I love how the radio stations here will play a Kid Rock song in which he clearly says "fuck", but they only play the censored version of Steve
Miller's "Jet Airliner".

I'm sorry, but my heart doesn't exactly bleed for Napster "victims" for the following reasons:
1. I never used Napster so the situation had 0 effect on me. 2. One of the reasons I never used Napster is because when it was around, high-speed connections weren't exactly affordable to someone on my salary. If people could afford to have a high-enough connection speed to use Napster, they could afford to buy a fucking Metallica CD.

a lot of kids used napster from college/whatever tertiary, and not classy colleges like yale or something. metallica was calling put for the blood of children
until they finally realised that siding with evil megacorps seriously hurt their street cred.

They may not have been Yale or Harvard, but I seriously doubt they were all poor man's colleges like the shitty place I went to.

i don't know how shitty your college was, and i'm not asking you to bleed your heart out for rich kids.
metallica set for really nasty trend for fairly mainstream dumbass rock acts. made them really believe that people sharing music among friend and strangers alike are as bad daylight robbery. ok, not all their fault. the bigass monopolies originating from yankeeland had a big influence. big enough to even make the local man try to crack down on file sharing of music by even acts like the mercury rev, who actually want people to spread their mp3s everywhere. you just look back at history and everytime a new form of recording medium hits the masses, someone(unions, companies, the man himself) always tries to gain complete ownership of it. it's ridiculous. it's greed. and metallica were fools to think they have everything to gain by siding with the pigs.

I've never actually heard a Metallica song, so I don't really have any opinion on their music or the band itself, but what I remember from the Game
Pond days is not that people were getting put in jail, but just that they were getting banned from Napster for downloading certain music, like Metallica and
Dr. Dre.
I'm not saying it was like this for everyone who got banned from Napster worldwide, but in that particular situation it did seem like it was the N-Sider Chat College Preppie crowd (ie, people far more advantaged in life than me) that were always whining about it. The same ones that would go on 200-post-long sprees bashing someone and then try to claim the next day that such behavior didn't exist there. |

How the hell can you have never heard a Metallica song???
I posted YouTube videos of "Sad But True" and "The Unforgiven" in the lyrics topic at my board. Check 'em out sometime.

For the record, I'm not saying that I agree that people who downloaded stuff with Napster should be put in jail, no more than I agree that people who
upload music videos to YouTube should be. The people who provide the product are the ones that should be dealt with if there's an issue with it. When you
sign up for a service or product, the user has every right to believe that what they're doing is legal.
But since the only effect that entire situation ever had on me was to sift through some message board posts of people complaining that they were banned from Napster, it's not really going to change my opinion of their music. In fact, it seems more people hate Metallica now for other reasons than that. I'd bet a lot of people that are on the internet now weren't even around when that whole Napster thing was going on.

Why do people always defend Nintendo or other game companies (like when they make crappy sequels because they know that sequels sell, or defeat system modding,
or whatever) by saying "They're a business; they're doing things to make money", but then they complain about Metallica and Napster?
Granted, those two sets aren't necessarily the same people, but even so it's odd that almost EVERYONE complains about Metallica and praises game
companies' business sense.
The thing about Napster was that it was just way too out there in the open. It was centralized, widely known, easy to use, comprehensive, everything. I'm pretty sure people still do pirate music, and, hell, you can look up tons of songs on even Youtube. But Napster made it way too easy. You can't flaunt piracy that blatantly. It's like how everyone speeds, but you don't go 100 MPH past a school zone. And Metallica's music has remained great. I'm sorry, but Load is a great album. 'Ain't My Bitch' doesn't rock? 'Bleeding Me' isn't a great epic? And the haircut thing is really stupid. They're middle aged males. Things biologically happen. |

i'm pretty sure i hate EA for eating up Origin(and continously releasing football game sequels), more than i hate metallica for being a bunch of stupid
assholes.

I'm guessing that maybe the reason is that no matter how many Mega Man games there are, they won't get you banned from Napster. I think Shawn
Fanning's "Of course this is legal. My kindergarten teacher always taught me that everyone should share," type of attitude was annoying, too.

I'm guessing that maybe the reason is that no matter how many Mega Man games there are, they won't get you banned from Napster.That's why I added the other example. Sony had something to do with closing down Lik Sang, for instance. I heard that it was possible that if you had an older version of a system (like an old Playstation with a port in the back) that could play copies or imports or use cheats or something, and sent it in for repairs, they'd defeat that (maybe just take the port out). And people seem to accept, with a weary sense of the inevitable, when a ROM site gets closed down.

All things considered, they probably should have gone directly after Napster itself rather than telling people they could go to jail for downloading their
music. Of course, the public's reaction of "screw you, Metallica, we hate you, but we'll continue to pirate your music" didn't exactly
inspire sympathy.

Other stuff:
Dr. Dre also was with Metallica against Napster. It doesn't seem like many people remember, care, or talk about that, though. The Offspring actually supported Napster.
See how your opinion ruined Christmas for everyone!

The Offspring puts their own videos on YouTube now. Or at least someone representing them. So does U2.

I was looking at that official U2 account at YouTube and some people claiming it's fake, but I thought only official contributors could have those ad
banners. I've never seen a normal personal account with one.

If it's fake, I wonder how they got that Red Hill Mining Town video. It was previously unreleased. =/
