[TRF_Cymro]

A man has admitted being involved in a £500,000 fraud in which he used stolen credit card details to buy his own songs on iTunes and Amazon.

Lamar Johnson, 19, from Wolverhampton, was part of a group accused of obtaining royalties from the sales.

They allegedly downloaded the songs 6,000 times in 2008 and 2009. Johnson admitted being responsible for about 2,000, Southwark Crown Court heard.

He was remanded in custody after sentencing was adjourned.

Prosecuting, Helen Malcolm QC, said Johnson, of Stowheath Lane, used "compromised credit card details" in order to gain royalties from the sales of the songs he posted on the websites.

That is a very creative way of stealing. Normal people would buy stuff for themselves or transfer money to their bank accounts from the creditcards but this guy buys his own songs and picks up the royalties haha

To be fair, bit of legend of a scam but cant condone his actions.

It's stupid too. How much are those royalties anyway? 15%?

That means that he is throwing 85% of the credit he steals away
