Napster Should Apologize To Lars

from the this-isn't-the-elementary-school-playground dept

The chief of the RIAA sent a letter to the CEO of Napster requesting they issue a personal apology to Lars Ulrich of Metallica. Look, that is one of the most absurd requests I have ever heard. Is Ulrich 5 years old and crying in the corner because some other kid took his toys? That's exactly what it sounds like. It wouldn't surprise me if Napster caved in and did this to try and calm things down, but even if they do, it has absolutely no meaning at all, IMO.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

    Apology for Lars

    The chief of the RIAA has had a really great idea. In case napster does not issue an appology, you can foreward this one:

    Sorry Lars... I used napster to download your music... now I know it wasn't right. Can you forgive me? Thanks! I promise not to do it again, he he
