Default Seeding the Network with viruses

Sphinx

I do realise that the problems with viruses is due to negligent users not caring or watching what they upload onto the system.

However, have you ever wondered where those small files that can constantly change their names containing viruses come from, and the constantly rotating IP addresses that spawn these files, do you believe a hacker/cracker has the resources to set this kind of apparatus in motion, I personally don’t believe so.

Remember that RIAA paid cronies have already admitted that they have been paid to seed the P2P network with false files and it is not that far from “seeding with false files” to “seeding with false files containing viruses”.

So, whereas I agree that the RIAA are not personally damaging the P2P network with viruses I do believe, but cannot prove, that their cronies are doing it for them.

Sphinx, I know it is hard to prove a negative but I think that the increase in false files along with the concurrent increase in viruses is really too much to be a coincidence.
