A man today admitted using stolen credit cards to buy his own songs on iTunes and Amazon to take thousands of pounds in royalties. Lamar Johnson, 19, posted music on the two sites and then used the stolen details to buy them thousands of times over.
Helen Malcolm QC, prosecuting, said Johnson used “compromised credit card details” in order to cream royalties from the music sales. Johnson, of Stowheath Lane, Wolverhampton, is the youngest member of a group accused of making nearly £500,000 through the fraudulent downloads. The group allegedly downloaded the songs 6,000 times between January 2008 and June 2009.
