Assuming Mr Coward is not a troll... (Score 1)

I didn't think anyone here was either against or in favour of law 'n' order...just so long as they don't interfere with anyone's freedom. (In this case, the freedom to listen to the music they want...) Surely Metallica should be grateful that they are so popular on Napster? What is their attempt to block all these Napster users going to achieve? What is it meant to say? That they care more about their profits than their fans? Should I stop asking rhetorical questions now?

I find it odd that people equate "copying a thing" with "stealing a thing". Napster users can hardly be branded as criminals. They want to share music! What's wrong with that?
