As I said, it was as if they turned their backs on all those who were there from day one.

Those people, including myself, still paid money for their albums because we loved their music and support them... but even if someone paid for for their album AND downloaded so much as a single Metallica track.... they'd find Metallica's attorney's at their door with lawsuit in hand.
True, but as much as it pissed me off then I can still understand why they did it. They were trying to protect their work, and at that time Napster was setting a dangerous precedent. How many people that used Napster were only downloading one song? I'm not saying I don't do it...shit, I download free music on a regular basis. But can I blame anyone but myself if a lawsuit shows up on my door one day? Just because I supported them in the past doesn't give me the right to steal from them today...
