This timely and accessible book examines the regulation of content generative activities across five popular social media platforms--Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter, and Wikipedia. Its in-depth, critical, and comparative analysis of the platforms' growing efforts to align terms of service and technological features with copyright law should be of great interest to anyone studying the interplay of law and new media. --Peter K. Yu, director, Center for Law and Intellectual Property, Texas A&M University This book makes an important contribution to the field of social media and copyright. It tackles the real issue of how social media is designed to encourage users to engage in generative practices, in a sense effectively 'seducing' users into practices that involve misuse or infringement of copyright, whilst simultaneously normalising such practices. --Melissa de Zwart, Adelaide Law School, Australia
