As a former Metallica fan, I think it's time to organize and force the band to reason. They are pawns to the Label's lawyers. I think Metallica's inclusion in this stupid pursuit is exclusively the result of their ignorance of technology and their blind faith in their legal counsel. Metallica as a band used to encourage bootlegging of their live shows. I remember seeing the table they set up for fans to place their recording equipment on the Justice tour. Where is that attitude and graciousness torwards their fans now. They acknowledged the importance of their fans once and that without their fans they wouldn't exist. It's high time to bring their attention back to that fact. We are the ones who make or break Metallica. Show your voice in the face of their arrogance. Boycott Metallica. Raise your voices loud in unison and they will hear.
