Lars Ulrich heeft aan Metallica's advocaat Peter Paterno gevraagd om te bemiddelen tussen Beatallica en Sony Music.
"That debate was about who profited from Metallica's music and this one is about creative rights at the heart of rock and roll itself. I believe that cover bands, mash-ups, and the right to re-interpret art on the Internet are things worth fighting for."
Daarmee is Ulrich in de ogen van Beatallica de held van de dag. Michael Tierney, een van de leden van Beatallica, vertelt aan MTV:
"Our legal team, with the help of Lars and his lawyers, have been in contact with the Sony folks and we're in the process of making sure everything's square. (...) Metallica have been following what we've been up to for the past year and they've talked about us in a few magazine interviews and I got word three weeks ago that Lars wanted to contact us to talk. He called me at home and we had several conversations about it and he said what he'd be willing to do for moral support and also as far as being more active in the situation."
