Taylor Swift, întrecută la ascultări de un necunoscut. Cum a ajuns bărbatul să fie condamnat la închisoare

An American musician, Michael Smith, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for orchestrating a fraudulent scheme that generated millions in fake streaming revenue. Using AI and thousands of automated accounts, he surpassed Taylor Swift's streaming numbers on YouTube Music. Smith's scheme involved creating fake accounts and generating hundreds of thousands of songs to manipulate streaming statistics, resulting in over $8 million in illegal earnings. He pled guilty to electronic fraud and must forfeit his ill-gotten gains. This case marks the first federal criminal prosecution in the U.S. for music streaming fraud involving AI.
