Summary:
"A story of
music
and money, with visionaries and criminals, moguls and tech-savvy teenagers. A revolutionary invention and an illegal website four times the size of today's iTunes
Music
Store. The 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. A thrilling book that depicts the moment in history when, suddenly, all the
music
ever recorded was available for
free
. The unforgettable characters--inventors, executives, factory workers, and smugglers--who revolutionized an entire artform, and the media pirates that transformed our digital lives"--From publisher description.
