Named one of Time magazine?s best books of 2015 so far, How Music Got Free
is a story about greed, friendship, genius, stupidity and music piracy.
In the gripping book, author Stephen Witt tells the fascinating story
of pirated music, from the German audio engineers who invented the mp3,
to the story of Dell Glover, a worker in a compact-disc manufacturing
plant, with access to new albums who leaked nearly 2,000 of them over
the course of a decade, to the story of an illegal website four times
the size of the iTunes Music Store, and how the music industry allowed
Apple and others to control the steering wheel of the digital
transition.
