Certainly soured a lot of people on Metallica.

I fucking love metal, but on principle will never listen to, buy, or support Metallica in any way ever. I also pass this to younger generations. I was a poor kid without a way to listen to music outside an FM radio, but this badass "thrash metal" band wanted me to pay what I didn't have so I could listen to them.

So as a well off adult my vinyl collection grows without them.

to add to that, Metallica owes their existence to bootlegs.
