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
##蕩氣迴腸
評分##簡直像看小說一樣
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……
評分##基本上是科技改變（或者扼殺）盈利模式的故事
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##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
評分嗬嗬，不知道哪傢電影公司能看中這本書，開拍紀錄片。
評分##可做寫作教材
評分##醍醐灌頂 寫得非常好！
