  1. Re:Do they have pay for repeats? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 2

    If you want fucking songs, there's always youporn and redtube although I wouldn't exactly call the audio "songs".

  2. Re:Irrelevant statistics much? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 2

    If Pandora pays $1M upfront to a label company to stream their library and then additionally pays $0.001 to the artist/stream and Spotify pays nothing to a label company but pays $0.006 to the label company who then gives 1% to the artist, then which approach gets the artist more money?

    Robbing a bank.

    We already seem to have support from the NDP, but a stronger support wouldn't hurt. If you are Canadian, please sign this: https://openmedia.org/SpyOnUs

  11. Re:Where? on Samsung Smart TVs Don't Encrypt the Voice Data They Collect · · Score: 1

    Not everyone wants a TV this huge, not everyone uses "channels" anymore (this is Slashdot, you should have dropped cable/satellite years ago and be using an AppleTV/FireTV/etc by now), headphones/external speakers are usually better than the low-fi audio in a thin TV set and you don't need a TV remote without built-inchannels/built-in audio, you use the remote of your set-top box instead.

  12. Re:Consumer Co-ops on Samsung Smart TVs Don't Encrypt the Voice Data They Collect · · Score: 1

    You don't have an external box for that?

  13. Re:Installable devkits on Will Every Xbox Be a Dev Kit? · · Score: 1

    Yet OUYA fizzled for some reason.

    There's always the Uzebox. It may be a lot less powerful, but it's open source, anyone can code for it and anyone can build one at home at a very low cost.

    You can already buy a regular, not-smart TV everywhere. It's called a computer monitor.
