Partners In Crime

About this title

Who owns a song: the person who made it or the person who bought it? Is piracy organized crime or class struggle? Metalheads who market their own music, folklorists who turn tribal aphorisms into short stories, music archivists who hoard and share everything they can get their hands on, a smooth talking DVD street salesman, media moguls and lobbyists: these are the fascinating figures who throng the global bazaar at the heart of piracy.
