From Rage Against the Machine's website:

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. 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. ...

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.

Tom Morello
