Back when Napster first hit the scene back in 1999, I was completely blown away. Now, at the time I was only 12-years-old, but knowing that any artist and any album really judged how I spent my time on the Internet.
At this year’s SXSW, Alex Winter’s (“Billy & Ted’s Excellent Adventure”) “Downloaded,” which is a film about the rise and fall of John & Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker’s Napster program, premiered and since then I’ve heard nothing but great things.
What’s great about the release of the film is that AOL On will stream the movie for free on September 12th, but if you’d prefer to support the film, then you can buy it here.
Anyways, check out the most recent trailer below and sound off in the comments to let us know what you think:
