What was the fallout from Metallica and Napster? Did it actually change anything? Or just spawn different sides of the same coin? (lemmy.world)

I get their music from Soulseek now, rather than Napster.

Definitely don’t respect Metallica anymore.

It’s kinda funny that Napster promoted sales where things like Spotify hinder them.

Yup. I’ll never respect or care about Metallica ever again. Fuck them.
