Flooding of Fake Versions of Hits on iTunes: shut up (and sleep with me)

This is not about sin with sebastian or Shut up (and sleep with me) , but a phenomena i whiteness more and more an itunes. Fake versions - not Cover version where another artist presents his take on a song - no, fake versions which copy the original arrangement with (often failing miserably) with no creative input, and trying to trick listeners who search for a specific hit or hit collection. I wonder where this will lead to? Now every kiddo can record and put crap in online stores - flooding them with Fake versions of Hits - and making it so much more difficult to find the actual original recording u want to find...I almost bought a fake Jam and Spoon record yesterday - then realized the release date 2011 - and Marc Spoon died 2006 (ok could have been a re-release - but was not)... I Love Re-mixes and Cover versions with an own arrangement - but copying a Hit´s arrangement to trick people into buying it is cheap annoying if u try to find the original...

I find that all these fake versions have extremely similar drums and stuff... Still, this video gets played every time I go to YTube via home cinema... Always get a good laugh, haha.

But yes, um, I am very pleased I have the original copy of it, not one of these... Your voice beats everyithing they do!
