"What a strange time we live in, when an imposter can write a tune, or have a toaster write it for him": People are pretending to be Alan Parsons and he's not happy about it

Alan Parsons.

Alan Parsons has become the latest victim of an artist impersonation scam, and he's not happy about it.

In such scams, the perpetrators upload their own music (often low-quality, AI-generated tracks) to streaming platforms under the name of an established or upcoming artist, or tag well-known artists as collaborators without their permission. This is done to appear on the legitimate artist's profile and to benefit from their audience and Release Radar placements.
