Trojan Found At Torrent Sites Insists "Downloading Is Wrong"
NoisySplatter writes "Ernesto, founder of TorrentFreak, reports that a new trojan, 'Troj/Qhost-AC,' has been distributed on The Pirate Bay. The virus was disguised as a serial key generator, and the offending torrent has since been removed, but the source has not been identified. Troj/Qhost-AC makes changes to the user's hosts file that redirects The Pirate Bay, Suprbay, and Mininova to 127.0.0.1. In addition to making three popular torrent sites inaccessible, the virus also plays a sound file that says: 'downloading is wrong.' It looks like someone has finally stepped up to the plate to challenge Madonna for the title of 'Most Obnoxious Anti-Piracy Stunt.' Of course, this could just be the software industry's attempt at outdoing the RIAA and MPAA."
The only seed I ever want to hear about again is when I plant my vegetable garden in the spring, good night.
Stud dogs go about the whole sex thing rather differently than primates (or equines). Unlike us, male canines don't have an orgasm that involves a short, intense ejaculation. Instead, once they have become fully erect, they will have a continuous orgasm for from 10 to 45 minutes or longer. The "standard" procedure for dogs, when they are mating, is that the male "ties" with the bitch - which means that, after he has penetrated fully, his penis will develop a knot at its base that is several times wider than the rest of his shaft.
For reference, a 80 pound Golden stud dog might have, let's say, a cock that is 7 or 8 inches long when erect - but his knot will be at least as big around as a tennis ball. This knot swells inside the bitch, and so long as he remains erect the dogs are "tied." No, this isn't painful for her - canine females long ago developed an entire set of muscular supports for this process. Generally, once they are tied, most stud dogs prefer to step off and over, so he and the bitch are tail-to-tail. Theories abound on why this evolved - I have yet to see one that was truly convincing. Anyway, they'll stand like this, with the male having a continuous orgasm during the whole tie - until he starts to shrink and they pop apart. Bitches also have orgasms, and she'll likely have quite a few during the tie, as well - research has shown that her orgasms are essential to increasing the chances of pregnancy, due to muscular contractions.
Anyway. if a guy like me has a stud dog partner, one form of intimacy is for him to tie with us, anally. As young teenagers, many of us learned the hard way about the knot, and the tie - particularly back in pre-interweb days. So we'd suddenly find ourselves locked together, with this tennis-ball width cock inside us. Nowadays, I suspect most young zoos know all about this. However, some folks still have eyes bigger than their stomach, err their you-know-what.
It would not be accurate to say that I have a stream of visitors who show up at my house just for sex with my canine partners. However, it is true that I do not exercise any sort of unilateral control/ownership over the relationships my canine boys might develop with other people - they are adults, and if they desire to get frisky with another two-legger and I judge that the person is respectful and unlikely to do anything mean or stupid, I have no moral ground on which to say "oh, no, you aren't allowed - he can only have sex with me." That just makes no sense, so if there's a time when a friend is visiting and there's a spark between them and one of my partners, I'm ok with that. In truth, I think it's great to have the boys' enjoy other positive relationships and I love to see them happy, whatever the circumstances.
Many years ago, my friend Commander Taco was visiting - a zoo who had been active with his own stud dog for quite a few years. His boy was a breed that is not small, but is also somewhat known by old-school zoos as being, well, on average not so well-endowed relative to their body size. This friend had tied with his partner on a number of occasions - and he often talked about how intense and rewarding the experience was, for both of them. That's great, I said - while thinking that he'd probably not fare so well with a larger breed.
As it turns out, Taco and one of my canine friends hit it off quite clearly right from the get-go - the chemistry was there and the two of them seemed like they'd known each other for ages. After several visits, I could see that they were sort of getting closer and closer - my friend Taco was worried that I'd feel he was somehow intruding into my relationship with this handsome stud dog - who had been in my own family for close to a decade. Of course not, I told him - if you guys hit it off and things get steamy, I'd hardly throw cold water on it just so I can be all possessive and insecure. HOWEVER, I warned him, that handsome boy with whom you're making goo-goo eyes is much bigger than your own long-time partner.
I tried to be nice about this
I sat naked on the bench in the health club locker room, staring at the tiles on the floor between my feet, but really looking at nothing. I was waiting for Jamal to decide to come up ant talk to me. He was this muscular teenage nigger who frequented the club and had ruined my life in the last few weeks. I was ordered to sit naked on the bench without a towel or anything to cover my nakedness. I had to keep my legs spread and my cock and balls visible for the anyone In the locker room who wanted a look. I knew instantly that it had been a mistake to sign up at the inner city health club which was eighty percent black, but It was near my house and cheap which was even more important.
The harassment had started on my first visit. Dark skinned, muscular black boys bouncing around the locker room with their huge dicks and pendulous sacks of balls swinging, high fiving each other and laughing and rapping, and there I was, this moderately built white guy of thirty two.
I will never forget coming back from the shower and one chocolate skinned thug of about eighteen let out a "weeeeeeeow" kind of sound and then said very loudly to me, loudly enough for all his pals to hear, "White man, how the hell can you fuck wit such a small dick?" They all roared with laughter and I turned bright red. Before I left that first time, I med Jamal. He eased up to me while I was packing my gym bag. He is one good looking darkie, I will say that for him. He flashed me a big white toothed smile and said he hoped I wasn't thinking of quitting the club. He said he was friends with the manager and they had my address and shit, and it would be really unfortunate if I decided to quit. Then he laid one large basketball player sized hand on my shoulder and said that he would see me at the same time the next day.
Well, that's how it started. It got worse each time I went to the club. Jamal and the other niggers got me to get towels for them, had me scrub their backs in the shower, even made me pick their dirty stinking jock straps up off the floor. They sent their filthy jocks and socks home with me to wash for them.
Now let me state here once and for all, that I am in no way at all gay. I don't think I ever even had a gay thought. So all of this really repulsed me. They would brush up against me so their big fat black dicks rubbed my body. They would make constant jokes about me being a faggot.
So I had it out with Jamal. I told him I was a single parent with a thirteen year old daughter and in no way gay, and I wanted to quit the club. That mention of my daughter was the biggest mistake of my life. Jamal demanded to see a photo of her. Her name is Crissy. After that, all they talked about was "Crissy the Cunt" in the locker room.
"Some fourteen year old school boy probably shoving his dick in her right now while you is at da club."
They would say things like that. Jamal would ask, "Do you suppose she had ever sucked black dick?" I told them she was totally innocent, and they should keep their foul mouths to themselves. They beat the shit out of me.
I didn't go to the club for a week. All the windows were broken on my car, and my newspaper was stolen, and somebody pissed all over our door. I received a package at work, and when I opened it, there was a pile of shit in a box. I was going nuts with anguish. I thought of going to the police, but I knew I would face even worse if I did. So I went back to the club. That was two months ago. A lot had happened in those two months.
Now I sat waiting for Jamal to speak with me. He walked up, stark naked. The first thing I saw were his huge brown feet next to me. I looked up at his long muscular legs. How could I miss the seven inch flaccid dick, thick as a flashlight and the ball sack that looked like it had oranges in it. It was fucking obscene. His stomach was hard and tight. His ass was one of those round tight nigger bubble butts. His chest well defined with large nipples. He had a killer smile, thick nigger lips, and dark flashing eyes that often looke

