DoctorScooby's Journal: Busy Little Bee

Sorry I haven't posted recently, I've been hard at work undermining BitTorrent for our friends at the RIAA. I've managed to devise and implement a scheme whereby we dilute the Torrent world with crap. It was trivial to get around BT's "protection". We've posted Flashdance for all the nostalgic gays out there, but immediately after posting it, we switched out piece 666 with another one. This has the result of that piece not passing the check, EVER, which causes the unwary's BT to continually keep trying to get it until he's uploaded 50 Gigs and only downloaded one in a vain attempt to snag what doesn't exist. We popped up a few dozen seeds who showed 100% finished, but just kept dumping the bad piece out to the masses. This ought to drive them crazy.

This will vastly reduce the number of pirates using BitTorrent, which of course, is the way to kill it. And of course, the movie is watchable, but has glitches all the way through. This will drives sales in DVDs, since the piracy experience is rather inferior due to our interference, but is good enough to "whet their whistles".

I love it.

My former employers are using the same method to kill open-source, stealing one key developer after another to go work on proprietary software -- "cutting off their air supply", which is their developer base... that is one phase, some of the others being: destroying their reputation for security and stability; destroying the GPL in court and in the minds of developers; destroying RMS, Linus, ESR, and other zealots with personal attacks; improving their own closed-source offerings as fast as possible to make Linux irrelevent; if possible, to brand the GPL as un-American and have it banned; to write viruses and rootkits for Linux (I may be in on this one, there's been talk); to close hardware specs off from Linux devs; to use .NET and other verification means to ensure that Linux users will be marginalized and useless (ensuring dual-booting forever); and to increase the aggressiveness of the subliminal messages in their OSes in order to cement their already formidable userbases.

The Statute of Limitations is almost up, soon I will openly reveal some of the subliminals in Win95. Think "clouds".
