El poder de mentir en internet

When news of Metallica's latest lawsuit hit the web, music fans across the globe were outraged. Already notorious for their legal action against file-sharing network Napster, the rock band were seemingly trying to stop musicians from using the guitar chords E and F.
Announcing the band's decision to sue the obscure Canadian outfit Unfaith, the drummer Lars Ulrich said: "We're not saying we own those two chords, individually - that would be ridiculous. We're just saying that in that specific order, people have grown to associate E, F with our music."


Pero todo habia sido fabricado. La pagina de mtv news habia sido copiada, y con contenido casi real puesta como el origen de la nota. Despues de Napster, Metallica no tiene muy buena relaciòn con la era digital y pues todo el mundo cayò aunque fuera por un par de horas.
