Honestly it’s a fantastic use case - particularly if they figured out how to give a unique NFT (non serialized) for music on decentralized storage - without a normative data structure. And jf they could revoke it for subscription services, even better.

If they can’t do either of these things, they should dm me - I have the patent to pull this off.

Edit: just read it. Players cards..? Seriously..? How lame.

Impossible due to the SCROTUS rulings on qualified immunity which doesn't even exist in the underlying legislation. You can't get busted as a cop for screwing over a citizen unless there's case law in that court circuit specifically declaring what the cops did before is not allowed. But you can't get that ruling made until another ruling is made before saying the same thing already. So you can never get a ruling at all.

>If the average American was even aware of the extent to which their privacy has been invaded there would be rioting in the streets.

Yeah, nah. I'd bet that you wouldn't either even if people were rioting on the streets. You'd type out a comment on Reddit, and that would be that.
