See, I could rant and rave and bitch and moan about this topic for hours.
Except I like some Metallica songs and really, I have no right to complain if I don't like it. The one thing I will say, is that Lars Ulrich is a F..king dip-s..t who should've been thrown out of the band long ago . . . if only he wasn't such a kick ass drummer. Oh, and, St. Anger was Sh!t. |

the way i see it

what i think should have been done about the whole napster thing was this. napster was/is an online application for sharing music, therefore it can have certain commands written into it like limiting the kbps that a file can be downloaded at all files uploaded could have been converted to 128kbs low quality but it gives you a chance to sample the music before you buy it, and no loss to the artist record company and most of all napster, would have benifited all, but the M crew are Bay area weenies bunch of greedy liberals. it seems hollywood has even turned on us as well as advertisers, its all about the money, but the music industry went after recordable tapes in the 80s then the mp3 format in the 90s and shortly after the started picking on us. i know people who got 2 and 3 thousand dollar BULLY letters stating they is no offer of a settlement please pay this amount. fortunately when i got my letter i had very little on my machines that i downloaded without having. maybe 1000 songs today out of over a million i have digitaly stored. the UPCs i scanned them one page each and sent 11 bundles of paper to the lawyers office that sent me the letter without ever opening the second box all scans were returned to me unopened and the issue was dropped .and sticking them with the postage both times. what i want to know is how they had a list of every file on my computers , not just the mp3s but every file? were my rights violated for profiteering? who gave anyone the right to enter my home and violate my computer without my permission? stand up to for yourself you may gain more ground than you would normally, you are your own responsiblity and yours alone. and most of all stand up to the entertainment business, if we dont it will cost us 10 times what it does to go to a movie just to watch or listen to it at home, they want to charge you for the convience? like 7-11. example Blue-Ray yeah looks great, after almost 2 decades of DVD of course it does its about time, took them long enough should we get a discount? oh hell no now we want you to pay more even though we have know about the tech for years and could have used it, we just werent finished milking you yet. i say download like hell and store it on an external drive, paybacks a bitch...Starting with M |

Man, do I get tired of people badmouthing Metallica about the whole Napster thing. I'm not a big fan of theirs by any means and don't think they've really done anything worthwhile since the late 80s/early 90s, but I get really sick of people acting like we all have a god-given right to free music. Personally I don't think file sharing is a big deal but if Metallica does, so what? They're the ones making the music, I think they have a right to decide how they do and don't want it distributed.

Wow...this was one of the first, if not the first thread I ever made here.
So yeah, bumping 3 year old discussions is generally not a good idea.

Why I hate Metallica: Because their fans will call most other music 'pussy' and will dismiss anything that's not metal as garbage. Oh and they all think that 'Master of Puppets' is a lyrical masterpiece
