I can understand why Metallica were against Napster, but I can't understand why they thought shutting it down would make any kind of difference.
Napster is down right? Who here can still get Metallica songs from Kazaa?
Im guessing everyone.
Then if they shut down Kazaa, who can still get Metallica songs via FTP? Or at least go round to a friends house who can and get a copy.
Yet again, im guessing everyone.
The only way I can see Metallica stopping the sharing/trading of their music is if they can shut down the internet and make CDRW's illegal.
Metallica are rich and famous, but there's no ****ing way they're ever going to stop their music being shared.They should stop crying about it and be happy they make more in a year than most of us in a lifetime. I have downloaded loads of Metallica songs... I have also bought all their albums (apart from st anger).
If my CD gets scratched to ****ery or someone steals it.. whats the problem with me downloading the songs? I've already bought a few of their albums twice because they were stolen...
