$0.99 per song is too much. CD's cost ~$15 these days, and contain ~15 songs.
First of all, the price of most albums on iTunes is capped at $9.99. (Multiple disc sets may be more expensive.) Second, most albums in pop genres that contain 15 songs do not contain 15 good songs.

You can't sell a CD-R disc on eBay unless:
it is blank, or
the seller owns a valid copyright in all works on the CD. (It may be possible to bend this rule with a "compilation".)
sounds similar to the FastTrack protocol (KaZaA/Grokster)'s "Supernodes".
Hostcaches and supernodes are completely different. In the WinMX, FastTrack, and Gnutella protocols, supernodes (which correspond to "servers") are responsible for forwarding queries and results from one leafnode to others. (Nodes on dial-up and low-end DSL and cable are typically leafnodes.) Hostcaches, also called trackers, list working supernodes.
If the client software comes preset with the address of one, then the network is not highly decentralized (in which case the RIAA has someone to go after).
Client software may come preset with the addresses of a dozen or so hostcaches, and each client program may come with a different set of addresses. And even with well-known hostcache addresses, it's still possible that the network has a substantial non-infringing use, like for trading rpms or debs of free software, and if the client program maintainer is not the hostcache maintainer.
Hostcaches are not needed in IPv4. All that is needed for introduction to the network is a random scan of the/12. The larger address space of IPv6, however, makes random discovery impractical.
Rap deejays typically work for hire, and a work made for hire is the property of the employer (17 USC 201). Thus, the rapper scratches by hiring a deejay.
Under US copyright law there's a compulsory license and a statutory rate for that. The author of the song gets paid a set price and can't turn you down.
The mechanical license applies only to reasonably exact copies, possibly with a minor change in style. It does not apply to putting the bass line under a completely different song, which is considered a "derivative work". There is no exception to the derivative work monopoly of copyright, except possibly under 17 USC 107 for parodies and other limited fair uses.
when you are taking recorded audio directly from another source
No recorded audio was taken. The lawsuit alleged infringement of a melody in the bass line, closer to Bright Tunes v. Harrisongs (the "My Sweet Lord" case) than to any sampling case.
The atmosphere around a DDR machine is something you simply can't get at home.
Perhaps not in a single-family residence, but at the school I went to, there was a weekly meeting of the DDR club, complete with region-modded PS1 systems, and that was full of atmosphere.
DDR had the first new control scheme (used in more than a couple of games) since the light gun.

I'm wondering more about how you can hire slaves
Do you claim that "hire slaves" is an oxymoron? In a bear market with high unemployment, how is somebody who lives on minimum wage anything but a slave? At least he has a job.
Try this: Lend your slave's family a large sum of money, and then pay your slave just enough to cover the interest. This may not fall under the USA ban on "involuntary servitude" because the slave's family can always exit the agreement by send its credit rating to hell.
Microsoft getting them will just kill the fun for everyone else, as you'd never see a Sega game for anything but XBox.
Because Microsoft does not make a handheld system for under $180 MSRP, Microsoft has published a few games on Nintendo's Game Boy platform, such as this one. Sega's Sonic Advance 3 can't come out on the Xboy if there's no Xboy, that is, unless Microsoft wants to re-brand the Game Park GP32 as the Xboy.
Now, this flatly contradicts what this week's Time Magazine claimed
Full disclosure: The company that publishes Time magazine (AOL Time Warner) published this film.
Who do you believe? I'll wait and see myself.
Conspiracy theory: The Time review was expressly designed to contradict other published reviews in order to prompt a response like yours: ticket sales.
Also, it is considered of higher intellectual integrity to kindly consider a piece's arguments and fill them out as you would if you were the person proposing them in opposition to your own arguments.
I agree that it's polite to fix flaws in an argument that can easily be fixed, but read on...
Knocking a work because it does not address what you are arguing is of very low class.
Then why, when I read Slashdot, do I so often come upon accusations of putting forth a "straw man" argument? Is it because Slashdot "is of very low class"?
Remember if you didn't pay anything for your mp3 ripping software your infriging on (can't remember companies name, tompson maybe?) copyright.
Close. You're thinking of patents owned by Fraunhofer Gesellschaft that are managed in the United States by Thomson Multimedia d/b/a RCA. See also MP3 Licensing.
I wonder why manufacturers aren't including OGG support in their players?
Some MP3 player manufacturers (not Apple) use a 1 MHz 8-bit microcontroller to run the display and a decoder chip that takes an MPEG audio bitstream on one pin and produces a WAV bitstream on another. Thus, the device is capable of decoding MP2 and MP3 and nothing else.
Slashdot Mirror
At least they're not speaking a constructed language that may hold the record for fewest words in a human-experience-complete language: Toki Pona has 120 words.
Maybe one day there will be an opening for a programmer who's fluent in English.
Do people still use the Pick OS?

But does the standard UNIX login sequence let a user authenticate by id instead of by name?
If anybody is able to make any mirrors (especially for the ISO image), please do so.
Try BitTorrent. If you can get a .torrent up for the ISO, the bandwidth use will go down.

The one thing I don't like is that they renamed root to gobo. While root doesn't have much inherent meaning to it, gobo has even less.
I agree with bazik's comment that finding the superuser account's name is one more obstacle to crackers.

Sorry, but Nintendo beat Konami to it: Power Pad. (This cartridge is fake.)
It seems that you could send intermittent frames, some in groups of adjacent frames.
A good idea, refined: I'd assume that printing one frame of each shot would be sufficient to identify the copyrighted work.

whatever happened to your SMELL-O-VISION [google.ca] research?
One game released by Sega or Nintendo came with a book with scratch-and-sniff patches. It might have been Nintendo's Earthbound.
But that in and of itself doesn't mean Dr. Gupta isn't a fraud.
Sega should be able to determine the future of it's franchises
And watch the Virtua Fighter franchise be mutilated into Virtua Tekken. (We just had a big discussion about this in EmuChina boards.)
