    I use Amazon's kindle e-reader online and, as it turns out, the some publishers inflated the price of their books. Since e-books are relatively new, it's hard to judge what the appropriate price for a story is when there is no manufacturing needed. Some exploit this gap in experience and are being brought to court.

    Even though it does say that it's a "copyrighted material," almost all contents of the "Pop Song Piracy: Disobedient Music Distribution since 1929" are accessible through Amazon's "look inside" (which is made possible by a publisher/owner). What does this sharing depend on? Why do some publishers allow people to read the book without buying it? (When you read a book in a library, at least one several copies are purchased). I wonder if it's because this book is published by The University of Chicago as opposed to some Penguin Publishing...

  • Barry Kernfeld’s Pop Song Piracy details nearly a century of disobedient music distribution from song sheets to MP3s.
  • there exists a complex give and take between distribution methods that merely copy existing songs (such as counterfeit CDs) and ones that transform songs into new products (such as file sharing)

    Barry Kernfeld's "Pop Song Piracy" would be an interesting book to read. Even though it costs $29 on Amazon.com, the publisher allows the readers to look inside the book, and pretty much access all of its contents...

Troy Davis liked it
  • Henry Jenkins notes in his book Convergence Culture;"I am seeing more and more black boxes.  there are my VCR, my digital cable box, my DVD player, my digital recorder, my sound system, and my two games systems, not to mention a hug mound of videotapes, DVDs and CDs, game cartridges and controllers, sitting atop, laying alongside, toppling over the edge of my television system"

    This is just a bit of a different explanation of the black box fallacy.
