"How cultural and technological objects can reveal more information than their creators or sharers intended, or even imagined, when introduced into new contexts"--

A broad introduction to the changing roles of intellectual property within society

Chronicles the rise of an emerging musical and cultural moment rooted in today's global, networked communications infrastructure. Based on interviews with prominent DJs, attorneys, and music industry executives, this book argues that battles over sampling, file sharing, and the marketability of new styles such as "mash-ups" and "techno" presage social change on a far broader scale.
