I suppose it’s also worth mentioning the old irony that Metallica—prominent in the campaign to take down Napster—themselves gained a substantial portion of their early audience from the [mix]tape trading community. What a shame they lost sight of that.
- wintermutestwin 5y agoThanks for reminding us all of that irony. I was one of those tape traders and I will forever regret being even a tiny bit responsible for Lars' fame.
- eyelidlessness 5y agoOn a 1-10 scale of crappy actions by artists I used to respect, it’s about a 3 for me (+/- 1 given how I feel at the moment). If anything it makes me want to download their stuff even though I haven’t had any interest in their last several releases. Just out of idle lazy spite.
