The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture (2007)
the cult of the amateur and rew keen U.S. $22.95/Canada $29.95 ^^ a hard-hitting and provocative polemic, Silicon 1 I I Valley insider and pundit Andrew Keen exposes the grave consequences of today's new participatory Web 2.0 and reveals how it threatens our values, economy, and ultimately the very innovation and creativity that form the fabric of American achievement. Our most valued cultural institutions, Keen warns- our professional newspapers, magazines, music, and movies-are being overtaken by an avalanche of ama teur, user-generated free content. Advertising revenue is being siphoned off by free classified ads on sites like Craigslist; television networks are under attack from free user-generated programming on YouTube and the like; file-sharing and digital piracy have devastated the multibillion-dollar music business and threaten to undermine our movie industry. Worse, Keen claims, our "cut-and-paste" online culture-in which intellectual property is freely swapped, downloaded, remashed, and aggregated-threatens over two hundred years of copy right protection and intellectual property rights, robbing artists, authors, journalists, musicians, editors, and producers of the fruits of their creative labors. In today's self-broadcasting culture, where ama teurism is celebrated and anyone with an opinion, however ill-informed, can publish a blog, post a video on YouTube, or change an entry on Wikipedia, the distinction between trained expert and uninformed amateur becomes danger ously blurred. When anonymous bloggers and videogra- phers, unconstrained by professional standards or editorial filters, can alter the public debate and manipulate public opinion, truth becomes a commodity to be bought, sold, packaged, and reinvented.
