Back cover
This gripping tale is about music, money and crime. It features visionaries and criminals, tycoons and tech-savvy teenagers. It is also the story of the greatest pirate in history, the most powerful figure in the music industry, a revolutionary invention and an illegal website that offered four times as much music as the iTunes Music Store.
Stephen Witt traces the secret saga of digital music piracy, beginning with the German engineers who invented the MP3 format and ending at the CD manufacturing plant in North Carolina where employee Dell Glover leaked nearly two thousand albums over the course of ten years. He recounts the moment that revolutionised an art form, when all music suddenly became available for free.
