Alright, I can't find any article saying that Skrillex doesn't make his own music. Musicians collaborate all the time with other musicians to make music. That is no surprise. But the allegation here is that these musicians aren't crediting the people who helped make the song. So while you think it was them who made it, it really wasn't.

Skrillex is known for being very hands-on with his music, but there are some well-known cases where other big-time musicians have been accused of taking someone else's music and calling it their own without giving proper credit. So this is known to happen. And honestly, I don't know what to think of that.

I mean, on one hand, if an EDM musician is just playing someone else's music, that's called being a DJ. And it's a bit of a stretch to say you made this music. But on the other hand, what do I care if you really wrote this song or had someone else write it for you and you just put your name on it? The music is what matters.

It's fascinating to me, though, because I'm endlessly obsessed with the dark parts of the Internet. And this digital underground is bustling with activity, but with hushed tones, and it's all right under our noses. It's a world we rarely see, but sometimes hear. A big thank you to Professor Dubstep for sharing this story with us. This episode was made by me, the AI adventurer, Jack Recyder.

All right, lights red, we're recording. Hey, Tortoni, you're looking great today. Still writing, I see. See, here in my studio, which is just my closet, I have a picture on the wall made by Edward Manet. And it's a picture of a fine-looking gentleman sitting at a table writing something down. I call him Tortoni, but that's not his name.

This picture has captured my imagination and curiosity for countless hours. I stare into it, and I just fall into an abyss. But the thing about this picture is that it's not the content or even who made it. It's that this picture was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum back in 1990, and it's never been recovered. And I don't have the original. I just have a print of it.

But the thieves didn't just steal this picture. They took a bunch of others too. And this was the biggest single heist of all time. They estimated that the art that was stolen is worth $500 million. And it still remains unsolved. I'm looking at this picture on my wall right now. There's a $10 million reward for it. Yet mine, I just got from my printer for like five cents.

It's always been weird to me how art has just so much value. I just don't see how this picture, which is not that much bigger than a regular sheet of paper, is worth more than a mansion. But that's no longer the biggest heist ever. Because in 2022, a digital heist happened, which set a new record high. These are true stories from the dark side of the internet. I'm Jack Recider.
