Too funny – something tells me these guys aren’t any rocket scientists.
A UK teen named Lamar Johnson has recently plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud. His crime?
It seems that he and his band (both in a musical sense and in a “Robin Hood” sense) used stolen credit cards to purchase something like $750,000 worth of their own music from both Amazon and the iTunes Store between January 2008 and June 2009.
There’s no telling how much the group would have earned from royalties, and the name of the band hasn’t been disclosed (believe me, I’ve looked), but something tells me that they probably recorded dubstep. Also, something tells me that — since the royalties would have to be paid out to someone with a bank account — this was a painfully easy case for prosecutors to crack. While Johnson will find his sentence tacked onto the 5-year jail term he is currently serving for grievous bodily harm, the rest of his 12 member “band” will have to wait until they appear in court in January to discover their fate.
