PDF: http://www.practicus.co.kr/admin/uplo... Summary Moving beyond the era of LPs, cassettes, CDs and illegal downloads, online streaming has become the main method of listening to music. Various payment plans allow you to easily stream music you want to listen to on your computers or smartphones. However, with the convenience of listening to music comes the increasing possibility of stream manipulation. As music listeners are swayed by the top charts on streaming sites, the music industry is constantly tempted to create fake streams to boost their ranking and earn higher royalty payments. On the Internet, finding the price tags for fake clicks is not a difficult thing to do. The issue resurfaces once in a while, especially when lesser known or new musicians top the chart. In Korea recently, there was a controversy about a musician who mentioned the names of other singers as streaming manipulators. The problem is that fake streams are hard to catch and crack down on, and their size is hard to measure. Musicians who are suspected of manipulation all deny it and say that they are wrongfully criticized. In the world of the Internet and smartphones, trending charts and rankings are vulnerable to manipulation. Depending on illegitimate methods may bring temporary benefits to manipulators but will hurt the music industry as a whole in the long run. Keywords / Key Sentences 1. 음원 사재기 의혹이 항상 있어 왔다.
