How Music Got Free: The End of an Industry, the Turn of the Century, and the Patient Zero of Piracy by Stephen Richard Witt

5.0

devoured this (helps if you also ran napster on your dorm desktop 2000-01). five stars as a technical history of audio compression, five stars as an economic history of the music industry from the CD age to the present, and five stars as a ~sociological inquiry into the piracy community/communities.
