They got the names by logging on themselves and taking note of who else logged
on and D/L Metallica tracks.  (I don't use Napster myself, so don't ask me the
details.)

As for suing Napster - why not?  They knowingly allow this to happen, and they
blatantly have this "Wotcha gonna do about it?" attitude.  Well, if a SysOp had
the blatant policy of letting his BBS be used to pass kiddiPr0n around, he'd be
axed and good riddance.  Why not napster?  Because they are richer?
