Metallica? Linkin Park?

To number 10. Clearly you haven’t actually bother to research anything and have based all your information off that one stupid episode of south park.

Metallica didn’t get pissed off at Napster because people were downloading some of their old albums. They got angry because a demo of one of their songs “I Disappear” was being circulated on Napster and had been played on numerous radio stations months before it was supposed to released. Plus, pretty much all of their unreleased songs had also been circulated on Napster. They hired a company to find out how many of their songs were being downloaded. There we’re 250,000 people downloading over 3 million Metallica songs over the space of three days. That’s in the US alone and at a time when Napster wasn’t at its peak.

Metallica sued over the songs they had intellectual rights to, not ones owned by their record companies. They weren’t the only band that sued. As the band said, “We’re not pro record company, we’re pro Metallica”
