When One Factory Worker Brought Down an Empire
A black Jeep Cherokee pulls into the parking lot of a massive North Carolina CD factory. Inside, Dell Glover clocks in for another twelve-hour shift, making $11 an hour pressing compact discs. Outside these walls, he's known as "ADEG"-the most prolific music pirate in history, responsible for leaking nearly 2,000 albums before their release dates. But Glover didn't invent the weapon that would nearly destroy the music industry. That honor belongs to a socially awkward German scientist whose revolutionary audio format was officially declared dead the same year it would change everything. This is the story of how three parallel lives-a brilliant engineer, a powerful music mogul, and an unassuming factory worker-converged to create the greatest media revolution of our time, transforming music from a product you owned into something that simply floated free through the digital ether.
