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)
Yarr, matey!
The high seas have never been more welcoming, me hearty!
Ye just need to navigate by the starrs!
we've been secretly paying for it the whole time!
This is the weirdest reasoning I've heard for the internet being sterile
The internet entered its sandman era post Metallica lawsuit
laughs in still using soulseek in 2024
I mean... Soulseek is still going strong.
Fuck Metallica for this, but their music lyrics are shit too. Megadeth is a million times better.
Megadeth is a wonderful band, and even their best albums have some downright terrible lyrics.
I mean, Psychotron is an excellent song, but there's no defending the lyrics.
