[edit] Cameo in the Italian Job
That's strange that he played himself in the movie. I didn't know that but I remember very well that the pseudo-hacker accused him of having stolen the name "Napster". I actually understood this as a kick in his ass from Hollywood because it puts him a bad light as if he was a accustomed to stealing. Napster never stole anything, neither music nor the idea to distribute music this way - an idea the industry never had. --82.141.60.93 04:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
