How Music Got Free

From Finance to Investigative Journalism

Stephen Witt had a background in  finance when he decided to
earn a degree in journalism. And his recent c-span book presentation
was riveting as well as educational.

How Music Got Free: The End of an Industry, 
the Turn of the Century, and the Patient Zero of Piracy
BY Stephen Witt.

A fascinating account of how one person really
can make a difference…
but not in a good way.

One takeaway for would-be and emerging entrepreneurs
in any industry is to take a closer look at their ideas or business
models and evaluate for weak security points.
In the 21st century, data breach or hacking
often means Disgruntled Former Employee.
