  I always find it amusing that this happens when fans get pissed off. “I’m going to destroy all my Metallica stuff because they went after Napster!” These people don’t realize that Metallica already has your money for that item and destroying it in protest only hurts you, whom no longer has that item. They still have your money though.

    No, James Hetfield (vocals of Metallica) don’t have the money from Napster era, ’cause they already spent in beer.

  You should sell your items. It could result in a lost sale for Metallica. The person who buys from you will likely buy less from them.

    Or it could result in a number of new sales for Metallica down the road, from a new fan. That’s why Napster was supposed to be good for musicians, remember?
