Digital compression technologies such as MP3 and Napster are having
an explosive impact on the way music is distributed. Every day,
hundreds of thousands of music files are searched for, shared,
recorded, and listened to by computer and Web users-all free of
charge. It's a boon for consumers and a disaster for record
companies, and the end result can be nothing less than a cultural
and economic transformation. Sonic Boom is a fascinating narrative
of the controversy that's sending shock waves through the music
industry. It's the story of musicians such as the Beastie Boys and
Public Enemy, who are reaching fans without record company support;
entrepreneurs who are distributing MP3 files without licensing
agreements; and record-industry executives who are fighting for
their business at every turn. It reveals how, even as the
star-maker machinery of record companies remains in the hands of
the old guard, innovators are finding ways to outsmart it. Peopled
with a sensational cast of characters that includes rock stars,
music moguls, teenagers, and Internet entrepreneurs, Sonic Boom
exposes the recording industry's plight as a fascinating microcosm
of the vast cultural, ethical, and legal issues that all industries
face in the information age.
