How Music Got Free premieres June 11th exclusively on Paramount+.

Uncover the secrets behind the crime we all committed. From executive producers Marshall “Eminem” Mathers, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Paul Rosenberg and Steve Stoute and produced by Warner Bros. Unscripted Television/Telepictures in association with SpringHill, Interscope Films, and Shady Films, How Music Got Free details the fascinating, and often funny, inside story of the technology-driven disruption that changed music during the late-90s and early-2000s. File-sharing technology, combined with the insatiable demand for new music, created both the means and the motive for millions of young people to participate in outright theft – and be celebrated for it.

From New York City, to Los Angeles, to the small factory town of Shelby, North Carolina, the two-part series features the quirky genius of the heretofore-unknown “pirates,” the drama of the FBI investigations and convictions, and the frontline accounts of music’s biggest artists and executives. An unbelievable story of cunning, illegality, celebrity, and innovation, these are the events that changed the music industry forever. Narrated by Method Man, the series features interviews with Eminem, 50 Cent, Timbaland, Jimmy Iovine, Rocsi Diaz, Rhymefest, Steve Stoute and more.

oh shyt. This is gonna be good!! I never was on Napster when it happened. I remember being in the military and not good with the internet and a friend of mine was getting me songs on Napster that I hadn't heard in years and couldn't find for sale anywhere. Then a few years later, Kazaa and Soulseek hit. Kazaa gave me so many viruses that I stopped fukking with it. I still to this day over 21 years is still on Soulseek with the same username. Then I discovered blogspots and torrents. Even when I was doing all of that, I was buying and storing cds/vinyl because I'm a collector and I like reading credits. I still buy vinyl and cds today

I'm assuming this is an adaptation of the book of the same name? If so, this should be pretty good.

damn now this is my kind of thread :flabbynsick:

im old enough to remember napster on mac os 8.6! (not my screenshot but john cale is cool... velvet underground viola player)

there was Macster too, an unofficial client. and there was Hotline, and IRC. i remember when bittorrent was INVENTED and people were mad because there wasn't a MacOS client yet. Napster didn't last long, but Gnutella and other P2P programs like Soulseek appeared in the wake and it's been ON since then.

i have pirated a TON of music, but if i like it, i will buy it on vinyl from a source as close to the artist (if not the artist themselves) as i can.

most of your favorite musicians make their real money from touring and merch anyway. i dont feel too bad about pirating. their label will screw them regardless of what i do.
