Loïc Riom has published a review of Yaniv Benhamou's recent book, Creative Value Chains: Copyright and Beyond for a Better Value Distribution (Bristol University Press), in the journal Cultural Trends.

Benhamou's book helps readers better understand the challenges facing the cultural sector in the digital age, particularly those raised by online platforms and generative AI. It does not merely offer an excellent synthesis of the copyright debates of the past two decades.
