First RIAA Lawsuit to Head to Trial

mamer-retrogamer writes "Out of 14,800 lawsuits the RIAA has filed in the past two years, none have gone to court - until now. Patricia Santangelo, a divorced mother of five living in Wappingers Falls, New York, found herself the target of an RIAA lawsuit and vows to contest it. Santangelo claims that she knows nothing about downloading music online and the likely culprit is not her but a friend's child who used her computer. The RIAA disagrees."

What's Digg?

[master_meio]

Digg is a technology news website that employs non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allowing an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.

How Digg Uncovers The News

Why Slashdot Will Die

See what others are saying...

Digg is actually better. Slashdot is old and ugly. Its content is decided by editors, the layout looks like it was made in windows95's heyday and its a dinosaur. Digg on the other hand is new and "growing", they use a flashier, better looking layout, yet the site is still simpler then Slashdot. The content is decided by the submitters and you can get that content via audio and video podcasts.

I never could stand slashdot. The layout and just overall feel of that site was/is bad.

I don't like slashdot's layout. It's ugly and cluttered. The colors make me wanna puke.

Slashdot users agree that Digg.com's entries are a lot more current that the ones posted at Slashdot.

99% of slashdot users have self-diagnosed themselves as suffering from Asperger's Syndrome. Most slashdot users consider themselves "smart" when in fact they are simply of average intelligence, but have more free time and a higher sense of ego. This can be seen in the forums where spelling and usage errors are prevalent in condescending, arrogant rants, identified by containing the phrase "people are stupid" at some point in the post.

I prefer Digg for my tech news and I've found some really nice sites that way.

I prefer Digg. I used to check /. but I didn't like it as much

I like Digg better anyway, much more and more interesting news.

I cant stand Slashdot, I will only Read it when its linked from somewhere else

First Slashdot Lawsuit to Head to Trial

"Out of 14,800 X 10^9243587458943758943 lawsuits the users of Slashdot have filed in the past two years regarding duped articles, none have gone to court - until now. mamer-retrogamer, a single, sad, duper of five hundred articles living in Repeats, New jersey, found himself the target of a Slashdot lawsuit and vows to contest it. mamer-retrogamer claims that he knows nothing about posting actual news online and the culprit is not his sources but rather ignorance. The Slashdot and OTSG disagree."

Re:Not Good for the RIAA

[flyinwhitey]

Why is it that your response to a post that starts "jury nullification not withstanding" is about nothing but jury nullification?
