This was the first message of yours I saw but consider it a reply to all of your sanctimonious posts on this subject. For a reality check on just how ridiculous this philosophy of your can get, check here:
This shows how to take down a british web site in three easy steps. How can this be possible? Because in Britain, the ISP is responsible for the content of their users web pages. Brilliant idea, huh?
FYI, they didn't pass out those tapes, the fans passed out boot leg ones on their own. Oh my god! We better sue 3M!!
Oh, come down out of your ivory tower. Metallica has as much right to sue Napster for copyright infringement as the guy who's suing the english ISP for a less than flattering posting. None. Zilch. Zip. Napster isn't doing anything except allowing people to share files. By your logic, Metallica should also be suing MS because, hey I could setup a global share and share all my mp3's, right? But that isn't MS's fault is it? It's my fault. Let me say that again. MY fault. A philosophy of personal responsibility that escapes most people these days. It's always someone elses fault. Maybe their record sales suck because the band sucks. But no, it must be Napster's fault. What a freakin' joke. I hope they lose badly, loudly, publicly and in complete humiliation.
