Metallica and their legal counsel are on the brink of insanity as far as I'm concerned. Their most recent collective copyright and digital rights issue pertains to their fear that album sales will plummet because the song "One" appears in Guitar Hero III. Activion's counsel issued a statement saying that they paid Metallica a licensing fee for the use of the song and attributes the band's lawsuit to their recently developed "batshit insanity". I agree but I'm sure of there not being a chapter in the Copyright Law 101 handbook that cites "batshit" as a recognized type of insanity. There's no band that I hate more than them. I could see Metallica being concerned about losing album sales if they offered an entire albums worth of material but those songs wouldn't appear anyway unless they were licensed. They're not going to lose a dime for having "One" appear in a video game. All of the young cats that play that game may not be aware of all of a band's early catalog so it probably would benefit those artists in promoting their music. Bands, like Metallica, are being paid to market their music in a video game. Everyone else on the planet has to pay for advertising. I wish they'd just shut the F up!
