Re:money for Metallica (Score 1)

I am not sure how old you are, but some of us older Metallica fans remember the days when the band made their living from all the people who "bootlegged" material that was passed along to others, but now that the band makes more money from their mtv videos than from the bootlegging (some my age and mindset from the olden days may consider this being a SELLOUT, but this is amerika and people have the right to make money from their hard work) they are quick to want this removed. like i said i have no problem with the band wanting their music removed from napster, but they could treat their fans a little better i think! as for thinking that budding artists will be loosing from the big bad napster i would have to disagree. i have a friend in a DC hardcore band and they post all of their music in .mp3 for everyone to download and their shows have become bigger because of it. man i cant wait for the day when he can sue people for doing the same thing that could make him a big name in the music world.
