Someone Is Stealing Tracker Songs and Selling Them

Am i the only one who has no clue what a &quot;Tracker Song&quot; is?<p>The article barely touches on this, saying vaguely <i>&quot;The songs that were stolen were often used in keygen cracking software that was popular in the 2000s to pirate software&quot;</i> -- so the music was used as a key for the keygen? Or was it just included for giggles? Or is it a fingerprint intended for actual tracking?<p>edit: thanks for all the replies, some really great info below!

The way I understand the tracker scene, most don&#x27;t care about restricting distribution of their tracks. But when others are actually selling, I&#x27;d think some authors might disagree with that.<p>The original authors can sue. And given the extensive documentation on these tracks, it would be an easy case. But whether there&#x27;d be any money to recover is unclear. Given the paltry damages you likely get when you&#x27;re not selling yourself and tolerating copying anyway. Also the seller might be hard to reach legally, and you&#x27;d still have to actually sue, which comes with costs.<p>So the other route is sending notices to at least damage the business model.

Is it possible that the original author of these tracks is the one who has uploaded them to DistroKid? In which case it&#x27;s not stealing at all. I guess it&#x27;s fairly unlikely, though.

I believe Pud is on HN. He can perhaps provide the DistroKid response?

There are people not only hijacking copyrights in this genre, but in every genre.

There&#x27;s some irony when people are complaining about music stolen from <i>keygen cracking software</i>. How dare they steal from us while we stole from others!
