  • 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.

    If you weren't on Kazaa, Bear Share, Lime Wire, or Morpheus then this ain't for you. Also that modem dial up sound brought heavy flashbacks.

    The irony of me watching the documentary for free once it gets released 🤭

    TLDR: CDs were too expensive. In exchange for buying it, the listener got one or two good songs and an album full of filler tracks. Consumers were fed up.

    There was no there great feeling in the world, when waking up...walking to your computer and to see everything you had downloading overnight, being completed at 100% hahaha.

    Yeah, that’s utter bs. Filesharing made musicians popular. They made more money. Not less. They were just greedy. More people were and are still coming to concerts. That’s where artists make real money. They were profiting so heavily from file sharing before streaming that leaking became part of their promotion phase.

    My old computer still see's a psychiatrist from the trauma I put it through at 14.

    The great irony is that this killed physical media stores but helped more and more artists because you no longer even needed a label or to release a full album to potentially have a big hit. That said I was a Limewire boi growing up.

    What a time to be alive. Shout out to Limewire for getting me paid in high school. 🤣

    If this documentary hails Spotify as the hero, I'm going to have a problem with it.

    I had a nice little hustle in college selling pirated music, DVDs, PS2 games, pirated software and modded consoles. I was the only person on campus selling full DVD rips for $5 while everyone else were selling telecine films for $10. That helped pay for my college!

    50Cent always says his first album would have double the numbers if they counted the bootlegged sales lol

    As Clive Davis the head of Arista records said, The music industry had the opportunity to make music more affordable but they chose not to and this was the result.

    I was a Limewire man myself on a 56k dial up connection what would take me hours to get albums that's is seconds into todays world. Yet we now have streaming and im still surprised they still do CD albums

    The law needed to catch up. When it did, we compromised. Now we have Spotify.
