bittorrent DoS problems = busy night for the RIAA


January 17th, 2008

Since news hit the wire today that some versions of µTorrent and the official BitTorrent clients are vulnerable to DoS attacks, I’m sure the RIAA and their lackeys have launched a massive campaign to try and turn off users’ clients, even if only for a little while. Since many people run seedboxes, this could pose a problem.

This could pose a problem in the long run, too. Am I the only one to believe the RIAA will eventually start trying to corrupt trackers and/or clients? Since they seem to be losing legal battles, at some they might decide it’s more effective to find vulnerabilities and other problems and so disrupt the usage of p2p software altogether.

Anything goes, as long as it is in English (proper, if possible). Try to keep the conversation civil, in the interest of Ideas.
