Digital Music's 2001 Winners and Losers

An Anonymous Coward writes: "MP3 Newswire is running two articles that contain their top 8 MP3 winners for 2001 as well as those who top the loser category. So who is this year's #1 winner? The legal industry for all the billable hours they got to roll up thanks to RIAA and MPAA lawsuits. It's a pretty interesting read and the two articles solicit reader opinions on other potential contenders. I can think of Dmitri Sklyarov right off the bat, but I admit I'm not sure if he won for getting the charges dropped or lost for getting arrested in the first place. Rolling Stone has also run their own digital music winners and losers list for 2001."

  2. Pretty harsh on Hillary Rosen... by SlashChick · · Score: 2, Troll

    From the article:
    "Fair or not, RIAA president Hillary Rosen and Osama Bin Laden are interchangeable in the eyes of many Net savvy consumers."

    Since when did Hillary Rosen kill 5,000 people? Or is she just a mass murderer in her spare time? She's definitely not a saint, and she definitely has greedy corporate interests in mind instead of consumers and artists, but she's nowhere near the scale of evil that Osama Bin Laden is!

    Please don't compare someone who has killed members of his own species to someone who is trying to run a profitable business (no matter what you think of that business.)

      Offcourse you can't compare an massmurderer and a business person. But what is true: Some people suck and others don't.

    The same reason people use Windows/MS Office .. they are the standard. There are people like you who use other products of course. However, many users will always want to use products with the highest market shares. Especially when they produce items that will be shared with others (higher market share means more people to trade with).

    Listen up, Johnny Fucktart:
    • My penis is not "withered", as you put it. It is quite manly and more than adequate for the tasks in hand.
    • If I wanted to stick my penis in your girlfriend's ass, believe me - I would have done it by now. But I do not believe I will ever be that desperate for anal penetration.

    Hey, dipshit, I don't think you quite understand what I'm saying here. And you seem awfully confused about the sizes of our respective penises. Please remember this:
    • Yours is the ugly, skinny excuse for a human male reproductive organ. It is of course doubtful whether the label "reproductive organ" can actually apply to such an inadequate object, but that is irrelevant - we have to describe it as something.
    • Mine , however, is the sort of penis your girlfriend, sister, mother and grandma would crave to have rubbing inside them. Large, well-shaped, finely-controlled with a nice polished shine would be a very brief description of it's wonderful properties. It is a shame that I have to occasionally tarnish it's great prowess by reaming the crusty shits from your behind.
    And please do stop your ridiculous claims - you really are embarassing yourself!

    Pardon? I think you mistake the acts of my penis for those of someone else's! As far as I know, the only person who would dare plug an ostrich ass with his stumpy knob is egg troll. And from the amount of times his feisty little cock has slammed you between the eyes, I'm sure you can tell us all if such an activity leaves it appearing well polished!

    Well, well - this is better than monkeys on typewriters!

    As egg troll - blindfold, legs broken, penis in shreds and mucus oozing from every orifice - bent over WIPO's keyboard his jittering hands managed to slap this little message out as WIPO ungracefully poked poor egg's remaining anal tear with his excuse for a phallus!

    I guess such fantasies as this are required just for him to "pre-cum" in the presence of WIPO, but really, egg, you didn't have to share them with the rest of Slashdot.

    Oh, I certainly do deny it. It sounds to me like you're having the same sort of hallucination as last time you accused me of such misdeeds.

    And of course, in the end it turned out that it was just the fetid stench of the fungus growing in your lice-infested anal cavity that had addled your mind enough to show you such things.

    Do you not remember?
