In May 2000, Dre filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Napster, seeking for each illegal copy of his work. He was one of the first artists—alongside Metallica—to demand that Napster block users who were sharing his songs without permission.
2001 was his definitive answer to the skeptics. Originally intended to be titled Chronic II , the album was renamed after Suge Knight released a compilation album using that name. Dre chose 2001 to signal that he was already living in the future of music. The album proved to be an unmatched triumph, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and eventually earning a 6× Platinum certification from the RIAA.
