This months douchebag could be nominated for MANY reasons, but today, I pick this one.........

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich, who angered many fans by waging a high-profile battle with Napster in 2000 over illegal music downloading, admitted in a recent interview that he has also used the Internet to obtain a full album's worth of music without paying for it. "I sat there myself and downloaded [METALLICA's latest CD] 'Death Magnetic' [illegally] from the Internet just to try it," he told Eddie Trunk of VH1 Classic's series "That Metal Show". "I was like, 'Wow, this is how it works.' I figured if there is anybody that has a right to download 'Death Magnetic' for free, it's me. I sat there one night at my house with about six of my friends and a bottle of wine. And what was it called?! [Trying to think of the name of the file-sharing client he used to download the album] We found it — this was like two or three days after ['Death Magnetic'] leaked. I was like, 'You know what? I've gotta try this.' So we sat there, and thirty minutes later, I had 'Death Magnetic' in my computer. It was kind of bizarre."

I give you March's Douchbag

Yeah what a dick! Did you read that interview with him in Game Informer magazine? He said he wanted Guitar Hero for his kids, but instead of going out and buying it he "made a phone call" and they sent him a free one. Fucking dickhole! How is that any better than downloading music fo free?

If I was him, I would be more concerned with keeping up with my drumming skills. The 'snare, snare, snare, bass' lines he plays live on most of the songs is getting old. This is coming from a big Metallica fan too. @Buzz, well he did call and ask for it, and didn't just walk into a store and take one... Just playing devil's advocate here....
