Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday March 5, 2009 @03:53AM from the i'm-sure-the-tags-on-this-will-be-friendly dept.

rudeboy1 writes "Lars Ulrich, drummer for Metallica, and long time opponent of file sharing admitted to 'pirating' his own album, Death Magnetic last year. 'I sat there myself and downloaded "Death Magnetic" from the Internet just to try it,' he said. 'I was like, "Wow, this is how it works." I figured if there is anybody that has a right to download "Death Magnetic" for free, it's me.'"

Hmmm... so if I was torrenting at the same time he was, and connected directly to him, and thus downloading directly from a band member, am I downloading legally too?
