Interesting this is marketed for $500k as a "One Time Sale" (1) I find the "honor amongst thieves" part so interesting in these breach stories (1) Troy Hunt, via an "X" user has a screenshot to the actual sale -> https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1795551650553491870 https://x.com/troyhunt/status/1795551650553491870

$500k for 1.3TB, any idea how that compares to that type of sales?

If this is real, you'd hope for Ticketmaster to come in clean and purchase it back.

  Would be ironic if someone else bought it and sold it to Ticketmaster at a significant markup

    Although I doubt they would buy it back, their customers all hate them, they have the worst reputation, and they've never given any shits about that. So I don't think they'll do any of that anyhow.

      > their customers all hate them, they have the worst reputation Maybe worth pointing out- that's a feature, not a bug. The value Ticketmaster provides is taking the anger from fans for high prices. The performers (and producers/labels/whatever) want to extract as much value from their fans as they can, and having Ticketmaster look like the greedy badperson prevents their fans from being mad at them.

        Interesting. How do the artists get paid beyond the ticket prices if the money goes to Ticketmaster though?

At 2.6 megabytes per dollar, it is at least cheaper than the price of a (very legal) kdb license, which can hover around 3 bytes per dollar. Comparing apples and oranges here but I like thinking about the monetary value assigned to a byte.

There's no sales_ord_delux_hdr/1... also sales_ord_delux_hdr/0 is the smallest partition... that's strange :/
