Record companies and broadcast networks traditionally held a tight grip on the $38 billion music distribution business. They got "blown up" in 1991 when a German industrial electronics research firm called the Fraunhofer Institute released MP3.
By 1998, millions of young people were sharing and creating MP3 music content and software tools on the Internet. Half a million music files were available on the Net for free downloading, despite the fact that it was illegal. In that year alone, piracy cost the music industry $10 billion.
