Today's Future Digital Use The Shapes of Future in Digital Media

The World Economic Forum is perhaps best known for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland,

which brings together heads of state, CEOs of some of the world's largest companies, and assorted other movers and shakers for a week of speeches, panels, and workshops in the Swiss Alps each January. But the Forum also works year-round through its network of over eighty global agenda councils, which address a diverse range of topics including biotechnology, climate change, energy security, and youth unemployment.
Since last year, I've been a member of the Forum's global agenda council on the intellectual property system. We've taken a careful look at the forces shaping how people are creating and sharing digital media today, and perhaps even more importantly, what the world of digital media will look like in the coming years.

Content distribution models are shifting towards instantaneous, ubiquitous access, often using social networks
New technologies, big data, and the growth of virtual content are reshaping the creative economy landscape
The traditional lines between content creators and content consumers are blurring, with consumers playing an increasingly important role in collaborative content creation
Business models for digital content distribution are changing, with licensing and service-based delivery models replacing traditional sales-based distribution
Commerce in creative works is increasingly global -- but national and regional intellectual property frameworks have yet not caught up with the full range of cross-border content movement enabled by today's technologies
Technology is making it easier to modify and redistribute content.  The resulting complex chains of "derivative works" provide increased opportunities to capture creativity, but also create challenges to managing copyright.
Many aspects of these trends are obvious. It's not news to anyone that technology has altered how we create and distribute content, that business models for media distribution have evolved dramatically over the last decade, or that intellectual property laws need to be updated. But articulating the key trends impacting digital media can provide a useful framework for rethinking intellectual property, both at the level of individual companies as well on a national and global scale.

For example, if your business uses crowdsourcing to capture the collective creative input of a large customer base (or for content distributors, a large audience), there are important questions that can arise regarding ownership of the associated intellectual property -- questions that don't always end with the terms of use that your customers accept as a condition of joining your ecosystem. If your company is contemplating a business model that includes cross-border distribution of certain types of digital media, you will likely encounter a complex licensing landscape that can make it difficult to maximize your market reach.

Addressing the many challenges of doing business in a global digital media environment requires not only working effectively within existing intellectual property frameworks, but also helping policymakers identify ways in which those frameworks can be suitably updated. The trends listed above can provide context for conversations serving both of those ends. The result can be a set of intellectual property solutions allowing content creators to reach larger and more engaged audiences, consumers to benefit from increased choice, and the businesses that connect them to broaden the scope of their products and services.

Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye),

officially the Republic of Turkey ( Türkiye Cumhuriyeti) is a Eurasian country,located mostly on the Anatolia in Western Asia and on East Thrace in Southeastern Europe. Turkey is bordered by eight countries: Bulgaria to the northwest; Greece to the west; Georgia to the northeast; Armenia, Iran and the Azerbaijani exclave of Nakhchivan to the east; and Iraq and Syria to the southeast. The Mediterranean Sea is to the south; the Aegean Sea is to the west; and the Black Sea is to the north. The Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles (which together form the Turkish Straits) demarcate the boundary between Thrace and Anatolia; they also separate Europe and Asia.

Turkey is one of the seven independent Turkic states. The country's official language is Turkish, which is spoken by approximately 85% of the population as mother tongue. The most numerous ethnic group is the Turks, who constitute between 70% and 75% of the population according to The World Factbook. Kurds are the largest ethnic minority and, according to the same source, number around 18% of the population while other ethnic minorities are estimated to be at 7--12%.The vast majority of the population is Muslim.

Seljuk Turks began migrating into the area now called Turkey (derived from the Medieval Latin Turchia, i.e. "Land of the Turks") in the 11th century. The process was greatly accelerated by the Seljuk victory over the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.The Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm ruled Anatolia until the Mongol invasion in 1243, upon which it disintegrated into several small Turkish beyliks. Starting from the late 13th century, the Ottoman beylik united Anatolia and created an empire encompassing much of Southeastern Europe, Western Asia and North Africa. After the Ottoman Empire collapsed following its defeat in World War I, parts of it were occupied by the victorious Allies. A cadre of young military officers, led by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and his colleagues, organized a successful resistance to the Allies; in 1923 they established the modern Republic of Turkey, with Atatürk as its first president.

Turkey is a democratic, secular, unitary, constitutional republic with a diverse cultural heritage. Turkey has become increasingly integrated with the West through membership in organisations such as the Council of Europe, NATO, OECD, OSCE and the G-20 major economies. Turkey began full membership negotiations with the European Union in 2005, having been an associate member of the European Economic Community since 1963 and having joined the EU Customs Union in 1995. Turkey has also fostered close cultural, political and economic relations with the Middle East, Caucasus, the Turkic states of Central Asia and the African countries through membership in organisations such as the Turkic Council, Joint Administration of Turkic Arts and Culture, Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Economic Cooperation Organisation.

Turkey's location at the crossroads of Europe and Asia makes it a country of significant geostrategic importance. In addition to its strategic location, Turkey's growing economy and diplomatic initiatives have led to its recognition as a regional power.
