Nope, entirely correct In this context.
Some will tell you different, but IMO (and others), the "Black Album" (1991) was their last good one. Load (1996) was... "meh." Their sound changed significantly and the album was considered sophomoric to some, not an album from a seasoned band like Metallica.
Then late 90's and into 2000, they, notably Hammett, went a little nuts over Napster. Vehemently and vitriolicly outspoken against downloading music. By then they had "stopped making music people wanted to download."
.
Turns out though, that Hammett is a bit of a hypocrite what it comes to music downloading. Apparently at an aftershow party when talking about a new band he was listening to, he download it to share it. A guest even pointed the hippocracy out to him, but his response was essentially, " I'm a musician, I have a free pass."
