Host John Heilemann explores the interactive nature of the modern World Wide Web, from early successes like Napster and the still popular Craigslist, to more recent phenomena like the social networking sites MySpace and Facebook.
In this episode, "People Power," teenager Shawn Fanning invents Napster and forever changes the way music is shared over the Net -- and, later, the way people communicate with each other via this medium.
Download: The True Story of the Internet is about a revolution -- the technological, cultural, commercial and social revolution that has radically changed our lives.
And for the first time, we hear how it happened from the men and women who made it possible.
From the founders of eBay, Yahoo, Amazon, Netscape, Google and many others, we hear amazing stories of how, in ten short years, the Internet took over our lives. These extraordinary men and women tell us how they went from being geeky, computer obsessed nerds to being 21st-century visionaries in the time it takes most people to get their first promotion. And, how they made untold billions along the way.
The style of the story-telling is up close and personal. With first-hand testimony from the people that matter, we tell a story that has all the excitement of a thriller -- full of battles and back-stabbing, moments of genius and moments of sheer hilarity. You will never surf the net in the same way again.
Download is hosted by technology journalist John Heilemann. He's an edgy, combative, hi-energy New Yorker who never takes anything at face value. He's also a personal friend of most of Silicon Valley's most important characters and he revels in craziness of it all. After all, this is a story in which 20-year-olds become overnight billionaires, create, destroy and re-create more wealth in ten years then human race has ever seen, and still struggle to get a date.

Hey all you people this video is great but all you lame PC/MS users are missing 1 big thing. APPLE!!!! Crawl back to your virus riddin PC's/Daf interface/copy cat bugger all system and just remember THE MAC
this documentary is ridiculously biased towards the music industry. just because you like music, it doesn't mean you can just take whatever you want. there are people who are trying to live off of this. it just shows how incredibly short sighted the general public is. as soon as musicians aren't making any money selling CD's, they'll have to jack up the prices for playing shows. then the fans will act like the artists are ripping THEM off by charging a hundred bucks for a show
I originaly said stupid cuz he made me mad when he said the ugliest band about MetallicA and maybe I was way out of line , I get it he is smart , but u gotta understand that i aint the only guy that dislikes this Heilemann
