“ A group of DJs from London and the Midlands were arrested and their homes raided on Wednesday over a suspected music royalties scam which is the first of its kind dealt with by Metropolitan police detectives. They are alleged to have placed their own music on iTunes, the Apple music store, and Amazon, and used stolen credit card details to buy it. It is claimed they generated about £450,000 in download sales with stolen card details - even catching the eye of music industry chiefs as a new emerging talent. ”
