具體描述
How Music Got Free is a riveting story of obsession, music, crime, and money, featuring visionaries and criminals, moguls and tech-savv y teenagers. It’s about the greatest pirate in history, the most powerful executive in the music business, a revolutionary invention and an illegal website four times the size of the iTunes Music Store.
Journalist Stephen Witt traces the secret history of digital music piracy, from the German audio engineers who invented the mp3, to a North Carolina compact-disc manufacturing plant where factory worker Dell Glover leaked nearly two thousand albums over the course of a decade, to the high-rises of midtown Manhattan where music executive Doug Morris cornered the global market on rap, and, finally, into the darkest recesses of the Internet.
Through these interwoven narratives, Witt has written a thrilling book that depicts the moment in history when ordinary life became forever entwined with the world online — when, suddenly, all the music ever recorded was available for free. In the page-turning tradition of writers like Michael Lewis and Lawrence Wright, Witt’s deeply-reported first book introduces the unforgettable characters—inventors, executives, factory workers, and smugglers—who revolutionized an entire artform, and reveals for the first time the secret underworld of media pirates that transformed our digital lives.
An irresistible never-before-told story of greed, cunning, genius, and deceit, How Music Got Free isn’t just a story of the music industry—it’s a must-read history of the Internet itself.

嗬嗬，不知道哪傢電影公司能看中這本書，開拍紀錄片。
評分##科技讓許多曾經稀缺的東西變得無處不在，一個免費MP3版權和iPod, 讓如今的流行音樂變得無處不在；一個開源的epub格式和iPhone，也讓如今的電子書無處不在。a world of abundance，多麼誘人。
評分##原以為是議論文，沒想到是偵探小說…精彩
評分##講瞭3件事情：一是音頻壓縮技術是怎麼來的，二是唱片盜版是怎麼發展的，三是盜版對唱片行業産生瞭什麼影響。細節十分豐富，讀起來相當過癮。
評分##醍醐灌頂 寫得非常好！
評分##蕩氣迴腸
評分##很有趣的盜版音樂發展史，也是MP3的格式之戰史。世界最厲害的盜版者是，寶麗金唱片廠員工代爾格羅夫，最成功的盜版組織RNS。如今流媒體已經快讓MP3退齣曆史舞颱瞭
評分##mp3及其引領的盜版音樂色前世今生話說蘋果真的應該算是在這個大風口上起飛的一坨..非豬。
評分##信息可以復製，所有權不可以。for capitalism to work, in a digital age, sharing had to be penalised. 知識産權也是中國經濟發展到如今，再生活力的需要。再過十年來看吧……
