artist only get $1 per CD sold while the record label gets damn near $10...they flashed it fast on the screen but that was the whole point of the documentary: RIAA got screwed for not adapting to the new business model of the digital age like when kodak films were replaced by digital cameras and artists went down with the ship

idk why artist have to take on the responsibility to make these tone deaf execs above them rich and fat...with eminem glorifying it, saying he has a whole team to feed, when he's obviously being taken advantage of and has to put out music forever...stockholm victim ass mentality, :scust: namedropping his handler paul whenever he needs to check his account statement not knowing if he's rich or broke and getting sticker shock on some pairs of shoes :scusthov:

no mention of nas? :dahell:

i thought steve stoute of all people would blab about how I AM got leaked...the doc turned into a 50 cent/eminem love fest for euro cacs to enjoy just to rewrite actual history and glorify scene rips over the first mercenary rippers...

the book left out a lot of details as well, this is just a music exec's view of filesharing and don't really talk about the real people in the trenches making those crazy DJ mixes with everybody on it and going napster diamond

didn't even mention soulja boy's crank that story over limewire that he told a million times :dead:
The focus was mainly on stuff that got leaked from the CD plant in North Carolina. I Am probably never made it there because it wasn't finished being made to be ready for mass production. That leak was from another source, but it would be dope to hear about it. Show needed more episodes

the show was adapted from the book of the same name and the book was lame AF for not including caveats from real filesharing history, because damn near everybody participated in it and it didn't cover the collective story from the people, just the NC plant whereabouts as 'new findings'...the OG article was better than the book, which was better than the movie -- with the latter 2 being cash grabs if you can get a better summary from the OG article. How you gonna name a title that broad just to cover a subsection of history? white boy revisionist history about the culture... :unimpressed:they do slick shyt like this out of neglect or convenience and don't even tell you about altering the perception of history until the book gets adapted into film, with some people waking up to realize the holes in history left unsaid, with the next generation like :ohhh:

all i remember from the book was that one of the guys who made napster had jewish nappy hair and his nickname was napster, so they named it that :dead:
