    ...And to think, the Wining and complaining by metallica only fueled the fire. İt created a large craze that now is one of the largest industries in the world...Stealing music.

      To little, to late. BB is doomed. They've hit critical mass. There aren't enough buyers left they haven't screwed to keep the company afloat. Look for it to be "sold" with a name change. Tho nothing will ever change and they'll continue to screw over customers under a different banner. You can't do a good deal with bad people.
