in the article, they used Sheryl Crow's Soak Up The Sun as an example - so I figured I'd download it just to see how hard it was....

...and I got 5 good copies in about 5 minutes.

But it's interesting how they would have to execute this strategy...set up multiple user accounts on the P2P networks, with multiple libraries, with hard drives full of spoofs. The article reads like this stuff gets into the P2P networks and runs wild, but I don't see it happening like that. I would think, in most cases, the spoof would get no further than the first time it is d/l'd by any given user.


I think I'll join you in that beer, Nanook
