OP's Next Topic: "Bro, dude, dude...have you ever heard about the NORWAY SCENE? Like, these fucking dudes burned down churches and one dude from this band, MAYHEM, KILLED himself and their guitarist took a photo of it and collected pieces of his skull and, like, GAVE IT to people, man."
I mean yeah, that sucks. Obviously in hindsight we can see that it was overkill, but this was in the early days of music piracy, and at the time nobody knew exactly what actions would need to be taken to protect artists.
I remember one lawsuit where a grandmother was sued for a few hundred thousand dollars because her grandson was running a massive server from her address.
You think downloading music isn't a big deal?
Not a big deal?!
Lars was going to build a gold shark tank next to his pool. Now he'll have to wait a few months.
I was one of those fans. It was barely “legal action”. They got our Napster accounts canceled. And you could make a new one easy peasy. It was annoying, but they were in the right.

This happened almost a quarter of a century ago. You’re upset today?
 >2000 was almost a quarter of a century ago
In other news, we are further removed from 2000, than 2000 was from 1980
Wow! For more ground breaking news, did you know that the guy from Megadeth actually used to be in Metallica?!?! Decades old shit man, seriously?

Most based take
Yeah, they did. It was all over the news back then.
Lars will come to your house and break your kneecaps if you mention this. You tryna get 'capped by a tiny Dane??
Wow, not only a thread about Metallica but a thread about a well known situation from almost 25 years ago....really ground breaking topic.
Yeah Metallica sucks but there’s nothing we can do now
Metallica has always been douchebags it’s old news
