The song was in a hidden file on Nico Nico Douga (Nico Video) and he stole it as he found it. There ate several songs he stole under the similar vein. The thing they all had in common was they were unknown songs from unheard of producers, that were either in hidden folders or buried deep on the website. Since no one knew where these songs came from, no one suspected the producer had stolen them from other artists. They were all not-so-popular too. The lid was blown off when Secret randomly got popular and revealed what was going on.

The irony is, if not for the original thief, Secret wouldn't have been so popular as it is, so the action sky rocketed this song to fame. The other songs that were stolen are not famous and never got the same treatment and at this point... I wouldn't be able to say what they were. The other thing is, had Secret not randomly got famous, the producer who stole it and the other songs wouldn't have been found out for some more time.

This randomly goes on in Nico video and people do steal others work. IT doesn't tend to happen too often, but it does go on. Japan isn't so keen to do this sort of thing and its not like the re-uploaders in the western fandom who re-upload videos of producers often without permission. But things like this still go on. The backlash from incidents like this is worst in the Japanese fandom then overseas and is a real carer ender at times.

aRTH didn't seem to write a lick of his own works.
