Metallica wont sue its fans

16 May 2000 18:38 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

Metallica has received 17,000 names from Napster so far -- those names are users who have complained that their accounts have been deleted without a reason. Napster says that at least 13,000 more will be added to that list within days.

Based on Digital Millennium Copyright Act Metallica has to sue those people within 10 days or they can get their accounts back. Metallica's lawyer, mr. King says that "its economically ridiculous" to even consider to sue 30,000 people.
