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
##mp3及其引領的盜版音樂色前世今生話說蘋果真的應該算是在這個大風口上起飛的一坨..非豬。
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##講瞭3件事情：一是音頻壓縮技術是怎麼來的，二是唱片盜版是怎麼發展的，三是盜版對唱片行業産生瞭什麼影響。細節十分豐富，讀起來相當過癮。
評分##好看！同樣作為下載一代，在遠東大陸懵懵懂懂地參與瞭幾乎每一步的風潮的變化。而其中技術的變化是我讀瞭博士之後纔瞭解的，對行業的影響更是從沒想過。作者從幾個看似毫不相關的綫頭切入後又編織成一個你我都在其中的故事，讀起來像是偵探小說一樣過癮。
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##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##基本上是科技改變（或者扼殺）盈利模式的故事
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。
評分嗬嗬，不知道哪傢電影公司能看中這本書，開拍紀錄片。
