Maybe it's stating the obvious here, but the article is both satire and a few months old (May 2014). Though maybe the casual techie/music listener might plausibly imagine that a DJ might lose a thumbdrive containing their entire s

Just a thought: understandably, with a younger audience, I imagine that most of your users are not going to be conscious or care about conflicts of interest. I am curious though, did you and your fellow reviewers disclose your roles in your
