I totally agree with you elena! I just hate it when I see or hear people say that Metallica and Lars are betraying their fans and this and that all because of Napster! I mean..sure I download music but thats just for A song that I like and I see no point in getting the whole cd for...I have like a TON of cds lol and I still buy them, wow what a concept! OH and get this! My bf's little brother whos like 17, is a Metallica fan...ok so my bf and him were having an argument about who was a bigger Metallica fan....his brother said he was a bigger fan because he downloaded the music!? I just looked at my boyfriend and said "Uhhh...actually Lars would frown upon that fact..."

People laugh at me when I tell them that I use Napster now lol. The Napster-to-go for my mp3 player is a great deal. People want too many things for free. Wasn't there an article recently about a band who's barely getting by because all of the fans want the music for free and the lead singer was against Metallica for suing Napster? |

Me neither, I also don't understand why when I saw some Kind Of Monster some fans were tearing apart their Metallica albums and stomping on them. One guy said, ''I don't want anything to do with Metallica no more'' and I was like,....WHAT?? Think about it...if you were an artist would you want your work being downloaded out there for free? I wouldn't. Plus, I'm not a fan of downlaoding stuff...I like to own the albums and show off a d collection. It just, like, satisfies my fandoml way more rather than to downlaod the stuff, and download it for free is worse. ...lol, Am I the only one who thinks it that way?

No,I think the same. Too bad because I can't talk with that kind of metallica "fan".Maybe I would can make him understand that his attitude doesn't make any sense.

I all i say is good fucking on them! They worked so hard, and still do now, to create that music that we love so much. Having someone download it from the site is stealing, as we all know. I didnt care too much for it when It all aired out, I was only 14 or 15 and didnt even know what a damn computer was. But as I got older I understood. From that day on I have stood by Metallica and Lars for doing what they did. I salute them for having the balls to stand up for their rights. I know I would have done the same thing... Edit; I was actually 14 or 15 with the whole Napster fiasco. Oops! I was think of something else.... lol My Bad!!!! |

I FULLY AGREE>> I hadn't a f***ng idea when this ''case'' happened back in 2000/2001 cause i didnt knew that MetallicA they re ''carying on their showlders'' 23 years carreer i was a piece of shit that i was listening ''MetallicA sucks and Metallica is Over,, or MetallicA betrayed us...and that kind of stuff. But; When my mind was full and inside it's place i realised that All these Words by the ''fans'' was just crap!!!! From the first time i listened the REAL FACTS (About I Disappear ) i knew that Lars was so right, and All MetallicA of cource.!!! and this is soi right and wasome ;'' I salute them for having the balls to stand up for their rights'' MetallicA always had the BAlls to stay in their rights |

I totally understand you, I've been in the same stuff most of my life. When I was 12 and I first started to get into Metallica, my parents (and everyone around me) were really poor. My mother used to give me BGN0.30 ($0.20) for breakfast. Instead having a breakfast, I was collecting the money, so after a month or two I could buy a Metallica MC. Fortunately, nowadays things are getting better

I totally agree with Metallica wanting to protect their work. NO ONE should get other people's work for free. But how many of you have never downloaded a song for free? How many of you have never recorded a movie from tv on VHS? How many of you have never copied a cassette or recorded one from the radio? Piracy has always existed. Be it an album or just a song...the "but I only like 1 song" is not an excuse, it's still stealing.It's inevitable: if people can get sth for free that would cost 20$ in the shops, most of them will get it for free. Even those (like ME) who totally agree with the artists' will to protect their work. I think the solution would be to find a happy medium: lower the prices in the shops. If I can get sth for free instead of paying 20$ for an album, I'll get it for free. If I can get sth for free instead of paying 10 bucks...I'll probably pay and have a physical cd with its booklet and cool piccies and good quality and stuff, to add to my collection. And this does not depend on the artists: it's the company's decision. The cool thing is: when you buy blank cds, you pay a tax that goes to the artists' association or so...that's great And another thing: Metallica are one of the "best" in that...I payed only 15Eur for Death Magnetic. |

u dont pay a tax to the group yes u buy their albums but u dont pay the tax them. in my country we have to pay %30 tax so it is too much money we pay but it goes government i don't know if this is true but i dunno it was my opinion also i think metallica earns much money because of their concerts -i think-
