How does FYE stay in business anyway charging $19 per album? Tower charged less than that and they went away.

I usually get CDs for less than $15, there is a used store here, and online you can get records cheaper, even after you add shipping.
I think I remember hearing that at least some members of Metallica were into the tape sharing scene when they were younger, anyone remember hearing the same? Sound quality suffered when you would make copies of copies of copies, but still...

Metallica owe most, if not all, of their success to bootlegs of their performances. It's how they got on their feet.

--- Quote ---"Listen, we're ten days from release,” Ulrich said on The Woody Show on San Francisco radio station Live 105. “I mean, from here, we're golden. If this thing leaks all over the world today or tomorrow, happy days. Happy days. Trust me. Ten days out and it hasn't quote-unquote fallen off the truck yet? Everybody's happy. It's 2008 and it's part of how it is these days, so it's fine. We're happy."

Edit: To elaborate, this falls in line with the seemingly little reported fact that Metallica's main complaint in the media back in the day was less with file sharing and more with the fact that somebody jacked an unfinished version of one of their songs (Which turned out terrible anyway, to be fair) and spread it around on the internet. They claimed that back in 2000 and they've been repeating it routinely ever since in statements that have fallen on deaf ears.
As for the "now they've really sold out" remarks. I don't get it. This album is probably the closest to their old sound as they're going to get. In one breath people will say "they're crap, they've sold out, fuck Metallica" because they changed their sound, but when they make their way back toward their old sound "they're crap, they've sold out, fuck Metallica" because they're retreading old ground?
Personally, I dig the album. It's not their best effort, I'd still peg that as Master of Puppets, but I'd call it an overall solid album and I cannot comprehend how anyone can be of the mind that the drum sound is anywhere near as bad as on St. Anger.
