this was the best. damn metallica. ok I sort of understand why people think everyone who goes on napster is there for a free ride but I know plenty of people, myself included that used napster as a way to find out if a band was worth it or not. Not everyone can afford to buy an album that's going to sit in the closet collecting dust. The napster years was a time in my life that I bought the most albums. Why? because only a fool wants the low quality stuff you get from other users, but it is good enough just to listen to and determine if you will like it or not.I don't buy it in a second that this 3% decline *ooo* in sales was due to napster being out there.There were a lot of people out there sick and tired of the big corps making the bucks off the little guys and refusing to buy that big stuff anymore.Had nothing to do with napster.
