that is asking for tyrouble because what is to keep someone from setting up a bank or something by planting a p2p program on a bank’s servers or even the servers of the japanese version of the stock exchange and bring down the economy.

it is probably a terrorist trying to extort moneo or something

I hope whoever made this is found out and has a DDOS attack on his ass! Mabye if he had his whole hard drive wiped he would think again about trying to scare kids with this stupid nonsense.

But I also think lawsuits are probably comming so if someone does not get this guy one way it will probably be the other.

@ meyou123

I hope so…..its clearly targeted at little kids….now Ive seen copyright holders do some f-d up stuff but this has got to take the cake. Its like some “scared Straight” series gone sadistic.

Telling a kid “you’re going to kill them and/or call the cops on them using their favorite comic book characters is just flat out wrong pure and simple.

I doubt the copyright holders are behind this if they are they’ve opened themselves up to some serious liability for distributing a trojan and doing damage to files. Then there is making threats like “Iam going to kill you. It’s illegal in the most modern countries (U.S Japan Canada and most of Europe) to knowingly distribute such software. So yeah I serious doubt a content owner was behind it unless they’re completely stupid and completely ignore their legal staff.

I don’t think it was the media mafia that did this though I seriously doubt they dissaprove of it either…..with some of the tact they have shown in the past I would not be suprised if they gave this guy a pat on the back!
