15 million people drive interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles every year. Assuming the corridor of coverage is a mile wide, that's less than 300 square miles of coverage, Much of which is actually urban cityscapes that will have dense coverage regardless.

The Sahara is 3.5 million square miles, with a population of about 3 million people.

I'd tell you to do the math, but clearly, simple arithmetic is not your thing.

There aren't a lot of cell towers in the desert because there aren't a lot of cell phones in the desert. And that's a one way relationship. They don't cell towers in the desert because there are no people there. People do not decline to move to the desert because there's no cell service.

You're missing the point. It's not about electronics per se, but DRM. Audio quality is irrelevant.

Not for the majority of people buying vinyl.

So, unless that electronic turntable is monitoring what it is playing and cross-references that to a database of your licensed music, or needs a stupid app to work (I hope I'm not giving them ideas...), then your argument is moot.

Why do you believe that won't happen? Were you born yesterday? Imagine the personalized marketing that could be done with that info. No, I'm not kidding.

Flock has really screwed up its marketing. It feels like they are a bunch of Techbros that don't understand peoples fear of privacy violations.

It isn't that they don't understand. They don't care. Why should they? The law doesn't apply to them, and lesser being exist to be controlled by their superiors. Just ask them.
