I'm an executive in the music industry and I'm familiar with the details of the situation. I can't talk about the specifics, but I can tell you that your guess is very close to the reality. There is one additional twist, but

Cloning is fairly common when you're writing functional style code with immutable objects. Not "code smell".

That being said, sometimes a good abstraction can really simplify a complex problem by dividing it up to a set of smaller sub-problems. In such cases, the abstraction is worth it even if there is no reuse. As always, rules like this have to

It doesn’t look like this will stop supermarkets from tracking people, this will just require them to share that information with the government, so this tracking will be in addition to the existing tracking, not replacing it. I would say t

If you have to change one of the underlying values, you only need to change it in one place. Of course, you could just use constants, but then you’ll just have a const enum with extra steps.

Also, you know, specs can and have bugs. You can have the most comprehensive requirements and specification and a 100% correct implementation of the spec and still end up with software that just doesn’t work, because the spec and the requir

This is very common in the entertainment industry. If you think the story of Viacom and CBS is crazy, look up the story of the Victor Talking Machine Company and its many descendants and “relatives”, including RCA, HMV, JVC, EMI, Capitol Re
