: There is a lot of discussion on the web about the Metallica/Napster lawsuit. What are your opinions on this whole business? Did Metallica "sell out" when they initiated this lawsuit, or are they just protecting their rights to control their own music?

Ha, if metalica wanted to control their own music, they wouldn't be dealing with a record company.
As far as I see it, the only poachers out there are the record companies who screw the artist dry while they sit pretty.

Now that metallica are big, the record company still has their balls in a vice, making them do shit that they wouldn't have done 10 years ago.
So, have metallica sold out. Yes, when they signed with a major record company. But which band doesn't?

However, sueing your fans isn't the way to go about protecting your works.
