Take me back to January 2, 2000. Society was full of optimism over the new millennium, and at that point we knew the computers weren't going to fail and bring down civilization. And Napster hadn't been sued by Metallica yet.
The Napster debacle was another case of media dishonesty. It was portrayed as a bunch of out-of-touch millionaire rock stars trying to destroy a small tech startup. In reality, Napster was a multi-million dollar corporation with its own legal department. And the reason Metallica was pissed was because a song they hadn't finished recording and mixing yet had been leaked to the net. It was an unfinished product.
