RIAA to DoS Pirates?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that-takes-balls dept.

_Chainsaw sent an article running at ZD that talks about the RIAAs latest plan to stop pirates: " We'll smother song swappers " is the quote, but it basically amounts to a Denial of Service. Way to go guys! Brilliant strategy!

    Those guys were a bunch of terrorists. Maybe the fed can detain them indefinitely. Put Valenti and Rosen in the cell next to Sklyarov...

    I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?

    Let me get this, you're going to request a file
    and then download it slowly, using very little
    bandwidth. The only way I see this hurting is
    if users only allow x number of transfers. As
    far as bandwidth, it wouldn't hurt much at all
    and by using up a slot and not using much
    bandwith it could speed up other transfers.
