How music got free : what happens when an entire generation commits the same crime?
Witt, Stephen F.2015
Book
This volume tells a blistering story of obsession, music, crime, and money featuring visionaries and criminals, moguls and tech-gifted teenagers. It's about the greatest pirate in history, the most powerful executive in the music business, a revolutionary invention and an illegal website six times the size of iTunes. It starts with a small-time thief at a CD-pressing plant, leads to the multi-million-dollar top tables of the music industry and from audio laboratories into the secret recesses of the online world. That story opens up the watershed moment in history when ordinary life became forever entwined with the world online - and part of the reason was the sudden availability of all the music ever recorded, for free.
