Google books and changes in the publishing industries
Abstract
Digital technologies and the expansion of distributed electronic networks have favoured radical changes in culture, its industries and the management of intellectual value at global scale. The aim of this work is to analyze how these changes have taken place in the publishing world and in which situation the management of common intellectual goods is today. On the one hand, printing on demand and the changes in the support of literary intellectual works are described. On the other, „Google Books” are analysed as a case that permits to observe the relations of co-construction among the regulations of authorship rights and the right to copy and digital technologies used for its management. The works seeks to contribute strategically to public policies about common intellectual goods and the distribution of intellectual wealth at global scale.
