Lady Gaga was one of the artists who had details stolen.<\/span> <\/p>\nAn 18-year-old computer hacker who stole songs from artists including Lady Gaga has been sentenced to 18 months detention in Germany.<\/p>\n
The court heard how the teenager, who called himself DJ Stolen, earned more than 15,000 euros (\u00a313,260) by breaking copyright laws and hacking personal information from a number of singers.<\/p>\n
The hacker used phishing emails and Trojan horse software to steal unpublished songs and then offer them for sale on the internet.<\/p>\n
Anti-piracy teams in the UK and Germany noticed a growing number of pre-release tracks being leaked much earlier than normal.<\/p>\n
Tracks were stolen from Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Leona Lewis, Kesha and Mariah Carey in 2009 and 2010.<\/p>\n

Singer Kesha had private photos stolen from her computer<\/span><\/p>\nThe teenager, referred to in court as ‘Deniz A’ because of his age, was also found guilty of downloading explicit private photos from Kesha’s computer.<\/p>\n
Apology to Gaga<\/span><\/p>\nThe court in the German city of Duisburg also heard how a letter of apology was published in Daily Bild, a German tabloid newspaper, from the teenager saying:<\/p>\n
“Dear Lady Gaga, I am ashamed of what I have done. I did not think about the consequences.”<\/p>\n
The judge ruled that the teen was “driven more by a desire for recognition than by criminal intent”.<\/p>\n
The 18-year-old was also ordered to have therapy for an addiction to the internet.<\/p>\n
Another hacker, 23, whose name wasn’t released, was also given an 18 months suspended sentence.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Banks, from the International Federation of the Phonograhic Industry (IFPI), which helped with the investigation said the sentences acted as a “deterrent” to others.<\/p>\n
He said the crimes caused “huge damage to artists and record companies”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
