Metallica has every right to go after Napster for infringement of copyright
laws, I mean isn't it illegal to trade music that is copyrighted through
public domain unless it is marked as public domain? Yet there seems to be a
sudden critique of heavy metal music all of a sudden where all of these
disgruntled fans are complaining that it's "UNFAIR" that they can't trade
Metallica's music online now and all of a sudden Metallica's music sucks
now!! What Metallica is doing is protecting their integrity and protecting
what's rightfully theirs. It's the exact same thing as protecting your own
private belongings and private property as long as it's deemed as private
property.

Metallica - MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU - You go guys!! Don't let the bastards wear
you down!!

I await the comments about being a capitalist pig.

friends, suddenly, metallica is "bad" and "they suck" They say "metallica
doesn't understand that recordsales go up by speading music through napster"

I think we've all known this for around 9 years anyway. Fuck, I still hate
that "black" album. Load and Reload... ugh, what a fucking joke. They
should be forced to change their name, cuz they haven't been metal since
1988! Ah well, there's metal bands doing stuff that's 10x better than what
Metallica ever did, so its not a big loss that they sold out and turned into
corperate-cocksucking pop stars. Metallica is the same as Brittney
Papsmear,
the Backdoor Boys, and N-Suck as far as I am concerned.

Ah yes, another 'true' Metallica fan. Who hasn't been a fan
long enough to know about all the complaining that went on back
when Load and Reload of Shit were released, about how Metallica
had pretty much sold their music out just to pump out another
album.

I lived in L.A. back when Lar$ was just a moneygrubbing asshole
instead of a moneygrubbing crybaby asshole. I have some of
their bootlegs gleaned from the L.A. band scene. And I have
every one of their albums up until that Load. So spare me the
rabid fan bullshit.

Fucking posers...

I personally don't have a problem buying cd's. I like Napster cuz if someone
recommends a group to me, like Nick did with KMFDM, I can download a few
songs before I waste 20 bucks on something I might not like. And I'm sure
I'm not the only one who does that. Metallica's just a bunch of money
grubbing assholes with no regard for their fans.

when their not workign their day jobs, Funker Vogt did this on their

and they were rather rudimentary they all soudned liek Killing Fields,
luckily on Maschine Zeit they got their act together, or mayeb they
got jobs again,heres anote sinc eyou obviously only lsiten to

is what makes the money, not cd sales, cept for :Wumpscut: who doesnt
tour, if they dont want to work they tour and live off that money till
the next one,besides, u cna think about the sound u want while at work
and actually do it when u get home, less pressure on yourself because
you give yourself about 8 hours a day just to THINK

and about that music should be free comment, this person didnt back it

Yeah, but a glaring statement like that can't be ignored...

And you are correct, Metallica *are* right. Napster=theft and theft=bad.
People who say "music should be free" don't make sense to me. If you found a
convenient way to steal other people's cars, you'd say they were supposed to
be free too, no?

I knew you would say that, but my point is wouldn't you rather be able
to play music for a living then work 9 to 5?

Obviously most artists have to work as well, but I would think that most
people would prefer playing music as their job. That's all I was trying
to say. The original post said that music should be free. If it was free
no one would release anything. Sure they would probably play at home or
locally for their own enjoyment, but it would rarely go beyond that.

Why would it have to go further than that?

Interesting how what we need should be free and what we want should be
free-market.

While Cuba is far from "great" (as are, from a capitalist's prospective, any
communist countries), it is an example of a working communist system. If
certain countries would drop their trade restrictions that keep medical
equipment/transportation/modern industrial technology outside its borders,
then far fewer of its citizens would be suffering.

So If you buy a Metallica album, only you should listen to it? That means
you can't put it on at a party or when your buddies are over because they
didn't pay for it? If it wasn't for trading music, Metallica would not have
had the support in the beginning. EVERYONE first heard Metallica on a copied
tape didn't they?

