Re:Man pleads guilty to $8M AI-generated music scheme by randyrand on Saturday March 21, 2026 @07:37AM (#47466124)
Not it’s not. Creating fake accounts and instructing them to listen to music does not generate any money. The actual money generation, the actual fraud, was carried out on his behalf when the platform claimed the listens were real and charged the advertisers for it.

Under the letter of the law, this is just a TOS violation.
