I tried to find the article, but of course it is lost to the anals of the internet. (Yes, I know what I said). I saw an article a couple of years ago about how there was a push in China that would use the built-in cameras in smart TVs to watch how many eyes were looking at the screen during rented features and charge extra if there were more than some small threshold of people watching it. I think 3 people were allowed for a single rental price and it would be charged again if more than that watched.
This is likely coming for us. Also... Yo ho ho.
Arrr matey! Cover them ‘cams with yer glorious eyepatch or a post-it note like a landlubber!
If everyone wears an eyepatch, than you can effectively double the number of people that can watch your rental!
That's when I throw the fucker on their front porch.
Well, we all get lost in the anals of the internet sometimes.
That's some serious Black Mirror shit
Pretty sure Microsoft patented that idea for use with the Kinect in the Xbox one
Fucking yikes
