However, digital image transactions are trapped in the traditional trading modes. As digital technology and the Internet of Things progressed, society moved into the information age. Thus, our conceptualization of private intellectual property rights evolved, allowing for the removal of artificial barriers between rights owners and consumers. This study bridges this gap by developing an individually-tailored authorized trading platform for digital artwork. First, we use copyrights underlying digital artwork licensing as a lens to examine new copyright licensing model challenges and the use of value-added applications in the modern digital environment. Second, we analyze foreign digital artwork trading platforms to better understand the functions of a digital artwork image licensing platform. By using the questionnaire to determine what functions digital artwork platforms should include, we can shift the object of investigation to the artists themselves.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136353522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The explanation for this has traditionally focused on external factors such as the rejection of totalitarianism or the strength of the private cultural market. However, this emphasis on factors external to the cultural system is exaggerated and above all, underestimates internal factors of a religious nature. For this reason, we propose that one of the explanatory factors for this singularity is Protestantism in its most fundamentalist variants, which promotes an anti-intellectual and puritanical political culture. Consequently, a part of the population and especially the political elite linked to the Christian right has limited the consolidation and empowerment of cultural policy since the 1960s.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43792411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Providing students and practitioners with an overview of a field is a daunting task with many things for an author to consider. There the Victoria Harbor seemed to be the most pressing problems that the administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“government”) had to address. The years 2006–2007 represent a turning moment in the post-colonial history of built heritage protection, as the following chapter indicates. The decision of the government to demolish several built heritage sites caused public protest as well as unsuccessful litigation. After 2007, the seventh chapter suggests, Hong Kong’s built heritage policy underwent considerable change. The establishment of the New Antiquities Authority, the adoption of a new policy regarding heritage impact assessment as well as the implementation of a scheme for the revitalization of historic buildings were some of the most important initiatives. The eighth chapter operates as a bridge with the next and final chapter. It takes stock of the bright and dark sides of protecting built heritage in Hong Kong after 2007. In terms of successes, the growing consultation of public opinion concerning heritage-related matters is noticeable (77). By contrast, amongst the darker sides are the disputes about the inscription of certain heritage sites into the World Heritage List and the practical implementation of the heritage impact assessment scheme. Gallagher in the final chapter pushes for the reform of Hong Kong’s built heritage law and policy by listing specific recommendations. Gazing to the future, Gallagher, concludes with confidence about the long-term preservation of Hong Kong’s built heritage (111). From the perspective of the reviewers, Protecting Built Heritage in Hong Kong fills the lacuna of scholarly research into built heritage legislation and policy in Hong Kong by providing a comprehensive analysis. The book is constructive, enlightening, concise and easily accessible to the average reader. Consisting of 111 pages, the book can be read from cover to cover in a reasonably short amount of time. The book throws a net that is both broad and deep enough to appeal to both academics and a wider audience. The book is welcomed by legal scholars and students but also heritage professionals working in the field of cultural heritage and policy as well as to those who maintain an interest to learn more about Hong Kong’s rich built heritage.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46559912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed a qualitative method with two steps: document analysis and focus group interviews. Findings showed that entrepreneurship courses, classroom lectures, and practice-based training via entrepreneurship competition were the main teaching methods in the current state of arts entrepreneurship education in the GBA. The shortage of competent teachers and the lack of joint efforts among stakeholders are the significant barriers in developing tertiary arts entrepreneurship education in the GBA. Accordingly, to facilitate art entrepreneurship education at GBA, this study suggests improving the entrepreneurship guidance mechanism; establishing an environmental model conducive to art entrepreneurship; and strengthening cooperation among government, society, and academia to enhance art entrepreneurship education.","PeriodicalId":45760,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF ARTS MANAGEMENT LAW AND SOCIETY","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46130668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
