One day you won't be able to send me all this content though, and everybody will somehow lose.

Say what you will about the way the band dealt with Napster (they could've used some media help ;)), but the the reasoning behind fighting a service like that still stands today.

It's no different than you guys fighting for whatever you put the copyright label on. Metallica just handled things a little differently and came off as very greedy bastards.
I think that the music industry is responsible for this whole fiasco, when they rush out a cd with a hit single and 16 tracks of shit that they sell for $18 what do they expect. people arent stupid, they will find a way to have the songs they like even if the cd's arent worth buying i remember the days when i would call and request a song on the radio and then tape it. I agree with the metallica lookin like greedy bastards though.
