It is stealing to use Napster and burn CD's, no different than walking into a store and stealing them off the rack.
Fine if an artist WANTS his/her stuff on the internet, they should be allowed to put them on there. But what about those who don't want their songs going out for free. They have rights to their works and should be allowed to decide whether or not they go out for free.
This isn't facism; this is protecting artists' rights. You can't expect to enjoy their music for free after all their hard work to produce the music.
I admit that right now its the big record labels bringing the lawsuits because they'll lose profits. They're not doing it to protect the artists but themselves. Nevertheless, the result is the artist's will be protected. Some will chose to distribute their music over the internet which is of course fine but others, like Metallica, will not want to and shouldn't have to.
