If you were one of the many people who downloaded stuff from Rage Against The Machine's new album Renegades then you may have found that you can no longer connect to Napster. Apparently this move was done without the bands permission, solely at the request of their management company Q-Prime. Click on Read More for Tom Morello's statement. Tom: "Rage Against the Machine would like to sincerely apologize to all of our fans who were kicked off of Napster for downloading Renegades. The move to take action against Rage fans was taken completely unilaterally by our new management [Q Prime]. In their zeal to keep the record from getting out before the release date, they did not consult the band before instructing Sony Music Corp. to institute the Napster ban.

As soon as I was made aware of this horrible mistake on their part, I immediately phoned our management and the record company to see what we could do to get our Napster-using fans reinstated as soon as possible. I'm told that the easiest way to get back on Napster as quickly as possible is to download one of many files floating around on the internet to get around the ban, at websites like http://www.geocities.com/lorannia/de-ban.zip or http://www.webwowser.com/cyberdevil/personal/page.asp.

Per my instructions, no further notices will be sent out, and again, I apologize for this undermining of your right to hear our music. In the future we will be more vigilant about this matter."
