    Rofl. Imagine thinking I called out Metallica for taking down Napster alone.

    Their shit’s been used in DoD/weapons-contractor videos for decades, and the moment the MAGAts start to turn on Trump over the Epstien stuff, Metallica is suddenly anti-drone, for the first time ever.

    Next you’ll tell us NASCAR brought down the Berlin Wall.

      And they have expressed their concerns with the military using their music in a terroristic way. - Source

        That was twelve years ago, and “please don’t use our music for torture” is the bare minimum for people who want plausible deniability without actually doing anything about the fact that people are being tortured.

          I’m not sure what you expect from them. It should be enough that they don’t want to be a part of the machine and have spoken out against being a part of that, but you want more. Perfection is the enemy of good.

            They are celebrities, not political candidates. “Vote Blue No Matter Who” is disingenuous when the DNC weilds it, and not even remotely applicable to rich-ass celebrities whose entire political stance is to try to be “apolitical”.

        Don’t confuse the awesome free service that once was with the paid brand that’s still around. Still funny all the effort and good-will Metallica wasted to go after one site when plenty of alternatives existed.
