P2P Spam?

Sgt York writes "In a NYT article (republished in the Houston Chronicle, no subscription required) experts at CERT, F-secure, Trusecure, and the Hall of Justice (see article) think that SoBig.F is a spam scheme in the making. They say that SoBig.F is the 6th variant in an ongoing experiment with the possible goal of setting up a distributed spam network, to be rented out to the highest bidder. If that is their goal, they are well on their way. Another disturbing note in the article is that "In the case of four of the six programs, a new version was launched immediately after the self-timed expiration date of the preceding one". SoBig.F expires in two weeks. "

P2P spam : I confirm

I've d/led movies and when I play them, it says "this movie has been illegally copied. You must purchase the original movie at your local store.". Damn Hollywood studios, we didn't get that marketting crap with bootleg VHS tapes in the ole days ...
