Lars Ulrich Pirates His Own Album

Posted by CmdrTaco on 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.'"

    White male breaks glass ceiling in America - news at 11.

    Stop making references to things you don't understand. This has nothing to do with a glass ceiling.

    If you take something without the intent to pay for it, you are a thief. The same thing is true if you walk into a store and steal an ABBA CD, just because you can, and never had any intention of buying the CD in the first place because you hate ABBA.
