Why We Love How Music Got Free

We all love a true crime story and Stephen Witt has actively documented one of the biggest criminal operations in history which led to an illegal market in music that was four times bigger than the iTunes Music Store!

He shows how the invention of the MP3, the actions of certain people in the music industry and the internet combined to put music into the hands of millions at the expense of the traditional labels and the artists they served.

And most of all he demonstrates how this secret underworld functioned and operated to revolutionize the art form of music.

How Music Got Free is a thrilling read which will leave you amazed at both the ingenuity of Internet pirates and the damage that they did to the traditional industry.
