Music-blog aggregator the Hype Machine is clamping down a bit on new memberships because certain artists created fake profiles and voted up their own songs en masse in order to heighten their visibility on the service. Sockpuppeting on music-blog charts. Sigh. Anyway, I am thrilled that the Hype guys also went out of their way to name the bands that have been caught engaging in chart-inflation practices, especially since one decided to call itself–wait for it–Kid Legit.
