no, it's just a publicity stunt on metallica's part, and an attempt by
napster to appease metallica. napster said it would block the people that
metallica could prove were offering metallica tracks. that's all.

no, they don't. i'm not sure what their revenue stream is, probably
advertising. but in any case like i said in my last email, they're doing
this for money, not out of a kind impulse to help people "share".
