The RIAA Hit List - A Pattern Emerges?
Desus writes "Slyck News seems to have found a pattern in just what files the RIAA is searching on to find offenders. It seems the RIAA is targeting a wide reach of music, including Hip Hop, R&B, Rap, Rock, Pop and Country songs. Artists such as Ludacris, Michael Jackson, NAS, Busta Rhymes, Keith Sweat and Musiq were very common throughout the subpoenas. They've even created a helpful chart showing exactly what artists and songs seem to get one flagged." Update: 07/31 13:12 GMT by H : Here's another source for the chart.
No mares on the list! Mares are RIAA safe!
I've seen this pattern before. I've said something that offended the Slashdot gods (probably this) and the Great Hunt has begun. Everything I have posted over the past few days is being systematically down-modded on sight. The routine now calls for me to either go into exile or be down-modded into ignomy. Fine. Whatever.
The last time this happened, I apologized publicly, and went into exile for several months. In what was certainly one of the worst decisions of my life, I did return, and have been a poster in good standing for some time. Although not evident in my last 24 posts, some have valued my participation in the discussions, reflected by both moderation and replies. I mod and M2. I have a large friends list. I have been exemplary of the slashdot community.
No more. I am throwing in the towel. Sllort was right. Slashdot is a farce and a game, and I don't have time for it anymore. Fuck all of you.
Sllort, I'm a "sword saint", and I'm joining you. I will create a keypair for this account and post AC signed with my key, as per your excellent example. This will be the last post I make under this account by name.
the clash was the only good band on there. and they are socialists.
Heh :) Actually, I need to put my belt on the tightest notch to hold my 32" pants up. And its definitely uncomfortable for the dangly bits - I know, I just tried (another use for AOL CDs!). Then again, XXL underpants might work...
