First time poster, and I'm sure I'll put a few of you off here....but here goes:
What is wrong with you bunch of theives?
YOU ARE COPYING THEIR MUSIC (regardless of how good or bad it is), AND HELPING TO DISTRIBUTE IT TO OTHER THIEVES.
They have every right to sue every single person who copies their songs. Every time you pirate something, you take a risk. In times gone by, people understood that risk, now there are hoardes of newbie lamers who are more akin to AOLbies than anything else on the scene who have NO idea about the consequences.
Get over yourselves. Metallica's music was obviously good enough to copy and serve in the first place. You took the risk, and the risk bit you in the arse - that's real life.
I may not agree with them targeting individuals, but as long as they're not suing you, count your lucky stars - you got off lightly!
