I'm glad that I've found out about this soon enough to sign it with my name and am proud to be at least a very small part of it. It's a subjective story from and about Thirty Seconds To Mars being sued for 30 Million Dollars by their label and the making of "This Is War". Apart from that other musicians and former and present music executives have their say and show that the music industry uses an antiquated business-model that's not compatible with any form of art...let alone music. Artifact is compelling from beginning to end, very emotional, very funny and very informative. It sets the bar very high for every further music documentary.
I was around musicians most of my life. As a producer, editor and interviewer of my own radio show I've had a common knowledge of the music industry and how it works. Befriended bands had and some still have oppressive contracts, which don't allow them to take their own decisions, but on the other hand they have to finance almost everything on their own. I thought I knew it all, but even I learned something new. This movie is important. It's time for a change !!!
