Basically, Metallica (mostly Lars Ulrich) didn't like the idea that someone could pay a one time subscription fee, and then have unlimited downloads for any song they wanted, because then the bands wouldn't make money off of it. So, Lars led the lawsuit against Napster, and it ended with Metallica and Napster making an out-of-court undisclosed settlement.
