My post asked the same question. My point was - Metallica promised, during the hype of the video One , that they would not let this video lead to a lot of crappy butt-rock videos.

The very next album, Metallica (referred to as the "Black" album) contained mostly catchy songs ready to be piped into standard video format on MTV - and pipe they did.

I am allowed to "test-drive" automobiles, televisions, recliners, refrigerators, stereos, clothing, and sometimes even food and jobs, before accepting these items.

I feel that your artistic integrity is in question. I test most other forms of intellectual property (30-day software demos, browsing books and magazines before purchase, etc.) Should your songs be exempt? Why do you hold this opinion?
