It's ok, Lars said it's ok to download their music, as long as you live in a third world country and buy tickets to their gigs! Apparently, services like Napster allow people who have never heard of Metallica, to hear about Metalllica, and become fans who go to gigs and buy merch! Isn't capitalism great? Lars is still a dickhead though.

HTownGuero666@reddit

For some reason, the first song I downloaded was “Don’t You Forget About Me,” the song from the end of the Breakfast Club. It’s a good song… but hardly my favorite, then or now.

I think I picked it because it was popular enough that everyone kinda knew it, but it was old, so not necessarily widely available. The fact that I could download it in an hour or whatever was a good test of what, exactly, Napster could do. It had songs wayyyy harder to find than that song from the Breakfast Club… but that shit sounded pretty good on my HP’s subwoofer!

There were rumors that the singer of Tool had a new band and were playing shows in small clubs in the LA area, some bootlegs of those shows showed up on Napster, it felt cutting edge to be hearing a band months before they even released an album.
