I have a suspicion that music mafia is hacking in the instagrams/emails/twitter/icloud of a lot of these artists and producers, getting the tracks through the DM's. A lot of musicians/producers keep there stuff in their dm's and emails'. There's a lot of politicking in the DM's as well, which would explain ability to get numbers and contact info as well.

trade or sell it like how people do celebrity nudes.

they fukked up by publicly selling their leaks. that's the fastest way to get artists, labels, and anybody else involved to crack down. either do it in the dark or just send them out to outlets and leak it without a care or your name attached.

because so many artists send tracks online back and forth for mixing or keep them online in the cloud, they're always gonna be vulnerable to hackers that steal without disrupting. it's why ye kept WTT in a briefcase attached to a person and never sent anything online. not to mention the numerous people the music gets sent to, for whatever reason, who have no monetary attachment to it that spread it around for clout or a lil bit of cash.

All the frequent buyers got emails confirming MM is officially dead. Moving to a more lowkey arrangement now
