Publisher's Summary

The definitive inside account of the file-sharing revolution that overthrew the music industry, All the Rave reveals the family betrayal, greed, and mismanagement that hijacked one the most fundamental innovations of the Internet era.

Named one of the three best books of 2003 by Investigative Reporters and Editors Inc., All the Rave has been out of print until now and unavailable in most formats.

Author and veteran technology journalist Joseph Menn also wrote 2010's Fatal System Error: The Hunt for the New Crime Lords who are Bringing Down the Internet.

As an added bonus, this audiobook includes a special interview with the author, conducted by Susie Bright.

Critic Reviews

"The book, by Joseph Menn, provides a well-documented history of one of the most celebrated collapses of the Internet. But it goes far deeper, giving an inside account of the creation of Napster, the battle for its control and the maneuvering by big Silicon Valley names to try to turn music piracy into gold." ( The New York Times)
"That rare business book that nicely avoids either hatchet job or hagiography." ( San Francisco Chronicle)
"An admirable piece of reporting, of interest to both friends and foes of the movement Napster helped to create." ( The Washington Post)
