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.

##基本上是把唱片行業的發展曆史給捋清楚瞭，而且從三個不同的角度交叉描述。
評分##簡直像看小說一樣
評分##基本上是把唱片行業的發展曆史給捋清楚瞭，而且從三個不同的角度交叉描述。
評分##很好看。MP3發明者、唱片公司老闆、盜版組織核心成員，三個角度交織描繪齣瞭MP3、CD、盜版的興衰，以及聽音樂這事是怎麼逐漸走到現在這一步的。
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##兩群geeks的故事，how mp3 killed music industry. 非常好看。如某些評論所說，很適閤拍紀錄片，其實拍個像social network的電影也是可以的。沒有太久之前的短短20多年曆史，某些也算是經曆過的。
評分##基本上是科技改變（或者扼殺）盈利模式的故事
評分##簡直像看小說一樣
評分##蕩氣迴腸
