Start-ups try to dupe file-swappers. False versions of songs are turning up in file-swapping networks, thanks to new technologies designed to frustrate song-traders until they just log off. [CNET News.com]

It seems like a good idea to me, for the record labels to spoof the file sharing networks.  It seems fair, too.  Because when the file traders go onto the file sharing networks, they trade songs with complete strangers.

But it's not just that.  If the spoofing is effective at stopping the swapping of music files among complete strangers, then that may just satisfy the record labels.  Hopefully, that would put an end to all the draconian DRM schemes.
