Fight The Copyright Cartels!

[Jared Moya]

Problem

People like the riaa, mpaa, and others are on a copyright enforcing rampage, destroying innocent victims along the way. They are using automated tools (web spiders) to find people hosting 'illegal' content to sue. Sometimes the spiders catch innocent people in their web of evil.

 Solution
Since our politicians think the RIAA'a well-being is more important than ours, we must find a way to make the RIAA/MPAA's spiders too expensive to operate. Therefore our goals should be to: * Slow the spider down, or get it stuck in a loop * Provide soo many false positives, that sorting the actual infringers from the innocent is too expensive to allow the copywrong police to continue These things are what a 'honeypot', or 'tarpit' is designed to do. There are several available RIAA/MPAA spider trapping scripts currently available, but they all have unacceptable limitations (either requirements are too high, or they take an unacceptable toll on your server). What was needed was a script which could generate fake apache index pages, but with links to large files with copyrighted sounding names. The server operator should not have to have root, nor should it waste excessive disk space for the server operator, IE - the files should be generated by the script, and not actually stored on the servers disk. This is what DirIndexFaker does!

If everyone mirrored shares, it would be impossible to stop. The cartels worry most about easy search and download.

that's some serious bullshit. I wouldn't send those morons money if it was soulxtc's

there is no invasion of privacy in searching a public folder, and the "victims" are idiots. they know what they are doing, they are just stupid enough to think that someone else will get caught instead of them.

now, you can be a guinea pig for a new defense, the "i was running an index faker" but you'll still have to buy your own lawyer

I think Americans have more chances at writing RIAA/MPAA letters and calling them...

Ok, this is pretty stupid - since Napster 1.0 was released, people have used file sharing programs to download music, not a web browser. Maybe if this app was invented prior to 1999...
