Digital culture industrya history of digital distribution /[electronic resource] :by James Allen-Robertson. - Houndmills, Basingstoke, Hampshire :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Introduction -- 1. Writing a Digital History with Digital Documents -- 2. MP3.com and Napster: The Entrepreneurs of Risk -- 3. GNUtella: Decentralising the Masses -- 4. FastTrack: The Business of Piracy -- 5. BitTorrent: Revolution in the Network -- 6. Hacking the Market -- 7. New Media Gatekeepers -- 8. A History of Digital Distribution.

Through detailed intricate histories of illicit Internet piracy networks, Digital Culture Industry goes beyond the Napster creation myth and illuminates the unseen individuals, conflict and code behind the turn to digital media distribution. By utilising the internet as an archive of digital documents, the author presents unique histories of sites such as MP3.com and The Pirate Bay, and illuminates the software, values and people behind networks such as GNUtella and BitTorrent. By examining topics such as hacker ideology, data rights management and the ownership of digital media, this book demonstrates how our relationship to media objects has been transformed by digital distribution. The book also examines the method behind the work and demonstrates how digital documents can be utilised for historical research. It argues for histories that account for detail, the unintended and the impact that code can have on the trajectory of social change.
