Living on pop music and film

Article Abstract:

The biggest export of the US has become entertainment and culture, and the United Kingdom is also a major exporter of pop music and other types of intellectual property. The UK has a world market share of some 20% of pop music, but only 5% for TV and motion pictures. The US can export an image of itself which is attractive, while the UK exports culture that is similar to US culture but less geared to the domestic market. Software is dominated by Microsoft, but the UK has a role as a niche operator or as a sub-contractor for US enterprises.
