In the early 2000s, tools like Napster and Limewire allowed people to download music and video files for free – depriving artists of their income. The emergence of streaming services like Netflix, Apple Music and Spotify make it easy to access unlimited content – and ensure that artists are paid for their creations.

Seriously... This told me all I needed to know about how objective this article was going to be. Stopped reading right there.

Absolutely. Spotify doesn't exactly pay artists very well. It's better than nothing, but Spotify is wealthier than the vast majority of artists it profits from.

Who is Panda Security?

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wiki page for them. Pretty sure all you need to read is the warnings at the top of the page to know all you need about who they are.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

They really should make those warnings expanded by default on mobile. And the last one should be first.

Panda Security is a Antivirus company.
They are owned by Watchguard which sells physical firewalls, MFA and Endpoint Security (which includes technologies like EDPR or Endpoint Detection and Response)

A garbage provider since the 90s.
