I would argue that, at this point,/. is far more worthless of a site than 4chan. 4chan at least still has some degree of impact on the internet at large. When's the last time the slashdot effect was actually a thing?
Not to mention that I'm pretty sure the Reddit community for dogecoin is at least as large as the 4chan community, if not larger.
Why would I care if the RIAA has information on what I listen to? I have no RIAA music in my collection, so I don't really give a shit if they know what I listen to.
Why buy no CDs at all, instead of buying from independentlabelslikethese that don't sue people for downloading their music? And if none of those record labels have music that suits your tastes (I'll admit I lean towards hipster garbage in music taste), check RIAA Radar before you buy.
For most people on slashdot, the RIAA is just a justification to make themselves feel better about downloading instead of buying.
Since you seem to be such an expert on the subject, please tell me exactly where the line lies for what does and does not "constitute art." This is the problem with people who like to sit and pontificate about what is or isn't art. It's undefinable. Everything is art, and if you try to define it any other way, you're going to find yourself drawing arbitrary lines in the sand.
I have this great product to sell you, friend! It's elephant repellent made from the oil of the Kumba-Kimba bird of the deep forests of Africa! Why, ever since I imported this oil into the United States, not a single one of my customers has had an elephant stampede through his or her living room!
Does anybody really use services like this? I'm only vaguely aware of the Google Notebook feature by virtue of accidentally clicking on it from time to time.
Not purchasing any CDs is stupid if you also avoid buying them from non-RIAA labels. That said, there are a numberoflabels I like that provide non-RIAA music.
Also: I'll probably be modded down now for suggesting that you should buy music instead of pirate it.

Dinosaur Comics perhaps?
Other countries, for the most part, mail internationally to that same place. Nice troll, though.
I think you don't understand what cowboy coding means.
So, if I call someone from my residence and record the conversation without any consent I'll be commiting a crime?
In some states (such as Florida), yes. Both parties have to be aware of it.

Well, I suppose it isn't $5000, but...

Strange as it looks, "his" is the correct singular, sexist, third person, possessive pronoun.
Speak English, please (also removed a wrong comma -- it's not a serial comma because there was no "and", "or", or similar).
Fixed your wording and added back in a comma that belongs there. All of those words are describing the word "pronoun," thus they all belong.
Strange as it looks, "its" is the correct singular, gender-neutral, third person, possessive pronoun.

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Colorless green ideas sleep furiously?
Says the person posting xkcd comics, which have outworn their welcome even faster.
But you're confusing the issue. All of those things are art in games. The game itself isn't art because it contains art.
I'm firmly in the games-as-art camp, but this is not the correct way to argue that games are art.
Or do you browse with AdBlock? I honestly had forgotten the big, ugly ads /. has, because I've had them blocked for so long.
My guess is he got a < or > swallowed.

Well, for individual albums, you can always check RIAA Radar, which will tell you if an album is put out on an RIAA label or not.

So, if you use it... how/why?
I was wondering why that joke didn't make any sense.

Can I patent a particular funny walk just because I specified a process?
Ah, you're looking for The Ministry of Silly Walks.
As well as Florida and Arizona's.
