ITP V.013 METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 10: DOWNLOADED NAPSTER: THE MUSIC: THE BATTLE: THE REVOLUTION

We're back with METAL AT THE MOVIES PART 10: DOWNLOADED NAPSTER: THE MUSIC: THE BATTLE: THE REVOLUTION directed by ALEX WINTER.

So, we must all admit it, who WASN'T on NAPSTER as some bands and labels even leaked releases to file sharing sites.
The METALLICA VS. NAPSTER case entered the public eye on Capitol Hill within the same time span of
music consumers vs. RIAA regarding price fixing of CD's as music was overpriced at over $20.00 per disc.

Check out this documentary DOWNLOADED NAPSTER: THE MUSIC: THE BATTLE: THE REVOLUTION as the film will be available 7/1/2013 via I TUNES and on VOD.
NAPSTER, still exists, this time sanctioned by the music industry by paid subscription as NAPSTER recently consolidated with RHAPSODY.

BTW, since late last decade METALLICA drummer LARS ULRICH has gone on record in the METAL documentary "GLOBAL METAL" (SAM DUNN-2005) with a more supportive, neutral attitude towards music downloading regarding issues in the nations with no metal (music) distribution and anti metal, pro religious politics:
"I think it's a great thing, obviously it's the way to share the stuff, its awesome. I think we were somewhat flabbergasted at some early internet things that were going on a few years ago, but we're at peace with that and we champion it like everybody else. What the internet has done (a great thing) by making everything available and global, it's awesome. At this point, if kids can get their hands on the music it's a great thing."-LARS ULRICH-METALLICA

METALLICA, as many more 80's and 90's extreme metal bands, first became known via trape trading.

ITP V.013 EDITORS NOTE:  Nice honorable mention via ROGER MCGUINN (THE BIRDS) on corruption in the music industry and as all unsigned bands ITP's author has booked started out on MP3.com.
