A much better written and more interesting account than Appetite for Self-Destruction. Deftly navigates through complex technical, economic, political, and legal details while focusing on the rich narratives of the inventors, hackers, executives and investigators. Story was both familiar and unfamiliar, which sustained my interest throughout. A case study in the utterly disruptive role technology can play in an industry.

This book is interesting, if it's the sort of thing you're interested in.

This book is incredible: Full of music and piracy history, told in narration resembles a fictional story which sparks further imagination, comprehensive, and so complete. But I don't understand anything about rap, so I may deduce half a star out of full set of rating. Recommended book!
