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.

用戶評價
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。
评分蕩氣迴腸
评分漲姿勢~
评分哦媽呀兩星還沒有人打！！
评分雖然說音頻壓縮與mp3格式的發展曆程，環球唱片的盛極而衰，以及music scene的描繪這三條綫到後麵有些割裂，作者的有些論調我也不太贊同，但因為有Dell Glover這一獨傢源頭，對於好奇想瞭解scene與0day小組背後運行機製的人來說，本書還是挺有看頭的。OiNK的故事跟Wired雜誌那篇Silk Road創始人的文章對比著讀，更能瞭解互聯網居民對現實世界的反抗，烏托邦與否，在乎怎麼看。What.CD現在從種子數量和內容上也超過瞭原來的OiNK，時不時的有藝術傢通過它發布新專輯（Vanity House），還齣産瞭幾張閤集。也許正如最近一位Vanity House獨立藝術傢所言，有時候exposure曝光相對於distribution發行更重要。
