Hmmm... apparently the proposed solution to avoid Metallica's ban doesn't seem to work. I think that they put a file on your machine somewhere that they can identify and hence label you as "banned". The IP/Username theory doesn't seem to be the answer. A change or IP and username seems to have no effect on the ban. I'm at a loss to explain how they have done this, but bottom line is THIS SUCKS! I'm sure someone somewhere is going to come up with a hack for this pretty soon. And Metallica still doesn't know absolutely anything about iMesh...
