RIAA/MPAA Contractor Hides Malicious Adware Trojans in Microsoft Media Files! This is disgusting and stupid. The same record industry fascists who have recently been sueing users for downloading music have now ganged up with a simularly pathological group from the movie industry to hire a company called 'Overpeer'. Their job will be to purposely infect unsuspecting users' computers with virus-like trojans and spyware in order to punish any citizens who think that they actually have any rights left. This can be done because Microsoft Media Player apparently allows such evil nasties to download along with a document. Now, if your kid decides to use a PC at the office to download a song, your entire business can be infected -legally - and that's just too bad for you. I think its about time to boycott Microsoft. The whole dirty story can be read at : http://p2pnet.net/story/3421 9:04:10 AM    comment []
