"Jim Allchin, Microsoft's group vice president for platforms, looked at my Apple PowerBook and smugly pointed out that the number of copies of Windows sold this year will be more than all the Macintosh computers used worldwide."
Kind of like Green Day trumpeting a platinum record in front of Itzak Perlman, as if they're the real artists.
I'm so sick of this whole debate. The reality is that no lawyer, artist or record company will stop what is happening. To use a lame ass metal lyric that I'm sure Metallica has used at some point:
THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL
It's over. We will personally see to that and it truly is unstoppable. No matter what anyone comes up with, it will be circumvented.
If Lars thinks that he, or anyone that he is able to make use of, can move at our speed..he's sadly mistaken.
This being the case, let's get on to topics that are important..
Population growth.. Human Rights... Civil liberties...
Metallica, in an ever blazing show of hypocrosy, has done plenty of the very same thing that they're against.
If any of you are old enough to remember the days back when Metallica was not a "big name" band, you would remember how tape trading was one of the biggest and best ways to get music that you couldn't otherwise find at record stores. At that time, most of the best metal was imported from Europe and the only way you could find stuff by bands that had a great deal of influence on the Metallica boys was to trade tapes. Ha, in fact, Metallica tapes were traded by Metallica themselves before their first album "Kill em' All" was even released. Where was their self righteous BS then?
Additionally, I have first hand knowledge of their tape trading activities in those days. I know that all of them did it...for a fact.
Metallica needs a (Master of)reality check. This whole thing is just another reminder of how absolute power corrupts absolutely. They've lost themselves to the very thing that hated when they were tape-trading pirates/copyright law violaters themselves.
Boycott Metallica....They're not worth your ears
Listen to jazz..it's real, not this fake image born corporate nonsense. Don't think for a second that Metallica is't corporate..they are the epitomy of corporate greed and hypocrosy. What a joke.
You're all a bunch of whiners

This kind of makes me mad. You can't expect them to change their model, at this point in the game, so quickly. Be glad that one of the premeire developers on the planet is sharing a bit of his mind with all of us. This is fantastic..to say the least.
Take this code and learn from it instead of being a bunch of babies.

I don't know which is more laughable....
Some of my best friends are apples....
Or his completely clueless review. This guy is a pundit, a mouthpiece and a tool. Not worthy of notice.
Why? WhoTF cares? As if MTV has any sort of understanding of a great movie or actor is. Slashdot, please get your head out of your ass.
BOYcott
