Spotify is the same. This impersonation ought to be illegal.
I'm pretty sure it is. Effective enforcement is a different matter.
It is illegal. Anybody making money on that is using the artist's image without permission. Anybody who spent money on it has been defrauded.
Do you have some impersonated artist names I would be able to look up? This isn't a thing I have (knowingly) run into on Spotify yet and I'm really curious to see more
