The reason I ask this is due to this article which this site is mentioned ... TBH the difference between a real and lazy journalist is the effort and content that goes into the article they are writing .
That article would of been relevant circa 2000. Ghost writing at least in dance music is really not the problem it used to be. Sure people are doing things with other people's help but they are usually getting credit for it. And the whole thing about grammy nominated artists using ghost writers. Again, they aren't publicized but all those hired guns are credited because they are relevant enough to not only get money up from but royalties from the back end which kinda requires a name.
PErsonally don't really see the issue as long as you are crediting the person and they aren't being ed over. The only big dj that still tried to do that albeit in another genre was Okenfoald and he was an industry running gag up to this day. He tried to do film scoring but as you know, his only talent is ingesting cocaine and ghost writing is kinda passe; Now, if you want a credit without doing anything, the term is executive producer but that is a film tv thing.

No surprise there. He's talking about how the article in question cites a TA thread as a source.
Paradox Lost
I don't think this author is attempting to cite the forum post referenced as evidence to support any particular claim, as she immediately goes on to acknowledge them as merely rumors. I think she's simply attempting to emphasize how widely circulated these rumors happen to be, and the extent of whom they concern- hardly relying on TA as 'Gospel truth.'
Besides, don't a lot of these acts go on to mention these so-called ghost writers in the liner notes? Like in Airdrawndagger? If so, then I don't think they can be reasonably referred to as 'ghost writers,' even if they receive little to no credit in the public's eye.

I don't consider colossal stupidity to be a disorder.

What about Parkinson's? Because a Parkie writing in longhand would be more coherent than whomever wrote that piss poor article.
They could also get jiggy with it.

In a sense, ghost DJing is a loose concept, encompassing the engineering and composition a DJ’s track may have to full-on creation.
So I guess we're talking about "ghost DJing" now, too. But what exactly is a "ghost DJ?" Is that the real DJ who makes the mix CD that another dude plays as he mimes behind the CDJs?

^ I refuse to believe that performance was done in seriousness.
The woman doesn't even have a mic. Looks more like a parody than a fail.
