Okay, so I'm seeing the new names thing in effect, and honestly, I have some concerns.
Yes, of course, it's going to take some getting used to, and being averse to change, yes, I'm uncomfortable with it... people I've known for years are going by aliases I'm unfamiliar with, but honestly, that's just me.
The REAL Problem is, this has the potential to result in some serious identity theft problems. If the actual names are close enough, a misleading alias could have some scammer masquerading as well-known artists... or even profitable little-known artists
Am I just being my usual paranoid, or is anyone else seeing a danger here?
