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.

    Given the songs they're scanning for, then I'm all for their current methodology. The fewer people that listen to that garbage, the better.

    Thanks.

    Doesn't look like I have, or want, a single track in that list. But I already knew that P2P doesn't typically have songs I'm actually interested in.

    you obviously aren't a bowler.

    Ya know, when I first lifted the sig out of Futurama I made a single typo, and then I got flamed for it. So I got to thinking "damn is it ever easy to piss people off on slashdot, all I have to do is mix and match some programing languages and suddenly everyone thinks their the first one to notice my supposed mistake."

    You see, I am laughing at you, not with you.
    Thanks for the laugh.

    On Wall Street they say "buy low, sell high" On the pad we say, "buy high, sell high" Isn't that somehow better?
