WJW is one of my favorites. This adds to it.

Watch Global Metal if you can find it (Netflix had it but I don't know if they still do). One of the interviews is with Lars Ulrich of Metallica, poster child for "Napster is Bad". In it he somewhat sheepishly admits that his band overreacted to Napster. He also says that anything which gets his music to fans in repressive nations is a good thing.
