Porn Virus Blackmails Victims Over "Copyright Violation"
FishRep writes with this excerpt from the BBC: "A new type of malware infects PCs using file-share sites and publishes the user's net history on a public website before demanding a fee for its removal.
The Japanese trojan virus installs itself on computers using a popular file-share service called Winni, used by up to 200m people.
It targets those downloading illegal copies of games in the Hentai genre, an explicit form of anime.
Website Yomiuri claims that 5,500 people have so far admitted to being infected.
The virus, known as Kenzero, is being monitored by web security firm Trend Micro in Japan.
Masquerading as a game installation screen, it requests the PC owner's personal details.
It then takes screengrabs of the user's web history and publishes it online in their name, before sending an e-mail or pop-up screen demanding a credit card payment of 1,500 yen (£10) to 'settle your violation of copyright law' and remove the webpage."
The MAFIAA must be wondering why they haven't done this yet. "Why waste time in the courts guys? Why lobby politicians?"

Unless you're afraid of getting caught with porn...
If that porn involves schoolgirls getting raped by tentacles, then yes, I would be afraid of getting caught.

When will we grow beyond these terrible false negative stereotypes of the fine ancient tradition tentacle porn?
In the more refined examples of tentacle art (as this is its proper name), the school girls are graduate school girls and the tentacle monsters take the girls to dinner and drinks and spend many hours making clever observational comments in trendy downtown winebars before they even brave to invite them to their lair. And even then they fumble nervously around with their tentacles for at least an hour before the exasperated girl finally says that she is really tired from writing her thesis and if she could be brutally violated simultaneously in all possible ways with enormous tentacles, that would really be a change of pace.
Unless you think they abduct actual schoolgirls, and octopuses, to use them as models.
How about the calamari I can buy in the fish shop down the street. Will that do?
10 ?"Hello World" life was simple then
The editors figured out an easier way to get those all important dupes up?

Sounds like iTunes....
iTunes says "you're about to download a song from one of the artists we profit from and for $10 we'll remember everything about you"
I was actually wondering about this. Is it 200 millipeople or 200 meters of people?

"Kill 'em all and let Root sort 'em out"
Are you kidding? They're way ahead of us. The Australian government has actually taken the stance that unless you have big full breasts, you're not a real woman. I mean, damn. Setting up a whole generation of girls to feel inadequate. Nice.

In the future, tentacle monsters will sparkle.

I'm pretty sure Chris Hanson is behind it in some way.

So it only works on 90% of users.

You obviously didn't watch all the way to the end of the film.
For a real laugh, look for publicity photographs of Sen. Conroy, the politician pushing hardest for this law with his wife. Notice anything? Yup, she has quite small breasts meaning, according to the Senator's own words, that anyone attracted to her is a pedophile.
