The superstars had their music stolen by an 18-year-old high school student and an unemployed 23-year-old man, for nearly a year, Duisburg, Germany prosecutor Rolf Haferkamp told the AP.

The pair reportedly made just over $13,000 for selling their illegally-acquired tunes.

According to several local reports, the teen, whose first name is Deniz, is an amateur disc jockey who goes by the name DJ Stolen.  He and his "accomplice" used a Trojan Horse to hack into the artists' computers.

Along with numerous songs, a "sexually compromising photo" of one of the female artists was downloaded, and then used to blackmail her!

Prosecutor Haferkamp refused to identify the female singer.

it was an alert fan of Kelly Clarkson's who first spotted the scam.  She noticed an unreleased track from her favorite singer for sale on the internet and alerted the American Idol winner's management.

Deniz's attorney Burkhard Benecken told the AP his client is just a young music fan who got carried away.

"Definitely my client made some mistakes and he has already told police," Benecken said.  "However, I'm convinced that he is not that big blackmailer that everybody is trying to depict him as now -- that's way over the top."

In his own interview with the German newspaper Bild, Deniz claimed he is just a fan.  "I just wanted to have cool music," he said.

DNP Yet Another Repository for Random Things

Don’t tell anyone we found this at PB Teen, but this Chalkboard Speaker not only hides your iPod speakers, but you can leave messages on the chalk board, “English HW!,”  “Call Jen,” or tell your little sister to stay away from your stuff. Unprintable. But at $180 we’re not rushing out to buy one. Though these other options can cost more, the audio quality is sooooo much better!  Check out Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 ($99 - $293),or Logitech Pure-Fi Dream ($148 - $199) or even the lower priced iHome iH9 (black), which offer superior audio sound. Then buy yourself a chalk board for 20 bucks. Hold on….that’s Modern Design calling us on the other line.
