With the rising popularity of online music, the nature of the music
industry and the role of the Internet are rapidly changing. Rather
than buying records, tapes, or CDs_in other words, full-length
collections of music_music shoppers can, as they have in earlier
decades, purchase just one song at a time. It's akin to putting a
coin into a diner jukebox_except the jukebox is in the sky, or,
more accurately, out in cyberspace. But has increasing copyright
protection gone too far in keeping the music from the masses?
Digital Music Wars explores these transformations and the
far-reaching implications of downloading music in an in-depth and
insightful way. Focusing on recent legal, corporate, and
technological developments, the authors show how the online music
industry will establish the model for digital distribution,
cultural access, and consumer privacy. Music lovers and savvy
online shoppers will want to read this book, as will students and
researchers interested in new media and the future of online
culture.
