Music doco 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.
From executive producers Marshall “Eminem” Mathers, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Paul Rosenberg and Steve Stoute.
