interesting (to me) story of the rise of the mp3, the surge in internet piracy of music, and the resultant changes in the music industry. Witt structures his story around three people - the inventor of the MP3, a North Carolina man who leaked an enormous number of cds to the internet, and the man who ran Universal Music during the 90s and was instrumental in the RIAA suits against average people who downloaded music illegally. I don't believe this is one of those nonfiction books that will enthrall you even though you didn't think you had any interest (like Seabiscuit, for example), but if this era of the music industry interests you, or the science behind the mp3 interests you, I think you'll like it.
