Reminds me of when Metallica started suing their fans for downloading their music in Napster
Yeah I mean... They've only had 5 straight albums debut at number 1 since!
In all seriousness, I personally feel they were correct but the last person in the world you want as a mouthpiece is Lars
The RIAA Metallica Madonna etc bunch was a joke. Like right now, if InBev came out and blamed "maga white supremacists" for their budweiser brands decline.
Thats what RIAA did. A few years after their soulless homogenization of music really started to eat into their profits, they saw that dumb kids where sharing music online and used them as a scapegoat for their ineptitude.
Then theyd go and take life savings of families because their ten year old was fucking around on a computer and downloaded a few albums. So, $45 of provable loss turned into a $15,000 payday. Their excuse was always "We'd have made hundreds of billions of more dollars if not for these assholes. We deserve it!"
It was never true and their response was like electing Biden parent of the year.
Yeah, I never went to another Metallica show after that. In fact, I started downloading EVERYTHING I could; music, games, software, movies. All of it. It was my way of saying fuck you to the system.
