Mission: Metallica is the band's newest artistic project. It includes DRM-free downloads and free access to unreleased material.

But fans and unfans do not forget so quickly. It was Metallica after all, that squashed Napster and got all this DRM nonsense started back in the day, the day being less than 10 years ago.
