"Should happen remotely" – according to who? What is the security risk for the end-user?
"this suggest a fundamental lack of security practices at the company" – that's a stretch of a conclusion to make. You're being as hyperbolic as the original post.
What didn't I understand about the article? This still offers a slight increase in security over static barcodes, without introducing any new vulnerabilities.
Do you have a source for this? What platform are they selling multiple copies of the ticket through, and what app are the buyers using that allows multiple buyers to receive and show the same animated barcode?
I'd argue that a few extra people sneaking in on the same ticket (assuming this is even possible) is more like sharing your Netflix credentials than ripping Netflix content and having it be shareable with the entire world.
You're also walking into a stadium/concert in plain view of security cameras, so the stakes and deniability are different as well.
I hate TM and ridiculous fees as much as anyone, but this article is overly hyperbolic.
There's a section named "Pirating Tickets", that just explains how to re-create a barcode that you already paid for. You're not using this to rob anyone of anything.
And at the end, "Have fun refactoring your ticket verification system". Why? There are no vulnerabilities here. A rotating barcode (even if following a known pattern) is still more secure than a static barcode on a piece of paper.
