondents but all of you who I have in some way or another engaged with over the course of the last decade. I owe you one.

People dont even know were a company. They think were two teenagers in a basement in Sweden.

(Matt Mason, Executive Director of Marketing, BitTorrent, Inc., in Wortham 2012)

The aim of this book is to make for a deeper critical perspective on the current phenomenon of mass-scale file sharing on the Internet. By focusing on the example of Swedenhome to both outlaw file-sharing site The Pirate Bay (TPB) and sanctioned corporate streaming service Spotifyinsights will be offered into both infrastructure and the ways personal inclination is premised on a general disposition that follows from the collective experience of such infrastructures. Sharing has become one of the most telling pastimes of our digital, networked age. However, as digital literacy involves both innovation and deviance, it accommodates sharing and copying in rather divergent ways: Today sharing is manifested in ways that are both uncontrollable and unyielding, as well as compliant and business friendly. One of the things that this book will show is how these two modes of sharing are related.
