    Summary note
    • "This book challenges the prevailing view of cinema culture, that Hollywood and the US creates, produces, and exports, with other countries importing, modifying, and sometimes pirating "original" American work.
    • Instead the book challenges the construct of the so-called original ideas, which underpin the moneymaking activities of the creative industries, and for which ownership is secured through copyright.
    • Culture is made up of, and constantly renewed through, processes of copying, which is particularly prominent in today's entertainment culture reinforced by globalization and capitalism."--Jacket.
