Metallica were just a bunch of tone deaf (speech) poster boys for the RIAA.
Napster was too big and too bold. They let themselves become synonymous with pirated music. There's no way capitalism would let that alone. If it wasn't Metallica, it would have to have been someone else.
On the upside, the Case was between Reload and St. Anger; their sales dropped by half and never recovered.
you don't have to clarify that. You really have to be a ham fisted fucking idiot to do the things compositionally that metallica does with the music they have to hand. Master of puppets should have made a recurring theme of the chromatic (ish) intro, and they throw it away, they bash away at the same shitty, caveman riff for eight fucking minutes. And Justice for all has a great intro, and it gradually degrades until basically nothing is left.
check out this song that uses a theme similar to master of puppets for a better way to use a similar musical idea https://youtu.be/FoGoEQ8DUDo?list=RDFoGoEQ8DUDo&t=18
Remind me of S3M's back in the 90's

This particular collection isn't exactly like the track, but the tracker sound feels about right for it
