In his words, he became a fly on their wall, never gave up, and wanted to succeed deeply. In this interview with [Copy Grounds](http://copygrounds.com/?ref=hypebot.com), a new media discussion form, Shapter talks about the state of recorded music and his fears about how the industry around it is evolving. It's a really great and highly insightful talk.
