Here's a lengthy, yet fascinating and intriguing read about how a CD manufacturing plant employee learned to bootleg and pirate music CDs (as well as movies, games and PC software).

Take what is in the article with a grain of salt. There is surely some embellishing of the facts.
The article doesn't appear to be factually correct about the price of CD-R drives in 1994. Recorders were EXPENSIVE in the early 90s, like $3000-4000, not $600. CD-R drives didn't really fall under $1000 until 1996 or so.
Here is a sample from a mid-1994 PC Magazine with prices, even the software was expensive! https://books.google.com/books?id=-9SyS6tX8Gs … ecorder&f=false
MP3 releases in 1996 have to be pretty rare. The earliest stuff I have found comes from 1997. Back then, music was a quaint section of warez sites.

That's almost exactly what I wanted to write! Except that I think CD writers were a lot more expensive, more like $10.000. External, of course, and SCSI, of course.
The earliest stuff was actually mp2 IIRC.
