- Napster documentary 2024
The founders of napster Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker could be considered nerds in the sense that they were highly skilled and enthusiastic about technology. Both individuals demonstrated a deep understanding of computer systems and programming, which enabled them to create Napster. The platform launched in 1999, revolutionized digital music sharing, enabling peer-to-peer file sharing of MP3s. However, it faced legal battles due to copyright infringement, leading to its shutdown in 2001. It paved the way for legal digital music platforms but left a lasting impact on the music industry's digital transformation. ENJOY ;)

During the napster and DC++ era my boss at the time actually got targeted by the RIAA and her IP. I don't remember the exact amount but it was somewhere around $8,000-10,000 to settle + attorney fees. She had a family with 3 children and it absolutely crushed her financially. Thankfully her son ended up getting a full scholarship for college a year later so she was able to use *some* of those savings to get the lawsuit off her back.
DC++ what an awesome era, i remember mIRC also 🫶🏻
Golden era! ❤
This guy sounds like Theo Vons brother or something. Anyways great video great style subbed
I've always been 50/50 about it, i kinda get Metallica's argument, if i put myself in their position i'd be pretty upset if say my employer figured out a way to get someone to do some of my work for free online and cut my pay in half as a result of just not needing to pay me as much anymore.
At the same time Chuck D's point is also correct that labels had been gatekeepers and that any methods that artists can connect with fans directly without shady gatekeepers is an upgrade, but, when people work they expect to be paid for their work.
Nowadays i think we have a better balance where the platforms aren't like Napster and instead pay the artists for the streams and monetize them with ads or subscriptions, so everyone got what they wanted, artists are still paid for their music and labels are no longer as big a deal as they used to be
Red Hot Chili Peppers was a bad choice for only wanting to hear one song. Californication is a killler album.
