これが、Spotifyだ。

＜p＞＜strong＞An innovative investigation of the inner workings of Spotify that traces the transformation of audio files into streamed experience.＜/strong＞＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spotify provides a streaming service that has been welcomed as disrupting the world of music. Yet such disruption always comes at a price. ＜em＞Spotify Teardown＜/em＞ contests the tired claim that digital culture thrives on disruption. Borrowing the notion of “teardown” from reverse-engineering processes, in this book a team of five researchers have playfully disassembled Spotify's product and the way it is commonly understood.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spotify has been hailed as the solution to illicit downloading, but it began as a partly illicit enterprise that grew out of the Swedish file-sharing community. Spotify was originally praised as an innovative digital platform but increasingly resembles a media company in need of regulation, raising questions about the ways in which such cultural content as songs, books, and films are now typically made available online.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞Spotify Teardown＜/em＞ combines interviews, participant observations, and other analyses of Spotify's “front end” with experimental, covert investigations of its “back end.” The authors engaged in a series of interventions, which include establishing a record label for research purposes, intercepting network traffic with packet sniffers, and web-scraping corporate materials. The authors' innovative digital methods earned them a stern letter from Spotify accusing them of violating its terms of use; the company later threatened their research funding. Thus, the book itself became an intervention into the ethics and legal frameworks of corporate behavior.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
