Metallica physical release only available online

The new Metallica DVD, an actual shiny plastic disc that you can actually hold in your hands, can only be sold online.

'Francais Pour Une Nuit' is the first live Metallica release in 10 years yet record stores are forbidden from selling it.

A notice to retailers today stipulated "Having been a great success domestically in France, we have now secured the rights to sell this release internationally *_via e-retailers only. _*This is a strict condition of the deal that has been done between UMGI and Metallica".

Metallica has previously sued fans for downloading their music because they wanted you to be honest and buy their music in stores.

Now they are taking away their product from the very vehicle that supported them through their zany digital outrage.

To really rub it in the face of record stores, the stores today were advised that they had until the end of the day to order the title but if they do, then they can only sell it from their website.
