وصف الكتاب
What links Taylor Swift to a factory worker?Kanye West to a German engineer?Beyoncé to a boardroom mogul?They’ve all changed the face of the music business, in the most unexpected ways.How Music Got Free is the incredible true story of how online piracy and the MP3 revolutionised the way our world works, one track at a time.‘This brilliant book tells you exactly how the perfect storm that forever changed the way we consume music took shape. Like many great works of investigative journalism it makes it clear that this is one of those stories you think you know. Until you realise you don’t’ John Niven, The Spectator‘Reads like an underworld crime story… concise and very funny… The most remarkable thing about Witt’s book is that virtually none of the names is familiar… Witt finds unlikely heroes in unlikely places’ New Statesman
المراجعة التحريرية
Enthralling… A terrific, timely, informative book… Witt is an authoritative, enthusiastic, sure-footed guide, and his research and his storytelling are exemplary… How Music Got Free stands comparison to The Social NetworkNick Hornby Sunday Times"Incredible, possibly canonical. . . . A story that's too bizarre to make up, but needed to be told. . . . Even if you're not a music geek, How Music Got Free is one of the most gripping investigative books of the year."Vice"Like Bond meets 28 Days Later... Witt tells a thrilling tale, with a cast of music biz bigwigs, painstaking German boffins, and pirates and petty thieves. Witt’s writing reminded me of all my favourite modern essayists: Remnick, Franzen and John Jeremiah Sullivan. I loved it"Colin Greenwood, Radiohead

Following a spell in East Africa working in economic development, he graduated from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in 2011.He lives in Brooklyn, New York.
