Yeah, it's an exploit but it doesn't seem illegal. It seems like the issue is with whatever service. They need to fix their contract or their software. Maybe it is in the contract or EULA that you can't do this sort of thing already though, in which case it's fair game.
Then that would be a civil matter and he wouldn't have been arrested for it.
I mean, being arrested doesn't mean a crime was committed. It means he's accused of a crime. I'll be interested to see if there is actually a conviction in the end.
Exactly, I don't think there was anything illegal here. At best it's breach of contract with Spotify or whoever, and they could get sued. MAYBE there's some interpretation of fraud that could apply? But it's not like he sold anything and misrepresented it.
