I don't listen to Metallica... but I greatly respect
them.
You may not know this, but they ALLOW taping of their
shows - just like the Grateful Dead did, they have a
"taper's section" at their shows - and they promote
the trading of their shows... in any format.
They have every right to sue Napster and anyone else
who chooses to break copyright laws. Napster may seem
cool, and yeah, wow, you now have a bunch of mp3 files
and you didn't have to pay a dime... but what about
the art? The artist?
I congratulate Metallica on their decision to retain
ownership of their music and attempting to put an end
to this downward spiral of Web injected freeloader
anarchy.
Have I used Napster? Yes, about 4 times. What have I
downloaded? Mp3's of music I already own and live
recordings that aren't released. Do I own bootlegs...
yes, but only of Live material. Support art, help it
grow and mutate into greater things.
Ok - more than 2 cents... but it's Friday, and I want
a beer and I did a shitload of programming today, and
I'm going insane :)
And on a last note... go get some Sonic Wallpaper
tracks, they are good for you.
