alt Hacker NewsThe part saying he robbed streams from legitimate artists and fans is quite stupid but expected in a case like this.

If there was a sane payment system for spotify it would be literally impossible for that to be the case.
It says he robbed royalty payments which is true because of the way most of these services distribute royalties. All listens go into a global pool and count the same amount. So if you listen 20 hours a day, you control not only the royalty payments from your subscription but the royalty payments from several other people's subscriptions.
