  1. Plagarizing? by Signal+11 · · Score: 5 · on Shut Down Metallica, Not Napster
    Jon, this article has several passages almost identical to this article, including:

    The announcement sent shock waves through the online music community. - Jon

    The massive number of individual names to be unloaded on Napster's front door could send shock waves through the online music community. - C|Net

    "Yesterday, the band's attorney said his firm will deliver close to 60,000 pages of documents to Napster today, asking that the site block all the indidividuals named from its service." - Jon

    "The band's attorneys will deliver close to 60,000 pages of documents to the small software company Wednesday afternoon, asking that Napster block all of those individuals from the service." - C|Net

    There's also several references to the "chilling effect", paraphrasing the C|Net article. Jon, are you trying to get yourself and slashdot sued?

    What's worse, why is slashdot interviewing Metallica? I mean, it would be like Linus asking Bill Gates to take a look at his kernel. Do you really want to stir up a hornet's nest? I see no productive conversation emerging from the interview and it will likely duplicate the answers given on last night's Metallica chat from Artist Direct.

  2. Tell 'Em What You Think Of This... by GeekLife.com · · Score: 5 · on Metallica Wants To Ban 335,435 Napster Users

    They're having a chat today specifically about the Napster shenanigans at 5pm PT (GMT -8). Show up 1/2 hour early to submit questions/comments.

    As the press release says "Hold nothing back: this is Metallica, after all. They can take it."

  3. Metallica Chat... by twiin · · Score: 5 · on Metallica's "Justice" And Napster

    Metallica is having an online chat on May the 2nd, as part of an ArtistDirect promotion... Somehow, the idea of a few thousand slashdotters arriving, and voicing their opinions about the Napster fiasco is amusing... At the very least, a good way to let them know what you think.
