Cant wait to see who turns out to be involved.

But come on, that has to be one of the most time consuming scams ever!!!

they must of had a sports hall full of slaves registering accounts on itunes to have amassed that much in royalties, cause filling out the registration forms gets boring after doing about,.... once.

LOADS of credit card scams are like this now... it's more and more difficult to take out large amounts of money on stolen/cloned card details so they do loads of smaller amounts that are less likely to get flagged up by the card companies / banks. I know a fair few people e.g. who've had their Switch cards used to make a series of £10 payments to O2 mobile phone topups without their knowledge...

It wasn't really that clever given that they got caught, is it?

I bet it was Caspa and Rusko, trying to ruin dubstep and possibly music in general.

There must be a better way to go about making money? I suppose they wanted to increase their profile but I can't believe they actually expected to get away with it!

To be honest i cant see this being tune cores fault as its apple who pay the royalties and process the payments and tune core receive the money and pass back to the artists tune core make their money from the £18 - 30 people pay to put the release online.

Am the I the only one that thinks this was a seriously inventive scam, although time consuming. They'd have needed some serious disk space to accomodate all those mp3's. They better let us know who it was!

I can't believe some of you think this was a good idea!

This should be in one of those dumb criminal programmes its so bad.

Did this London DJ really think it wouldn't come back to him if a large % of his sales were made with stolen cards.

Still, quite amusing all the same
