That's not true. At least, it's not necessarily true.
Pick my case, for example: I have *all* the original Metallica CDs, but I
was banned by Napster (under Metallica's request) because I downloaded a
couple of rare Metallica live recordings (not official... they're bootlegs
excerpts).
I fully recognize myself in that cartoon... ;-)
