00:00When Napster first came about, I didn't understand the internet yet.
00:04I thought Yahoo was a person.
00:0699 was really the biggest year.
00:09When the CD business took off, everyone got fat.
00:12You could sell 600, 700 million CDs a year.
00:16You had your fly Walmart CD holder on your visor.
00:20It was kind of like printing money.
00:22That was the business that we were in for years.
00:26But we talk about what went wrong, what went wrong for who?
00:29The artist or the industry?
00:32The music industry had always been really concerned about piracy.
00:37Once file sharing technology came along, they understood, though, that everything that had come before was nothing.
00:44People just started ripping music and sharing it.
00:49All that work, writing it, recording it, tweaking it.
00:53Now these songs leak.
00:54And I'm like, we're blaming our friends.
00:56Get the off my phone.
00:59First, I was like, I'm going to take just one.
01:01And I said, this shit, this Mary J. Blige.
01:04They smuggled them out in food trays and metal belt buckles.
01:08I didn't feel bad.
01:10I feel bad at first.
01:10They wanted me to be good.
01:12They'd have paid me more.
01:13As soon as the artist turned in the record, you could set the stopwatch for how soon it was going to leak.
01:18Maybe they don't know that this is completely f***ing legal.
01:21I don't even know, is there a statute of limitations on this sh** before I start saying that I was downloading and I was a part of Napster?
01:28The music industry was flailing.
01:31That's where we put on helmets.
01:33Like, we were at war.
01:3417 FBI agents rounded our apartment complex.
01:37Here's what you don't understand if music should be free.
01:40I have an entire army of people that need their paychecks.
01:42It's one of the biggest exports America has.
01:45And it's going out of business.
01:47Houston, we've got a problem.
