Según distintas fuentes y rumores, el DJ de Países Bajos, Hardwell, ha sido eliminado de la competencia DJ Mag Top 100.
Aparentemente Hardwell ha cosechado votos de manera ilegal, según investigaciones, reclutando a un equipo de programadores que clonan la dirección IP y correos con el propósito de generar múltiples votos a favor del productor.
Investigadores de la aclamada revista señalan lo siguiente:
“this is a very serious allegation. Although the magazine poll isn’t an accurate measure of a performer’s skill as a DJ it has an important commercial aspect for EDM performers.”
“Our suspicions were aroused when we came across a number of unusually titled email addresses and cloned IP addresses used to cast votes for Hardwell. We tracked the source of the scam to the hidden basement of a property in Mumbai believed to be owned by Hardwell where the DJ had forcefully recruited a family of programmers to work around the clock casting votes with promises of merchandise, image makeovers and DJ lessons.”
“The programmers were able to clone IP addresses from users around the globe to hide their tracks. When we noticed a lot of votes being cast from IPs across the Middle East and North Africa we felt they warranted investigation as dance music doesn’t really have a foothold in those places.”
“We only became suspicious when we noticed that the email addresses began showing a pattern – the addresses were in the names of dead or defunct 90s commercial dance acts and tracks. For example, we received 500 votes from a variety of combinations of icantstopraving@gmail.com using different email providers and spellings.”
Uno de los supuestos programadores rompió el silencio declarando que se le pagó por realizar dicha acción fraudulenta además de recibir mercancía de Hardwell como stickers, playera y no sólo eso, sino ayuda del mismo Hardwell para crear su propia música: “he said he’d hire the same ghost writer who writes his music.”¿Y tú, qué opinas?
