Back in the ‘Free Napster’ days Metallica was always the enraged band against downloading music… Remember Napster Bad? Remember Lars Ulrich giving a humongous list of Napster users to the federal government so they could be prosecuted?

Their ideal business model was to make their fans buy entire albums, they didn’t like the idea of people buying single songs… It was not good for business… oh… really??? Says who???

Well… they caved in.

“Over the last year or so, we have seen an ever-growing number of Metallica fans using online sites like iTunes to get their music. So…we are now offering fans the opportunity to obtain our songs individually.”

It’s good that they are doing this “because of their fans”… oh yeah, money is good too!
