You could always create a worm that installs utorrent and starts downloading any popular file going.
Once the worm is in the field then how will they tell who are real pirates or hapless victims?
- roc 17y agoI think the more conscionable peaceful protest would be to wardrive around your town and download various torrents through any and all wifi APs that you can access. This wouldn't require violating anyone else's machines, but would have much the same effect. (presenting the ISP with the prospect of cutting off a huge percentage of their customers, i.e. revenue)
- Quarrelsome 17y agoYes but that requires serious logistics to do on a massive scale, furthermore peaceful was never a caveat. People are saying "what can we do? what power do we have?". As programmers we could do that. I'm not saying that is the right choice.
