...anti-Napster chorus. In a full-page ad that ran in newspapers nationwide, more than 60 musical groups urged that "when our music is available online our rights should be respected." Metallica and rapster Dr. Dre have filed their own lawsuits against Napster. It's not unanimous, though: Limp Bizkit, for one, is pro-Napster--and Napster is sponsoring the group's current tour...

Record companies and artists are worried lest websites let consumers download pirated music for free. But while the big music labels have reacted with lawsuits--including one that last week determined music site mp3.com had violated copyright laws--one band is taking a different path.
