Pop Song Piracy: Disobedient Music Distribution since 1929
"Kernfeld's rich and stimulating book makes a significant contribution to current debates over technology, copying, piracy, and the political economy of the music industry. He clarifies not just the history of legal and illegal music copying but also the arguments about these practices and the complicated relationships that have resulted among the law, corporations, entrepreneurs, consumers, and the media." (Simon Frith, University of Edinburgh)"
