In the liner notes to your Garage, Inc. CD, the author notes that "[James Hetfield] was astounded by the size and specialist depth of [Lars] Ulrich's [record] collection. It was, Hetfield says plainly, 'fucking huge....I would stay over at his place for days at a time, making tapes of his records and sleeping on the carpet.'" (Empasis added.)
How do you reconcile your current stance toward copying and trading music with your previous history of doing exactly that?
(I would caution that arguing the sheer volume of napster downloads would fail due to the 'slippery slope' principle.)
This actually happened to a company that I used to work for (a huge financial services institution.) One of the employee-related internet sites we had set up somehow got directed to a large pornographic site chock full of links to other pornographic sites. Needless to say this did not sit well with the conservative bankers, and to compound matters it took days to get the problem resolved. On the plus side, though, it was the one and only opportunity we as employees ever had to surf the net for porn without fear of repercussions ("hey, I was just checking out the new company site, was all....")
