Cameo in the Italian Job

That's strange that he played himself in the movie. I didn't know that but I remember very well that the pseudo-hacker accused him of having stolen the name "Napster". I actually understood this as a kick in his ass from Hollywood because it puts him a bad light as if he was a accustomed to stealing. Napster never stole anything, neither music nor the idea to distribute music this way - an idea the industry never had. --82.141.60.93 04:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You totally missed the joke. -66.226.105.98 22:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

silly earthling

Saying Napster never stole anything is a joke itself and totally contrary to the court opinion. Shawn fanning is a thief and got what he deserved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.114.36.136 (talk) 10:26, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't the Seth Green reference to Shawn Fanning from Ocean's 11, not the Italian Job? Mllefantine (talk) 00:12, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
