How Two Guys Broke the Music Industry
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 бер 2023
- In the late 90s, the record industry was hitting record profits, everyone was rolling in money thinking "nothing will stop us now." That was at least, until Shawn and Sean created Napster and turned the whole industry upside down overnight. Too many old farts refused to accept that the times were changing, and as such, began a decades long battle for the record industry, one lasting until this very day.
All music by me
2:20 CDs contain uncompressed PCM unless you bought a burner in the late 90s and made your own MP3 CDs. Some people burned PCM CDs from MP3s so they would play on an ordinary CD player but you lost both the extended record time MP3 gave you and the original sound quality the MP3 threw away.
Thanks for correcting :)
Good comment, glad someone already pointed this out! CDs have much higher bitrates than an MP3.
Great start to a channel. Weird Al's "Don't Download This Song" from 2006 is a funny take on the whole controversy.
10:23 a friendly reminder that Metallica mocked Kurt Cobain after he un-alived himself and it was Lars that said that Dave Grohl was gonna work at McDonald’s since Nirvana was over.
Good video, very likeable presentation
"You wouldn't steal(download) a car!"
Wanna bet? If I could download a new car with slightly fewer specs but as safe & reliable as one off a lot rather than having to spend several years of income on one, I'd happily make my modem scream.
If 3D printing keeps advancing, it’ll be interesting to see if we get an open-source car.
all you videos seem hella intertaining
how are you so slept on? i hope that you showing up in my feed bodes well for your channel because man oh man this is some quality content that has criminally few views.
i was about 14 when napster hit the net and oh my god, i was born to pirate. i feel zero guilt, too. i never would have bought those albums, and for the albums i would have bought? i did! i did buy them! and i saw the bands i got into! and bought merch! napster turned me into a music *freak.* and don't even get me started on the stuff that followed, i would love to see a video on something like the golden age of oink's pink palace, like when trent reznor was a member and talked about how it was better than itunes lol. those were the days. god. i sound so old but seriously, it's genuinely harder to find some of the stuff i used to listen to back in the day now that it's harder to just hop on a torrent site and snag whatever album you want. sucks!
Found this channel today in my feed too. 100k views in a couple days quality videos . Going to blow up soon
@@Geauxtigs here's hoping!
Recordings of classical music do have copyright protection. A piece of music that was written, say, 100 years ago can be recorded or performed in its original form by anybody. However, a recording of that music is copyrighted and is afforded protection because the recording itself is seen a a creation at a particular point in time, after the writing of the music.
idk how i got recommended your channel but you been putting out heat since day 1 keep it up
Well, this channel is an unexpected surprise! G'day, fellow Strayan, from the Sunshine Coast. 😁
7:00 "How dare you be my fan!" Oh Lars, such a grumpy old man.
Incredible work kid keep it going!
Great videos bro. 👍
Ok but most CDs cost $20 or more in the 90s 😭 it was a dark time when you weren’t even sure if most of the album would be any good so you had to gamble
They didn't cost $20 where I lived.
Thankyou Napster 💖
When Sytem Of A Down released Steal This Album, I stole the album. Still have it.
Great video. Entertaining and informative
Great vid this could easily have 1.3M not 1.3k
Love your content, keep up the great work
Great video!
Nice video, but audio CDs definitely do NOT contain MP3 files. The audio of a CD is much better than an MP3 as it's uncompressed Red Book standard PCM format.
Limewire... Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time... A long time.
How does this have so few views?
legit
Still haven't reach 1k
Bro music singles have existed since the 60s there are 45 RPM records that literally only have one song on each side there were single your whole theory about becoming a new thing because the digital age makes literally no sense at all when you look at the history of the music industry
your correct he has skipped over that history of the industry, the problem was with the CD single it cost the same to manufacture as a album ! Apple just reopened the business of selling singles.
10:50 Any record of Classical music is still copyrighted music!!!! Nevermind if the piece was composed 300 years ago, if you record it today is YOUR copyright.
Public domain and copyright-free is not the same thing.
It’s heresy that this video has so little views
The music industry was probably due for a correction in the 2000’s when the CD bubble burst, but if it had collectively played its cards better, it would have seen something closer to a 1/4 or 1/3 drop instead of 1/2.
To be fair, there were folks in the industry that basically said, “this is bad and wrong, but we need a viable legal alternative asap!”, they just didn’t have the influence they needed.
Dave Grohl based as usual
Great video, but "(You Drive Me) Crazy" is a bad example of "Who TF knows."
Fair point haha
Lars Ulrich
Selfish manlet

Good video, though Steve Jobs didn't save the day. On the contrary, he only further devaluated music as an artform in the course for corporate control. The gatekeepers are still there & the situation is actually worse for artists, because with iTunes® he set the precedent for the likes of Spotify® & TikTok® where the artists are paid an even smaller fraction percentage of sales units & the streaming service host takes the lion's share. Unlike record labels, streaming services do not make any financial investment in developing & producing an artist's work, so apart from the use of their streaming platform it's really money for nothing. Also taking into account that all of the "viral" sensations on those platforms only achieved doing so through corporate or private financial backing & sponsorship. It's the same situation right here on UA-cam. Without that all-important sponsor money, people won't ever find your material in recommendations lists etc. Steve Jobs just made good on his 1983 investment, that's all.
Pretty crazy how Vinyls made a comeback
Just shows how stupid people are ! Its a ideology not a format!
