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.
无疑是本好书。是关于数字音乐媒介史和音乐产业的故事。mp3败给了mp2却壮大了盗版音乐的传播,不可预知的因素阴差阳错地让音乐产业发生历史性变革。生词好多QwQ,坑坑巴巴啃了一个多月看完意犹未尽。btw 装帧太差。
评分很有趣的盗版音乐发展史,也是MP3的格式之战史。世界最厉害的盗版者是,宝丽金唱片厂员工代尔格罗夫,最成功的盗版组织RNS。如今流媒体已经快让MP3退出历史舞台了
评分有一种见证者的高傲感 我从小就开始尝试pirate各类文化奇迹,压根儿不知道版权是什么。所以版权是不是个意识形态问题呢? 三个故事叙述得with excruciating detail,小说感。如果streaming services能再elaborate就更好了。
评分呵呵,不知道哪家电影公司能看中这本书,开拍纪录片。
