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.
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.
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 🤣
