`CRAPSTER' -- FART ARTIST TO SUE NAPSTER

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- The members of Metallica aren't the only recording artists suing Napster -- the producer of a CD featuring musical fart sounds is also raising a stink. Richard Halpern, producer of a CD called "Pull My Finger," is considering suing Napster for placing his copyrighted fart sounds over the internet. Halpern estimates he's lost nearly $100,000 in sales because of freeloaders who are downloading his farting version of "Yankee Doody Dandy." He admits that may not be much moolah for rich rock stars like Metallica but, in his words, "That's a big cut out of my pocket."