That's all fine and dandy, but the whole Metallica controversy has left
people thinking it's all a money thing with the band. It's not!! It's
about privacy. Everyone seems to have this disposition about making money
anyway. What's so wrong with four guys getting together, doing what they do
best and making a shit load of money to boot? I'm sure every single person
on this newsgroup who complains about how capitalism and corporate america
and how the power of the almighty dollar is ruining our livelihoods would
die for the chance to be in the same shoes that Metallica are wearing right
now - just a point I thought I'd try to get across, but now for the real
issue - that issue is privacy and property rights....

Metallica has every right to protect what's rightfully theirs. A good
example of what their situation is would be you have a CD collection, it
sits right in your living room, and suddenly Joe Schmoe and a bunch of
strangers you never met before decide their just going to waltz into your
house and take a bunch of CD's without your permission. You're not going to
like that too much now are you?? No, you're not!! The rock band Metallica
has given NO ONE ANY PERMISSION to distribute their music for free, yet it's
being distributed via Napster. This is why Lars has said, "Hey! If they
want to hear our music, go down to the record store and buy it - this is how
we make our music available to the public!! Our music isn't made to be
distributed for free."

Now, take that same scenario with the CD's and take them out of your living
room and sit them all outside of your house with a sign on it that says
"FREE CD's - Take One" then that's where you give the public permission to
take what use to be your private property and use it for their own needs
(aka, the public domain). When a band puts a copyright on their material,
that's signifying that there are certain rights that the owner (in this
case, Metallica) reserves in order to make this material available to the
public. It's somewhat of a contract with the public and if the public
decides they're going to infringe on their rights then the owner of the
copyright has the sole authority to take whatever action he/she sees fit.

And thus concludeth my legal lesson for the day...

Actually, the first songs I heard from Metallica were on the radio on a
local metal show when metal was good.

Metallica also SANCTIONED the copying & distribution of "No Life Til
Leather." They had no knowledge, nor given any permission, to
distribute their studio recordings by way of Napster, Gnutella, etc.
They never had, nor do they have, a problem with bootleg concert
tapes.CDs.

Yeah...well, it's not FAIR for Metallica to support things like the Hard
Rock Rockfest, that is blatantly an attempt to covet the real
Rockfest....it's very, very clear, Metallica are all about the $$$...if
they were decent and so "tough" as you're making them out to be, they'd
pull out of the greed-fest and support the Underground...we were there
for them when they weren't shit, now they want to fuck us....Metallica
have no balls left....it shows more spirit to deny the music mafia than
to lie in bed with them, especially when the band has been making a
point about how it's not cool to steal things from people, and treat
bands and people unfairly....what hypocrites!

This is a call-out...Metallica, you redeem yourselves...tell us how cool
you're gonna be at "Rockfest" when you're ripping someone else's
copyrights and ideas?

Infringement....shit!

No. Not at all. It's a fact of life. Most people who believe that something
should be free are only saying that because they feel they're missing out on
something that they wish could be a part of their life, whereas they've
misunderstood the whole process of earning your keep.

Rights aren't even free my friend. Rights are something that has been
fought for each and every time and there has been a hell of a lot of lives
lost in those fights. What gets me are the people that have no appreciation
for those people who risked their own lives so that we can live in a nation
where we have rights and we have freedoms that no other country has. It
really gets me when people will say "HEY! THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY - I SHOULD
BE ABLE TO SAY WHAT I WANT, OR DO WHATEVER I WANT TO!" That's bullshit!!
Being free requires responsibility, as well as having rights requires
responsibility. If you can't accept that, then you're only going to get in
trouble in the long run.

I actually think the lawsuit is a hoax designed to give napster more publicity.

It's allowed. Lots of free music out there.
(Grab some from the link below if you like.)

Funny thing, though, free music doesn't stop people from buying
Metallica CDs any more than TV, cable, and radio have killed
off video and CD sales.

Hmyeah, i know this is off-toppic,
but shouldn't cuba ("as a working communist system") be able to provide
themself "the collective" with a these goods? Besides, the trade restriction
have not been put up because Cuba is a communistic country!!
