Gehry was born in 1929 in Toronto and studied architecture at Harvard. He is known for his unique style that uses unusual volumes and materials on building facades. Gehry has received many prestigious awards for his work, including the Pritzker Prize in 1989.
The MP3 format was created to efficiently compress audio files to enable easy sharing across systems, but it has become perfectly designed for illegal file sharing. While MP3 files are now considered cultural objects that people collect and exchange, they exist outside traditional economic systems and have no clear exchange or use value. The document discusses how MP3 collections maintain identity and what future solutions may arise for file sharing now that sites like Pirate Bay have been shut down.
