In agreeing to be paid by music streaming platforms they almost certainly agreed not to do exactly this. Which makes it fraud.
Sounds like a breach of contract, which is a civil matter.
I think that depends on intent and amount of money involved, but I'm definitely not a lawyer.
Its also cyber crime which is possibly why the FBI need to be involved
Corpos commit cyber crimes against wage slaves daily... Feds don't do Jack shit about it ... I wonder why this would in the land of the Law 🤣
