"The music industry's ongoing battle against digital piracy is just the latest skirmish
in a long conflict over who has the right to distribute music. Starting with music
publishers' efforts to stamp out bootleg compilations of lyric sheets in 1929, Barry
Kernfeld's Pop Song Piracy details nearly a century of disobedient music distribution
from song sheets to MP3s. In the 1940s and '50s, Kernfeld reveals, song sheets were
succeeded by fake books, unofficial volumes of melodies and lyrics for popular songs
that were a key tool for musicians. Music publishers attempted to wipe out fake books,
but after their efforts proved unsuccessful they published their own. Pop Song Piracy
shows that this pattern of disobedience, prohibition, and assimilation recurred in
each conflict over unauthorized music distribution, from European pirate radio stations
to bootlegged live shows. Beneath this pattern, Kernfeld argues, 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).
Ultimately, he contends, it was the music industry's persistent lagging behind in
creating innovative products that led to the very piracy it sought to eliminate"--Provided
