885 MMMM Top 100: Metallica vs Napster

When Metallica sued the file-sharing service Napster in 2000, I knew the days of worry-free downloading were numbered. I myself never shared on Napster, of course (wink wink), but I had many friends who did. At one point, I joined Kazaa, but didn't get too far in searching for what I wanted. Then I noticed that adware & spyware was being installed on my computer, so I deleted the program. These days, I only download mp3s from legitimate or record company sites. But the larger question, about how the law treats intellectual property, has yet to be answered.
