Metallica may not be suing every person who has sent "counter notifications" contesting their blockage on Napster, but the band refuses to go away quietly. On Thursday of this week, Metallica lawyers sent Napster Inc. another batch of names that illegally are infringing on the groups copyrights. Metallica sent the 332,293 names, monitored over a one-week period, to Napster with no hyped media conference or press release.

A spokeswoman for Metallica's management company, Gayle Fine, has reported that Napster hasn't yet acted upon the new list of names. When asked if all the time, work, and effort put into the case has been effective, Ms. Fine said that since only 30,000 of the original 300,000+ people contested their banning on Napster, that they consider their percentile of 90% to be a success.
