Write a batch file that reboots your computer, "clicks" on the fucking ads, sends $$$ credit to our developer friends...repeat this over and over again ad infinitum!
If Linux required so few reboots as to NOT be in the advertisers' best interests for advertising.
What great PR! You can bet that the/. community would be all over that.
Why would he need to pass a bill for that? I don't remember it being against the law to be deceptive on P2P...(I'm not being sarcastic here, I'm seriously interested in knowing why he'd need laws passed for this?)
I thought this was already legal. In fact, I thought it was already employed by artists.
DMCA = use technology to pirate copyrighted works, break the law
This = use technology to stop people from pirating copyrighted works, be a good citizen
Just because a technology exists to "stop people from pirating pirated works" does NOT necessarily warrant its use. (If that was the case, then why don't we just drop a nuclear bomb on those suspected of infringing on copyrighted works?)
Someone posts the IP addresses of the "legit hackers" on the web? You can bet that all the script kiddies will come out of the woodwork then...
As for the dummy files, what about a system that allows people to A) vouch for their songs, and B) give an MD5 hash?
Sure...pass this stupid bill; the ramifications will be FAR worse. You cut off one head of this monster, and 10 heads will grow in its place.
Instead of passing this shit, why not give people an INCENTIVE for buying the cds (like free coupons, chance to meet the band, concert tickets, login to their website, etc.)
If bandwidth is very limited, make sure people understand that their connection will be cut off if they use up more than fair share of the bandwidth.
There are all sorts of Internet throttling software solutions out there you might want to check into. With some you can put weighted percentages/priorities on certain types of traffic.
Be sure to segment the network properly. Put everything important on a separate subnet. In fact, even better if you can PHYSICALLY segment it completely! Maybe buy a separate DSL line to be used for these library visitors (something I'd really push for). Then create a separate LAN that is not connected to anything important on the other side.
If you're in that general area, go to Bryce Canyon and Zion. Beautiful rock sculptures are a hell of a lot better than having PORN shoved in your face on the strip.

Have you checked Netflix's anime section? What about other DVD mailers?

They already do this.
I tried to download Rush's Vapor Trail album but just got a bunch of garbage.
I suspect that individual artists and companies already do this.

How has Google remained competitive?
Almost as funny as a bumper sticker I saw in Utah.
