Is this really the first time the RIAA has resorted to something such as this? You know, the sharing of bogus files to catch copyright infringers in the act? Like the previous poster before me mentioned, there are usually multiple versions of the copy of music/software on any given web site. The best advice I can offer is wait until there are many seeders and read the comments to make sure the file is indeed legitimate. How that torrent had 400 seeders is beyond me.
So what if the torrent is corrupted? It only takes a few hours to redownload it (usually). How much longer do you think it will be before they began attaching malicious code to these corrupted files? Maybe cut a deal with some big name anti-virus creators so they skip over that bit of code in the file? I think it's only a matter of time before they resort to that.
I say they just stick to threatening. It's worked fairly well (with the exception of one person) up until this point. |

| Now there is a thought, Olympic file shareing. The contest would be between teams from the various RIAA's, MPAA's types around the world, and P2P file sharers and hacker types. The rule would be something like track pursuit bicycling. The Bootleg teams would start out with the goal of downloading as many good files as possiable. While the objective of the Recording and movie industary teams would be to make things as hard a possiable for them to do this. Points would be rewarded for how artfully the Bootleg teams manuvered around the road blocks set by the recording/movie teams and the recording/movie industary types would get points for how well they slowed down the downloading, junk files installed, and how fast they where able to catch the bootleggers.
At last a Olyimpic sport for geeks, and Taylor Trolls to gain glory.
