Great documentary about the 90s internet piracy scene on one side & the music industry on the other.
Very original footage from some of the major OG peer-to-peer file sharing "pioneers" (you will understand this remark after watching it).
The documentary does a good job of explaining their motivations & philosophy.
It is also putting the spotlight on the work of the "Recording Industry Association of America" (better known & feared by many as RIAA).
Many artists and industry professionals are interviewed, and it's great because that makes sure the documentary isn't only one-sided and also explains their motivation & thinking at the time.
The widespread file sharing has led the music industry to change dramatically and influenced how we consume content on the internet & our devices today.
Watch it and form your own opinion - decide for yourself if there actually is a villain & a hero in this story :)
