Good Afternoon everybody. This question is purely for educational purposes only. I'm sure some of you have heard about the guy from North Carolina who used thousands of AI generated songs to steal over $10 Million from streaming services Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon music, and Youtube Music. I saw an article about it online. In the article, which was written on September 5, 2024, it said the guy "had 52 cloud service accounts, each with 20 bot accounts on streaming platforms, for a total of 1,040 bot accounts." He let the bots play music every minute of everyday for several months and used VPN to hide his IP. Obviously his actions are heinous and unethical, because no real people were listening to his music at all and the money that he stole, he took from real artists who have real listeners.
With that being said. My question is how did he manage to get a cloud service account and how did he get 20 bots on each channel? Could someone explain the steps needed to complete such a task. (>*-*)> Thankyou <(*-*<)
