Answer» Thanks, and you too. You know I was thrown by why anyone would hack into a system that measures or records music. But then I guess, new artists could do it to get their music on the list for requests. Also, fans could do it to flood the requests for their favorites. Wow! The music industry is indeed cut-throat./b]Always has been...it's where the word payola came from...and that was way before you or i were born.Wait a MINUTE, hold up! I might be older than you think. Payola? But I thought payola was more or less common practice these days. Why would anyone hack a music database/mediabase? I thought payola was simply PAYING stations to play an artist's music. So how does....I'm trying to figure this out. If you're doing payola, why hack? See ....now i got you thinking... *giggles* I was thinking before mister. Now I want answers because this is the world that our young musician (David Archuleta) has decided to ENTER. I would guess that rogue artists could always hack their music onto the list. Heck, my local station didn't know anything about the mediabase request form; which is in fact the station's playlist made AVAILABLE for requesting. so if you have an upstart group, they might hack because I don't see where they'd have the money for payola. I'm thinking that involves thousands if not hundreds of thousands. So you see, this goes to the AT40 and who gets played on that. Ryan Seacrest SAYS the AT40 is about SALES and REQUESTS. But last week when he was out, his stand-in said it was about SPINS and REQUESTS. So yeah, I can see hackers manipulating the countdown. Oh man! Cut-throat indeed. I need to speak with a DeeJay. Let me see if there's one in here. Thanks Patio.Anyone whether right or wrong...for financial gain or otherwise can and will manipulate data to suit their agenda... Take Politics for instance.Well, let's hope political change does in fact take place. We all need to work together with this president the last one froze us out. This one is asking the man on the street if he has an answer for the economic crisis. I'd say that change already. |
