As for the whole Metallica/Napster thing, almost nobody reads all the press of Lars stating that the band doesn't care about the downloading, and that it was the principal of the matter that bothered them. I mean, for gods sake, a song they were still working on in the studio hit the radio (this happens all the time now, but back then it was historic). As a musician, I can see why they might be pist. Only the negative stuff makes the presses... As a fan, I read everything, and take it all in and decide. I don't just take a few soundbites and make a rash decision...
On top of that, I am not prepared to let a file format (mp3) or digital rights dictate which bands I like or dislike. I love music, it is my religion, so I am not prepared to part with any of it over something as silly as an artists opinion on music piracy :huh:
I am not really a painter, and I don't want to spend tons of time cutting out pieces, bondo-ing, etc. I just wanted to paint it a little and put a jewel in. That's enough for my taste. I am not into anything gaudy or over the top... As it stands, I got about 12 hours into it, and that is about the threshold when I start to lose interest in doing any more :lol: <
