A dark web dealer who stole unreleased music from the likes of Coldplay, Shawn Mendes and Bebe Rexha has been given a suspended 21-month jail sentence.

Skylar Dalziel, 22, made tens of thousands of pounds after accessing the copyrighted tracks by illegally accessing cloud storage accounts linked to the artists.

Dalziel was sentenced at Luton crown court on Friday, having pleaded guilty to nine copyright offences and four computer misuse offences, police said. She was also ordered to complete 180 hours of unpaid work.

She made an estimated £42,000 between April 2021 and January 2023, City of London police said, but was caught when her Luton home was raided after a recording industry tip-off.

Her computer hard drives revealed access to about 290,000 tracks from artists including Coldplay, Shawn Mendes, Melanie Martinez, Upsahl and Bebe Rexha, police said.

 

 

A mess.

There was a big Coldplay leak Last year. There's also basically a new unreleased Bebe Rexha song every week. 

 

So... Yes. I think this person sold/leaked quiet a lot

@skyupsahl was the nastiest little gremlin along with that pet gay she used to carry around in her pocket. I'd say it's a shame she avoided prison but seeing she lives in Luton, maybe that's an even worse sentence. I guess crime doesn't pay *****

hacking to a point where you have 290,000 unreleased tracks in your possession is insanity ngl but at that point you know you had it coming

They could have at least donated some of that money to fix the servers though.

She'd worm her way into a discord server and then say she had exclusives of people's favourite artists that people could pay her for. Then when you paid her she'd send you a link to download the song but in actual fact it was a Trojan and she'd steal all your files.

 

Not to mention she put up the most insufferable uwu cupcake act
