The book delves into the music industry's gatekeeping by major record labels, particularly how the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) restricts independent artists' access to consumers online. It highlights the shift towards online distribution, allowing independent musicians to bypass traditional media. The author argues that as the industry commodifies music genres, it often strips them of their political significance to attract a broader audience. This analysis is particularly relevant for readers interested in music industry dynamics, commodification, and intellectual property issues.
