Metallica hired a net consultancy to grab the IP addresses of Napster users
trading Metallica songs. They got a third of a million in a weekend.
Metallica's lawyers are using this fact in their lawsuit agains Napster (the
article doesn't say whether the IP addresses will be used as evidence).
These bands should just get themselves some venture capital.
Lastminute.com's backers seem happy to lose �11m in 12 weeks on the strength
of future brand recognition... imagine the brand recognition of being the
most pirated bands on the internet? (Dunno about Metallica but there is a
lot of Dr Dre stuff hosted - he's another one suing Napster)

The same site apparently had a Wall of Shame of Gnutella users searching for
dodgy stuff but when I went there I got a 'permission denied' failure.
