So on my regular trawls of you tube to find that gem I've always been looking for, I've stumbled upon a couple of things that pop up quite regularly and was wandering if anyone could bring light to the motives of this?
I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this, but people seem to be ripping or downloading small (underground, not well known) artists songs, editing them a little bit, sometimes not at all, and then adding a picture of a famous artist (ie avicii or alesso mainly) and then uploading it with a new name, pretending that its a newly leaked track or something....
I just don't understand the people who are doing this... WHY!?! If you wanted to steal a track and reupload it, why would you want to take the glory yourself, rather than giving it to someone who already has it, and possibly even bringing their high standards down?
Now, unless its the original artist uploading their song, then commenting on it saying "FAAAKE" in order to get more publicity, now THAT makes sense to me... Not sure of the legality of that though.
Anyway, Discuss!
