Metallica?  Metallica sues IU for use of Napster. I repeat, Metallica?

"Metallica's lawyer, Howard King, said it could be possible to seek out individuals who have downloaded their MP3 files onto their personal computers. Students who have downloaded Metallica songs could possibly be at risk of being contacted during this case and having their MP3s confiscated."

Wow. Can IU really search all our computers looking for Metallica .mp3s? All they'd find from Napster on my hard drive are Judy Collins and Disney songs.
