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.

##可做寫作教材
評分##係統地梳理瞭音樂數字化以及盜版的發展史。MP3技術齣現，唱片公司員工偷竊樣品，包括後期的BT技術，到現在的streaming，徹底顛覆瞭一個行業
評分##醍醐灌頂 寫得非常好！
評分##在VeryCD和BT/PT下載的神話中長大的兩代人絕對會感興趣的一本書。從MP3的誕生起頭，講述瞭互聯網發展和數據壓縮技術伴生的PTP傳輸盜版史及同時期唱片業變遷。聚焦關鍵人物的寫法雖然引人入勝，大事件的前因後果就隻能被濃縮進夾敘夾議的抒情裏瞭，殊為可惜。
評分嗬嗬，不知道哪傢電影公司能看中這本書，開拍紀錄片。
