There are 2 stories in one here. The first is the story of EMI suing TSTM for $30M, the internal politics going on at EMI that caused this to happen and how it affected the band.
To watch this is, at times, almost painful, they have to continue to produce an album, promote previous success and be polite to people that stop them in the street, all the while buckling financially and psychologically under this mind boggling lawsuit.
The second story is what the internet and free downloads have done to the music industry. The Record labels don't intent to take a hit for the loss of income, and ultimately it is the very musicians that the fans idolize, that take the hit.
Even if TSTM it not one of your favorite bands it is well worth watching.
