This book was a bit more technical than I thought it’d be but it was still interesting. I'm not sure if I agree with the author on their thoughts on how the music industry is 'dying' because of piracy. The industry has changed, but the title of the book certainly doesn't match up with the conclusion the author had reached at the end of the book. Witt interviewed stakeholders who were involved with piracy EXCEPT one of the most obvious groups, which are the artists. Even after he’s written this I think music listening has changed and is more reliant on streaming than ever. While artists are earning pennies, executives gain millions from royalties and streams. I certainly would have liked to see his take on that in the epilogue, however, it wasn't mentioned at all. I think the tone, conclusion, and even perspective of the book would have benefited if he had included them in the book.
