      Every single artist did it to Napster, Metallica were just the front men. Tbf Napster wasnt going to survive legally, and if it had remained popular they would have gone to shit with some sort of payment system

        Not even in the slightest. Metallica went far above and beyond everyone else hunting down little old ladies to sue.

        99% of bands didn’t make money from album sales, which is what makes all the hand wrangling over Spotify funny. Musicians idolise a world that never really existed.

      And why shouldn’t the artist have a say in how their music is used?

        I’m not arguing that. They should. I know if I had music being used by trump to support his campaign I’d have some personal opposition to it. Lars is a special kind of asshole that I lost all respect for years ago so maybe I’m overly critical of him.

        All that said, the military using a song in a training video is such a stupid thing to get worked up over. It’s basically bitching about a fair use case, because it’s not any kind of external promotion of the military. Just an internal video. Which is really an on brand example for Lars’ special kind of cuntiness.
