Metallica Sueing Napster

85
Damien Hawkes let us know that Inter Sandman, the online Metallica Club has posted news that Metallica is sueing Napster as well as the University of Southern California, Yale University and Indiana University for illegal distribution of their intellectual property.

Further the suit states that, "Napster has devised and distributed software whose sole purpose is to permit Napster to profit by abetting and encouraging the pirating of the creative efforts of the world's most admired and successful musical artists. Facilitating that effort are the hypocritical universities and colleges who could easily block this insidious and on going thievery scheme. The last link in the chain are the end users of the stolen musical works, students of these universities and others who exhibit the moral fiber of common looters loading up shopping carts because "everybody else is doing it."

Seems its lawsuit after lawsuit now, and even bands themselves are starting to sue (first it was just general music organizations such as the RIAA).
