Based. Sail the seven (digital and routed) seas!
Streaming services didn't exist when this court case happened. Many artists were already suing Napster, but weren't famous enough to get publicity. Someone released an unfinished edit of "I disappear" which is what triggered Metallica to get involved. Dr Dre also jumped into the suit but I've never heard anyone talk about boycotting his music or the music he produced.
They forgot about Dre?
