If you think rock stars are paid too much... YOU try creating a top-40 album.
I wish these same people would find a way to 'pirate' major-league sports. I mean, if ANYBODY makes a ridiculously high amount of money for comparatively little effort...

If you think major-league sports players put little effort into their 'job' then think again. They work just as hard as anyone I know. Even more so since their job is a huge part athletic. I couldn't play in the majors. Or even the minors. And I bet nobody on this board could even come close to as good as they are. Anyone who makes millions a year has to work for it. No matter what their job is.

To be truthful, I've purchased CD's because of the fact I downloaded some of their mp3s. Take Individual Totem for example. I heard one of their songs, and I decided to buy the CD. I've done this with Star Wars Episode I soundtrack, Moody Blues Prelude, etc.

But.. come ON, it's a friggin' GAME. And a lot of those guys get millions of dollars for seasons that would have made Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig hang up their bats.

Thing is, though, even though I may or may not disagree with Metallica's stance and tactics regarding Napster, I still think they're one of the best motherfucking bands out they're.

I know it's a game and it's all kinda silly when you think about it. But we pay for entertainment, so that's why they get the big bucks. Just like actors and music, it's all about entertainment.
