to be fair, i agree with you. it's shortsighted of metallica, and anyone else who would persue this course of action.
digital music, and using the net to distribute it is how it's going to be done now. we've been bootlegging music for how long now? and by how many methods? i think this element of the music industry has always been and will always be. i don't have the solution...but metallica is doing themselves no favor by alienating the geeks, and all those other people with computers. i don't use napster personally..and i don't listen to metallica. but i can count on one hand the people in control at my university who understand the ramifications of screwing with net access to students..the last thing i need is some suit jacking around with my limited bandwith here.
grr..venting. thanks a lot, lars.
