iTunes leads to busted performer

 

 

 

A piece of software used by Apple's iTunes has accidentally sparked a scandal in the classical music world -- and cast a shadow on the reputation of an obscure, deceased British pianist now accused of plagiarism.

 

The alleged hoax, in which the recorded works of pianist Joyce Hatto have been called into question, was uncovered using database software that automatically identifies CDs so that fans don't have to manually enter artist and track information when they load the music onto their computers. Technology helped enable the alleged trickery; a newer technology uncovered it.

Wow. Illness conveniently forces here to stop performing in public, and eventually here entire recoreded catalog is going to be uncovered as being stolen recordings of othefr musicians.

Interesting it took a computer to catch the alleged hoax.
