Resum:
This thesis proposes an interdisciplinary study from a socio-legal perspective that link tourism and leisure, copyright and neighbouring rights and new technologies. Despite the strategic role of new technologies for the tourism and leisure sectors, little attention has been paid by the literature. This thesis aims to fill this gap by analysing how the copyright and neighbouring rights regulatory framework is reconfiguring in the frame of the information economy, particularly in the Spanish context. Moreover, the work includes the analysis of two specific socio-economics scenarios. The thesis develops a theoretical-empirical research organized in three sections. In the first section, the deconstruction of the recent process of regulation of copyright and neighbouring rights in Spain is proposed. Then, the work shifts to the analysis of the interaction between copyrights laws, new technologies and the main actors into the digital music market. In the third section, it is analysed how the use of new technologies, social networks and Internet, and the copyright laws affect the management of copyrighted works for a group of SME’s in tourism. Results show that once copyright laws enter into force, these present mismatches, continuities and disconnections that, on the one hand, boost tensions while, on the other hand, let emerging situations regulated out of the legal framework. Moreover, results highlight that the progressive integration of new technologies, social networks and Internet into the tourism and leisure sectors connects more and more these with copyright and neighbouring rights, adds new challenges at strategic level so as the need for developing new related socio-legal studies.
