The People's Protocols: Gopher, Usenet, Napster and BitTorrent

Protocols the establishment couldn't control. Gopher — the open library the Web beat, and its modern revival in Gemini; Usenet's unstoppable decentralized news; the NYT's 'Culture of Free' and full retrospectives on Napster, the two students who broke a $20 billion industry; and BitTorrent's Bram Cohen — interviews and the story of the protocol that outlived every attempt to kill it.
