This day in music history.

April 13, 2000, The assholes in Metallica become the first act to file a lawsuit against Napster, the University of Southern California, Yale University, and Indiana University to halt alleged pirating of Metallica music. The suit alleges that Napster has violated three different areas of the law: copyright infringements, unlawful use of digital audio interface device, and the Racketeering Influenced & Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). The suit would be settled by July of 2001 with Napster basically being shut down. The suit also proved that the heavy metal bad boys were pretty much just big pussies.
Metal Militia by Metallica
Thunder and lightning the gods take revenge
Senseless destruction Victims of fury are cowardly now
Running for safety Stabbing the harlot to pay for her sins
Leaving the virgin Suicide running as if it were free
Ripping and tearing
On through the mist and the madness

We are trying to get the message to you
Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia
Chained and shadowed to be left behind

nine and one thousand Metal militia
for your sacrificeiron clad soldiers
Join or be conquered the law of the land
What will befall you The metallization of your inner soul
twisting and turning
On through the mist and the madness

We are trying to get the message to you
Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia
We are as one as we all are the same fighting for one cause

Leather and metal are our uniforms protecting what we are
Joining together to take on the world with our heavy metal
Spreading the message to everyone here Come let yourself go
On through the mist and the madness

We are trying to get the message to you
Metal Militia Metal Militia Metal Militia
But only if you pay the price
can you be just like us
and if you dont pay the price
we will sue your worthless ass
