Which one assumes was something of a synopsis of the article.
I had the same reaction.
One could make one hundred CD-R copies of the "download" and sell it to ... someone, I guess. Same with the raw file - you could send it to folks who may or may not pay for it.
How much money could one get for a slightly used EXILE album? Certainly not enough to go out and buy another equally horrible record.
I think very highly of Mr. Sommovigo but was a bit shocked to hear what terrible records he bought in his youth. Proves there is hope for us all!
If one gets worked up enough about just about any product it can be construed a "swindle". I mean apples grow on trees and you have to pay for them at the grocery store.
I think the article was more than a little contrived and silly. You pays your money and take your choice, as the old saying goes. If you think it is worthless don't buy it. Go to a Russian download site and get it for free if it makes you feel better.
