I've never really forgiven them for the anti-Napster bullshit. Their music at the time had become the most boring, safe radio rock too.

The whole thing was just bizarre in retrospect: who's going to be the first to raise a stink about Napster? Maybe one of the mainstream pop artists like Britney Spears or the Backstreet Boys? Nope, it's fucking Metallica, who built their careers around being anti-establishment, and were also rich enough that they didn't need any more money. Incredibly funny that they'd willingly destroy their credibility.
