Musician sentenced for AI streaming fraud
A 54-year-old musician in the US has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for orchestrating a large-scale streaming fraud scheme. Using up to 10,000 bots, thousands of fake accounts, and thousands of AI-generated songs, he manipulated streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube between 2017 and 2024. The fraudulent streams generated millions in royalty payments. At one point, his songs achieved 80.9 million streams in April, far surpassing Taylor Swift's 9.3 million. The court also ordered him to repay over $8 million. His defense argued that no musicians were directly harmed, but prosecutors countered that real artists and fans were deprived of royalties.
Walmart's Vizio Bets on MrBeast, Holiday Films for Streaming
Walmart-owned Vizio is significantly investing in its free ad-supported streaming service, WatchFree+, to boost advertising opportunities for brands. The company announced new content partnerships with major studios including MGM, NBCUniversal, Disney, A&E, and A24, and will add creator-led channels from digital personalities such as MrBeast, Hot Ones, and others. Vizio is also producing its first original feature-length holiday film, 'Jingle Bells Wedding Bells,' starring Rachel Bilson and Scott Foley, with GEICO as presenting sponsor. These moves aim to attract high-income viewers and Walmart's suppliers and marketplace sellers to advertise on the platform. WatchFree+ has grown to reach 27 million devices, a 25% year-over-year increase, with viewing hours up 58% year-over-year.
Walmart outlines plan to dominate TV advertising
Walmart is aggressively expanding its retail media ambitions into TV advertising. The retailer, which acquired Vizio for $2.3 billion two years ago, is now building a streaming ecosystem that includes the recent acquisition of adtech firm Vibe.co for $1.4 billion. Walmart Connect, the retailer's ad business, is pitching itself to non-endemic advertisers, leveraging Vizio's smart TV OS and Vibe.co's performance-focused streaming platform. New partnerships with Skydance and Spotify aim to extend reach, and the Yahoo DSP integration is moving to alpha. Walmart's U.S. ad business grew 38% YoY in Q2, and the company is positioning its first-party commerce data as the key differentiator for TV ad targeting and measurement, even for brands that don't sell at Walmart.
