All You Need to Know about Music and the Internet Revolution

Conrad Mewton. Sanctuary Publishing, $22 (215pp) ISBN 978-1-86074-325-2

Confused by the whole concept of free music on the Internet? Ex-musician and band manager Conrad Mewton, now an attorney in a top music law firm in London, analyzes the Net's impact on music and offers practical tips for those who want to join the fun in All You Need to Know About Music & the Internet Revolution. Mewton explains how to find, create and listen to MP3s, create an Internet record label and download music. Though computer geeks and serious music fans will be familiar with many of these nuts and bolts, even they should find Mewton's legal insights helpful. Recent developments in the Napster case date some of his discussions but only slightly; in fact, Napster's woes will probably boost sales of this book, because users of that service will need tips on other Internet music venues.
