Metallica May Follow In Footsteps of Radiohead, NIN
fireheadca writes "Metallica, once strongly opposed to file-sharing, has hinted at going 'free' in the style of NIN and Radiohead. Having heard success stories about releasing music online, Metallica has decided it wants a piece of the action. Radiohead, as a pioneer of online 'pay what you want' music, has shown the world it is possible to profit by releasing music online, but would not post those profits. NIN, on the other hand, has reported at least $1.6 million in revenue. In hindsight, many people remember Metallica as the band that helped shutdown Napster. I purchased the NIN album, after many years of free downloads of the NIN collection, to help support the band. Would you buy a Metallica online album despite their former views?"
No. Metallica sucks.

Lars is an asshole. Harptallica are not. It's been fun to listen to them.
No calls now, I'm
A mashup of Metallica right before Metallica decides to go free. Free culture is winning!

What then, you're really into S&M?
You are an imbecile for spreading those harmful ideas and a fool because you do not understand what an apology is. I shall include tv example to clarify:
An apology contains three parts:
-Admitting you did something WRONG. (Counterexample by Homer Simpson: Mistakes were made.)
-Admitting it was YOUR fault. (Counterexample by Homer Simpson: I blame society!)
-Asking what you can do to MAKE UP for it, and do it if it's reasonable. (Example: Earl's Karma list)
Saying that Metallica shouldn't give a real apology is harmful and that is why you are an imbecile.
