Metallica, Napster Go to Washington Music & MP37/12/2000; 1:26:03 PM I've held off on posting this until I could just post a good summary, because there wasn't really much new about this. Still, it worth knowing that Senate Judiciary Committee has been holding meetings with people from both sides of the Great Digital Music debate, and they told their sides.The only truly interesting anecdote I've seen was the the committee apparently downloaded a song on Gnutella during the hearings, joining the rest of us as "copyright infringers", which is an interesting turn of events.In other news, an artists coalition has formed protesting 'piracy', kicking off a national add campaign in major newspapers. Says the Wired article, "The coalition was created to advocate artists' choice in determining how their music is presented, distributed, and marketed online." Well then, they're fighting on the wrong side... or do they not realize that the label controls presentation, distribution, and marketing? Hey, three for three?Lar's testimony (wherein he proves that he still doesn't fully understand Napster... you just can't blame them 100% and not assign blame to the users too),
