RIAA fights back againts piracy by "spoofing"

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...2002Aug20.html


Here are some snippets:

"Spoofs are typically nothing more than repetitive loops or snippets filled with crackle and hiss, and thousands are now unwittingly downloaded every day from file-sharing services, like Kazaa and Morpheus, that sprang up after Napster's demise."

"The labels are also supporting a bill, now under consideration in Congress, that would make it legal to "impair the operation of peer-to-peer" networks, such as LimeWire. That could be done, for example, by overloading file-sharing services with so many requests that they slow to a crawl."

Anyone wanna take bets on how long it takes before our friends the hackers figure out a way to check for file integrity before download?

But what i really love is that they are making it legal to DoS file sharing site's. hahahaha!
