: : 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?

: I think Metallica lost 300,000 paying customers when they had 300,000 of their fans barred from Napster.

: Do you think the 300,000 Metallica fans that the Band had barred from napster are every going to purchase another Metallica CD?

: These 300,000 Metallica Fans they had kicked off of Napster were some of their Highest Paying customers, having Purchased many Metallic CDs. Will they continue buying Metalllica CDs? I don't think so.

: When you can afford to get rid of 300,000 fans who purcahse your CDs, you must be very wealthy.
