They fully realize the toes they could step on would easily moosh them, they've actually consulted with lawyers before they've done anything (other than the first CD).

Good news though; apparently Lars himself stepped in to help out the little guys, and now it looks like Sony will probably be dropping the case. Full story: http://www.boingboing.net/2005/03/15..._beatalli.html

Its parody and nothing more. You would think they would spend more time trying actually sign some good musicians instead of attacking them 
Sony, get a grip!  |

I saw something about this on CNN HN a few nights ago. I was half asleep, so don't remember any specifics, but it basically said what the above article stated.

not only is it april fool's nite, it's the 1 year anniversary of our website being upgraded and the Gray Album being released. at least we have a home page on the site address that is up as of this time. we'll have more details soon on the issues at hand. we do think things are coming along, though not completely solved as of yet. once they are, we hope to have the site back up in full with tunes, lyrics, news, pics, merch, etc... | I'm really anxious to hear what's going on- For those of you around here, Beatallica this Friday Nite! That means you, Vegaas!

|  | Fingers, pick, and a little bit of slap | | Join Date: Dec 2001 Location: Terrapin country (Crofton, MD) | | | Interesting. Since when does Lars care about the little guy? Reminds me of the South Park rerun shown last night:
Detective: This is the home of Lars Ulrich, the drummer for Metallica. [they approach a bush] Look. There's Lars now, sitting by his pool. [he's seen sitting on the edge of a chaise longue, his face in his hands, softly sobbing]
Kyle: What's the matter with him?
Detective: This month he was hoping to have a gold-plated shark tank bar installed right next to the pool, but thanks to people downloading his music for free, he must now wait a few months before he can afford it. [a close-up of Lars sobbing] |

| I'm guessing you didn't listen to the NPR radio show... Big difference between distributing ripped MP3s and distributing your own creative output parodys.  |

They were pretty wild though, taking on the worlds two biggest* bands like that.
