See. Most newer songs are recorded in dolby surround sound (5.1).
I even downloaded some songs that I know were recorded with 6 channels.

No, they are real.
There are some upconverted flacs of course (usually from one-day no-name "labels"), but it is smth around 3-5% of all content. Flacs from big labels are real lossless.
To check you could use simple programm auCDtect Task Manager (google it), it was created to catch fake cds (made from mp3) and it works with flacs too. Try download flacs and 320 mp3s, upconvert mp3s to flac and compare results: real flacs will be in green and fake flacs in red.
