Glad someone mentioned their anti-piracy and, in turn, anti-consumer practices. Metallica makes great music, but fights like hell for their music rights and money suing pirates and platforms. I prefered Iron Maiden’s approach. Instead of suing pirates, there was a time when they set up live concerts in areas where their music was pirated to make money on the live performance. Different ways of interacting with an audience I guess.
Surprised they didn’t sue her playing a Metallica song without giving 80% royalties

Indie game developers putting activation keys in comments on pirate sites are a different breed.
