Going back to the year 2000, Metallica sued Napster for copyright infringement, due to their song, “I Disappear”, being leaked onto the service before the “Mission Impossible III”, soundtrack release. They found the song in the Napster peer-to-peer file sharing network, and they sued the company for copyright infringement.
Now that Sean Parker, owns Spotify, Metallica finally decided to play it cool and have a change of heart with online streaming services. Now you can stream, all Metallica albums in Spotify.
Read the band’s announcement, here.
While Metallica is the most hated band in America, they do have “good” in them. Now that they dropped Warner Music, and have their own label, they’re already on the move to their new adventure as you can see. With your own label, you can do what you please with your music, and that’s where these guys come from. No control by other labels. They’re on their own now.

Most hated band in America ???
Yeah, should be obvious. Wouldn’t it? The reason they became the most hated band in America, is ’cause of the Napster controversy. Not only that, they lost a lot of respect ’cause of their change of sound over the years. Like the “Load/Re-load/St. Anger” era, for example.
