Yet Another Reason to Hate Metallica

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Artists have the right to make money and people shouldn't profit from their another artist's work unless they pay that artist. But guys like Lars should stfu and admit that they are greedy bastards who have made millions upon millions but don't think that's enough.

Absolutely. I really don't understand the sense of entitlement these days. How are people so dense that they do not understand they are stealing?

If you want the music - man-up and pay for it. Don't steal it and then whine when you get called out for it.

The sales off records does not only take money away from the band but takes money away from the song writers and others involved with the music. My cousin is married to a man who writes songs along with other stuff and each month he gets a list of his royalties for what he writes. Its pretty neat how he gets a penny here and a penny there each time a song he wrote is plyed on the air. We talked about this and he personaly cans say with modern technology he has seen a decline in his royalties for music he writes.

Great point, FD. People focus on the labels, but ignore the non-performers drawing their salary and livelihood from CD sales.
