Metallica made sure that argument doesn’t hold water in court back when they were suing all their fans for downloading their music on Napster. To this day I remind everyone who will listen why I refuse to listen to them ever again whenever their name comes up.

Yeah, I can’t believe Metallica recovered from that. In my mind, they’re up there with Volkswagen - their brand has a stigma attached to it.
But VW sold the second highest amount of cars in the entire world last year. Clearly a lot of people do not care.
they are greedy hateful bunch, I'm always wary of their fans flashing with Metallica t-shirts and expect them to be the same greedy hateful bunch as well
