Metallica's contributory copyright infringement and racketeering suit against MP3-swapping service Napster just got personal. The band delivered to Napster's offices in San Mateo, Calif., the names of 335,435 users alleged to have swapped Metallica recordings on the Internet. The 60,000 pages of documents include a request that the users be removed from Napster's system as punishment for violating the band's copyrights.

Lars Ulrich, drummer for the heavy-metal band Metallica, suggested that the U.S. Congress should step in to stop MP3-swapping services like Napster “before this whole Internet thing runs amok.”
Ulrich made the comments, along with many others, during an hour-long Web chat on ArtistDirect.com, Metallica’s first public interaction with fans since the band became the first to file suit against Napster.
