NAPSTER BAD

Beer good!

Metallica bad.

Daily Reminder that Metallica, Dr. Dre, etc., did nothing wrong.

Napster was a 100% unsustainable business-model due to even basic copyright law, and it was literally only a matter of time before copyright-holders moved to challenge it.
Metallica, Dr. Dre, etc. were simply some of the first, and if it hadn't been them it would have been other musicians or other companies a month or two later.

why didnt they just ignore the lawsuit?

>>211718996
And thanks to their heroic actions, internet piracy is a thing of the past... Oh, wait...

This is really when WW3 started

>piracy
if I remember this shit right, the butthurt really came from some fag leaking that MI2 track before it was officially released
then again Lars Ulrich is a total fag and probably just used that as an excuse

Limp Bizkut did the MI2 song. Dunno why everyone confuses that. Anyway I signed the class action lawsuit and eventually got a check i the mail for like $2.50...i still have it somewhere, it has the Napster logo on it.

Anyway Napster got through it and started selling music, leading to the rise of likewise and Morpheous...then Apple crushed everything.

Limp Bizkit supported Napster, which is partially why they had such a falling out with Eminem.

I remember the first time I used napster. That was the happiest time of my life. It was like Christmas morning x10.

It wasn't Take A Look Around which is the Limp Bizkit one with the MI riff, it was some other song Metallica did that got leaked and one of them heard it playing on the radio before the soundtrack album was released.
Really, they should have just sued the station instead.

>>211718996
yeah they totally saved the music industry and no one illegally downloads music anymore

>>211722428
Oh yeah, you're right. I always skipped that song because it sucked. It was buried on the CD iirc.

>>211721536
Todays piracy mostly because the streaming monopoly and the increasing number of ads displayed, hell even in amazon prime video you have to pay extra to remove the ads

>>211718996
Intellectual property isn't real.
Cry about it, commie.

>Rock band Metallica and rap pioneer Dr. Dre have also waded in against Napster in recent weeks.
>But Limp Bizkit singer Fred Durst disagreed. He told a news conference that Napster was a great way for fans to sample an album before buying it.
>"I would think the only people worried about that are people that are really worried about their bank accounts,” he said.

They were literally just trying to fight technology fot their billionaire masters.

Nu-metal was for the people and it's constantly shit on because the elites couldn't stand that fact

>The song's leak on the file-sharing service Napster prompted the band to sue the service.
Stupid fucking zoom-zoom

Truly they just had no idea where the world was headed tech wise. The internet was a novelty compared to the entirety of the music industry at the time.

Dave Mustaine kills Kirk on guitar and doesn't look like a Thai ladyboy.
