im no expert at this, but to fake a hash, you would have to change something in the original content in such a way that it the changes counter balance eachother on the effect it would have on the hash, since i doubt each hash is truely unique (that wouldnt be possible since the hashes arent as big as the original files), so there has to be a file with a matching hash........
however, that file also has to be the same size........
plus since they use an alogrithm, to crack it, it would be like force cracking a password..... and take ALOT of tries......... i doubt its possible........
btw, i love the
BMG Finland is praising the technology for increasing their market share from 15% to 25%. Furthermore music protected by the service has stayed in the Finnish Top40 charts for an average of 14.5 weeks, where the average is just 8.7 weeks.
now if that isnt being creative with statistics? :P
what files will most likely be asked to be protected by record companies? the ones which make the big bucks........ now which records stay in the top 40 the longest? right, the ones that make the big bucks....... i bet that those averages for the same files wouldnt be any/much different if they werent protected :P
