That’s 27000 streams/hour. How? Why did this take years to discover? How did this not get automatically detected within minutes?
WTF am I doing with my life if it is this easy to scam 2.4million in a year? 1 year and I could yoink it all and move to some BF island in the middle of nowhere with no extradition and live the rest of my life playing Blackjack and Hookers.
I wonder if they wouldn’t have been caught if they only did 200k a year.
Getting those Office Space vibes.
Just double check your decimal places.

exactly my thought. man would be out paying some millions, and he will enjoy
I feel that way about ten second dumbfuck GMod videos on YouTube with a million views. Who knew heads in toilets would end up being a worldwide sensation?
Couldn’t you argue Meta scams investors by allowing bots and AI to inflate their user base numbers?
You see, Meta has billions, which puts them above the law. Also they make their investors happy, most likely
The charges this guy is facing are insane.
*Charged for falsifying his identity and billing info
Posting AI-generated songs is perfectly legal, and there are other people who have made 6 figures doing this without committing fraud
The charges have nothing to do with the content he uploaded. Are people so ready to give their opinion on AI that they assume AI must be the reason he’s getting charged?
Yup, the key difference is their listeners are actually human.
