On the other side of the coin though, there are perhaps (minor) infrigments on some kind of copyright


Not trying to flame ya bro. But damn you guys are being rude. First off, Metallica's doing it not just for them but for everyone else that feels the same way. Why? Because they have the money$$$! Minor infringements? I don't know where you guys are from but here in CA, when a new CD comes out there's about 30 people in school burning and selling the CDs. Nation wide that starts to add up to a lot more than a million. As for bootlegging onto tapes... these aren't crappy recordings on tapes that people are doing. People are recording CD quality sound onto a blank CD, even going as far copying the lyrics and sticking 'em right into the case and selling it for six bucks. Why buy the real thing for $15-$20 dollars when you got that? Granted suing won't solve the problem, but at least they're standing up for their beliefs. out to MetallicA for helping out all the other bands that can't afford to do anything about it!!!
