Cultural and creative industries (CCIs) constitute a major feature of contemporary world economies. Many governments have developed policies and legislation around CCIs. On one hand, the rationale has been to maximise economic gains from the CCIs whose contributions constitute significant portions of national GDPs and employment sectors. On the other hand, there is an endeavour to protect Intellectual Property (IP) rights as the knowledge economy places value on information, individual talent and skills in ways that benefit individuals and countries economically.
