I am just impressed by the idea and execution. Just wow. Too bad he took it too far.

Definitely an abuse of the system, but I’m struggling to see where criminal law says you can’t make a bunch of fake accounts to listen to garbage music.
From justice.gov:
This is a ridiculous law, it might as well be called “money fraud”. Justice is a bad joke.
Fraud is pretty broad and covers most things that deliberately misrepresent reality to take money from someone else.
Yet advertising and billionaires exist. It’s not what you do, it’s what clique you’re part of.
Dont hurt the normies mate!
In agreeing to be paid by music streaming platforms they almost certainly agreed not to do exactly this. Which makes it fraud.
Sounds like a breach of contract, which is a civil matter.
I think that depends on intent and amount of money involved, but I’m definitely not a lawyer.
Its also cyber crime which is possibly why the FBI need to be involved
Corpos commit cyber crimes against wage slaves daily… Feds don’t do Jack shit about it … I wonder why this would in the land of the Law 🤣
