    Warez servers are often hacked/weak passworded ftp hosts (usually but not exclusively IIS) that accept FXP. The amount of traffic the warez consumes is often a small proportion of the overall traffic of the server.

    Thus DDoS'ing the warez server is going to have the effet of taking a legitimate host off the net, albeit one (unknowingly) facilitating copyright infringement.

    Which could have the effect of costing the legitimate company hundreds if not thousands of $ in bandwidth fees.

    Perhaps Microsoft should DDoS the USPTO so that mail carriers struggle under the barrage of parcels so that cdrom can't get through on 0-day.

    The story of the lightbulb also incorporates a tale of success for the patent system.

    Edison used existing patents to avoid dead end research.

    He pre-announced the vaporware lightbulb before he had even got anywhere near completing his research.

    He also sued Swan for patent infringment, despite Swan's patent being granted 1 year prior to Edisons. The two of them decided to join forces instead of continued litigation and became the world's leading suppliers of lightbulbs.

    So, the world benefitted from the patent system and it's litigating participants because eventually common sense prevailed.

    Thematically, Doom was viewed as 'Aliens' meets 'Evil Dead 2'.

    * John Carmack

    There is a scene in 'The Color of Money' where Tom Cruise shows up at a pool hall with a custom pool cue in a case. 'What do you have in there?' asks someone. 'Doom.' replied Cruise with a cocky grin. That, and the resulting carnage, was how I viewed us springing the game on the industry.

    * John Carmack on why the game was named "Doom"

    The game was called "Doom: Evil Unleashed" in early builds

    "Evil Dead" is also why Duke Nukem utters the awesome : "Come get some!"

    If you need a certified monitor then you can't play your premium content out to an monitor emulator for recording the video signal to rip content to strip the DRM.

    Kind of like how now I can play my DRM'd music through my lineout and record it on line-in in any format I choose.

    It will be like DeCSS all over again but this time instead of DVD players it will be monitors.
