Memes. For metal music.

Metallica is the reason that P2P file sharing is almost impossible post-Web 2.0. There's an argument to be made that someone else would've taken Napster to court if Metallica didn't, but they did, and the internet has been shit ever since. Fuck them and their friends who think their garbage variety of radio-friendly variety of Beer Metal is anything worth listening to

P2p is impossible? Wonder where all the music got into BitTorrent then.

Right? The person you replied to seems maybe unaware that P2P filesharing is doing better than ever

It was bad for like, a few months when Napster shut down. Then BOOM! Morpheus, Kazaa, Limewire, BearShare, Soulseek, Usenet, then the magical world of torrents! (RIP what.cd)
