OK then, it's proof of concept for a botnet. That would make the headline awfully long.

- ryanlol 11y agoIt'd be ridiculously stupid to have a botnet do this instead of running it on your own hardware. Again, you can easily run thousands of spotify clients on a single computer.
- 6stringmerc 11y agoFair enough. I think his assertion that using an exploit to compromise Spotify Premium account users (via targeted malware) is kind of the extreme example to justify the term botnet. Unless I'm mistaken, running thousands of clients on the same computer would take a lot of effort to 'distribute' over enough IPs as to cloak the operation? I get that you have some beef with the phrasing used, but I think for the sake of practicality calling "a network of robots posing as humans" a botnet is fine and not click bait at its core. Not to belabor the point but I'm pretty sure I could scold you about some improper music terminology usage when you'd be trying to make a point.
