Content Industry as a complex system formed from technology, institutions, economics, and culture

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to show elements of content industry as a complex system and to consider how the noise for the system which is arisen frequently from each element has adapted to the system. Technology, institutions, economics, and culture are interconnected elements of those industry. This paper points out that “reproduction business and copyright business” is a logic to reconstitute the system of this industry. The whole system does not work smoothly if a new current from the element is not rearranged suitable for this logic. This theory would explain why a technological change of digitization could be a whole change of the content industry system.
