"As an artist, and as I learn more about technology and computers, I definitely think there's a way we can all reach a happy medium and all move forward together," Stapp said. "I just wish organizations like Napster and those other groups would actually start coming to the artists and saying, 'Hey, let's work together,' 'cause this is the wave of the future.
"I can definitely understand Lars from Metallica, [who] has vented quite a bit about his music being art, and these people are stealing [the band's] art. And I've heard some responses that say, 'Hey, Metallica has been a commodity for years.'
"But that's irrelevant," he continued. "Who gives a sh** whether it's art or whether it's a commodity. It's still stealing when you're not paying for something, just like if it was a grocery store, just like if it was money laundered from bank accounts. But we're trying to stay protective about it.
