Man Arrested for Creating Fake Bands With AI, Then Making $10 Million by Listening to Their Songs With Bots
An alleged scammer has been arrested under suspicion that he used AI to create a wild number of fake bands — and fake streams to with them.
The feds seem to have him dead to rights.
He is fucked, bad idea to mess around with big corpos.
He can perfectly scam to random population and nothing will happen(just like a lot of people do) but big corpos it's another thing.

The charges appear to stem from faking listener traffic to get royalties from the streaming services, not from infringing copyrights—the fact that it was AI-generated is probably irrelevant.
As far as I can tell, it's fraud and has nothing to do with copyright.

The AI Music CEO was unnamed. I wonder if they are uncharged and keeping their fees.
AI music may be just the business to be in.
