Some of the world's biggest record companies, facing rampant online piracy, are quietly financing the development and testing of software programs that would sabotage the computers and Internet connections of people who download pirated music, according to industry executives.
The record companies are exploring options on new countermeasures, which some experts say have varying degrees of legality, to deter online theft: from attacking personal Internet connections so as to slow or halt downloads of pirated music to overwhelming the distribution networks with potentially malicious programs that masquerade as music files.
thease idiots have no idea :lol:

All I have to say is they won't get very far using those tactics as sabotaging the computers and Internet connections of people who download pirated music is Illegal since we pay for a service from our ISP's.
I read somewhere that they were also looking into something that would 'temporary' freeze or lockup your computer.
If they went ahead they would be violating our rights!

Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.

How exactly could they sabotage your computer and connection?? I wouldn't worry about the malicious programs because they would be stopped by antivirus shortly (if the music industry is not in league with the virus protection industry) ;)