Waaaa, poor little thieving kiddies getting bitchslapped, what a tragedy.
See, in slashdot's fucked-up universe, my post gets branded 'troll' for asking a simple question while yours gets modded as 'insightful' for calling my proposal 'illegal', which it isn't (i can certainly put whatever software that i own the rights to on p2p file sharing networks -- or, at least, what i am proposing here falls well within those bounds). immoral and unethical? Please explain to me how it is. really.. i dont see it at all. To answer some of the other repliers here: 1. yes, i am the boss and owner 2. yes, our software costs $10,000+ furthermore, yes, we do have thousands of legitimate users. those who pirate our stuff tend to be businesses in china and elsewhere who can in theory afford the software. there's absolutely no chance that a legitimate user would go looking for it on a p2p network, since every legitimate user has a rep that he can call, plus 24/7 access to support. and if somebody repackages our malware as linux-iso or somesuch (as you said - again, you failed to read my post), they certainly wouldn't run it three times and makes the mistake. it would be obvious that they were not running linux-iso at that point. at any rate, if somebody does that, any 'immorality' (if you want to call it that) is clearly at that person's feet just as if somebody took a piece of adult material and put it on a children's website.
I have no contract or agreement whatsoever with those 'strangers', and furthermore given the warnings that i said we'd include in our material and the fact that the 'damage' we'd cause is purely virtual, that few judges would view our response as anything but justified. IANAL, but in the country where my country is based, there is a much less pussified view of the rights of criminals, especially here.
this is not shooting a criminal with a shotgun connected to a tripwire - this is just doing something to his PC. there is a big difference, and people (in this thread) who try to equate the two need to step away from the keyboard for a few hours per day. In other words, I strongly suspect that our response would meet the standard of 'proportional and appropriate response', if not in the USA, then at least here.
that also said, i say what i say with the full knowledge that i'd open myself to suits by legitimate customers who might be hurt by such a scheme, and, given the nature of our software and customers, let's say this is a risk i'll happily take. again, i don't want to tell you exactly what we do, but i'll draw a parallel product - highly complex statistical analysis for some back-end accounting. if the instinct of a serious customer of ours' tech guy is to run to a p2p site to download a replacement copy of the software which they get on disc, have the right to access via our secured website, have 24/7 tech support access to, and so forth, then that tech guy's the one who is the idiot. this is not 'EA sports NHL 2009' we're talking about here.
Furthermore (responding to other posts here), i'm actually quite sure that our existing customers would be happy if we included such provisions. what do you call somebody who pays a lot of money for software that others get for free? a sucker. nobody wants to be a sucker - certainly not our customers.
So what if instead of a re-direct it phones home to the BSA with your IP and intended software.
Get a country wide 'search warrant' so the above is admissible in court ...
Arrest 100000's of people and remove all their rights.
Black list these 10000's of people and create new democratic voters living on handouts.

Far out. I'll slap the next person who tells me Unix is hard to use, if that's Microsoft's idea of user-friendliness.
Right. Because you were born with the knowledge to know that rw below is for the owner of the file, the middle r is for the group owning the file and the last r is for everyone else. Quit acting like Linux is easy just because you know it better. You aren't born with the knowledge of understanding Linux file permissions just as you aren't born knowing how to understand Windows ACLs. For that matter, at least Windows has ACLs compared to Linux in this example. Any Windows Administrator is going to know what BUILTIN\Users and BUILTIN\Administrators means as well as the hidden NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM UPN.

The funny thing is that the only other people that seem to be able to act like that and get away with it are governments. So if you are not the government or Big Entertainment you go straight to Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison when you do act like them. Isn't that just hilarious?
no.
not only is time travel possible, it's irrelevant.
