SIlly, but intruiging.

The motive behind this is something I agree with, but on the other hand I do consider it wasted time.

However, their site lists who ran the program, when it was run, what it was named, the users' IP, yadda yadda. I think such information is quite interesting to see, since based upon the time of fetch, you can get an idea of how something quickly can spread, regardless of how silly or pointless it may be.

With that said, I've got to give these two blokes kudos for at least doing something that's silly but intriguing to boot.

If its collecting information then it looks like SPYWARE to me. It's waste of time and serves no real purpose. Who knows what data does it send besides ip location etc.? I never seen the program but it would be interesting to packet sniff it. It also floods p2p networks with useless crap. Looks like those guys are out looking for publicity.
