That would be the missing bit! Cheers
Comment on US man pleads guilty to defrauding music streamers out of millions using AI

How is that different from Spotify producing their own AI-gen music? Seems like that’s 3-4 minutes of listening that otherwise would’ve been spent listening to an artist.

The crime here was faking the play counts with listening bots, thus closing the loop. If an artist built a machine to play their own song a billion times to make them money, that would also be a crime, I suppose.
