Thank goodness for Ted Gioia, who suspected Spotify was spiking playlists with musak, essentially, and now an investigation has proven him correct. Fake artists who produce cheap tracks and give up all rights to it are now proliferating. He calls it war on the music biz.

@brianvastag I wonder has anyone encountered similar bullshit with other platforms that compete with #Spotify?
I use #Deezer & while I lean towards my own playlists, I do occasionally pop on some of the more ambient background music while I'm working. No idea what half of the tracks are unless it's notably Einaudi or VST.
