OK, maybe capitalist pig is a bit extreme, but check this out.

I belong to Rhapsody. You can pretty much download any band's album
you could want, even obscure stuff like Acid King, Mercyful Fate,
Goatsnake, etc. etc. etc.

The deal is, you can transfer to your mp3 player for free, but you
have to buy the album to burn to CD. Fine. I listen to my mp3 player
anyways, I don't burn cd's anymore.

I have like.... 30 artists downloaded, Nirvana, Slayer, NIN, etc..
Practically every album they ever put out is available, sometimes
popular tracks are not, sometimes certain albums are not either.

Metallica is the ONLY band I've come across where you can't download a
single thing. You HAVE to pay for their album even to transfer to your
mp3 player. Even for Kill em All. Ride the Lightning.

Give me a break. There are bands on Rhapsody like Deerhoof who are
independent and don't make a lucrative amount of money like Metallica,
and these bands allow you to download ALL of their stuff.

Yet the behemoth that is metallica still want you to pay for
everything. Give me a break.

They're hypocrites.
