I lost alot of respect for Dr. Dre and a few other rappers that I listened to alot when all of that went down. I still listen to them though! lol

it was really funny when he would keep talking about how napster needed to "take the songs down" even when it was said over and over that there was no centralized server. metallica had a slightly better understanding of it, they were just much more douchey

the fight at that time was one of a select handful of previously-established musicians only. a large underlying battle emerged because those guys wanted to maintain their hegemony over the industry and did not want to allow access to other groups that may eventually take their market share
