"But, there are more attack vectors than that. Such as a problems with the implementation of the libs that read jpg's/png's/etc and various movie formats. So, how exactly are most/all people going to be able to analyse the files before playing? They won't b/c they aren't aware of any problems b/c the vast majority of people don't know what security is never mind keeping track of vulnerabilities. Never mind that such tools rarely exist for anywhere near current exploits."

Happens all the time. Go to piratebay or isohunt. they will tell you in 5min of uploading that a file is fake, infected, or misnamed.....Don't no how. I have been warned of bad files daily and have never gotten any spyware or viruses because of it....

Where to start?

Firstly, if you were to put gay porn on a torrent, the first person who downloaded it would report that to the tracker and anyone smart enough to read the notes before downloading a large file would know that it was gay porn almost immediately after you did it, and those who didn't diserve what they get.

Secondly, what you're talking about doing is a failed scam that the RIAA, MPAA and record companies have already tried and failed to carry out to protect their content. Trust me man... they have a lot of high paid thinkers in those organizations and you're not the first person to think about this. If it could be done, you would have downloaded gay porn when you downloaded that pilot episode of Battlestar.

Thirdly, there are a LOT of people who cannot afford to buy TV shows on DVD and TV and nothing you can do will EVER convince them to pay for things they can get for FREE, save serious prison time or casturation. Then you're talking about real "butt-lovin" prison time or sueing somebody into poverty for morale crimes which ultimately hurt no-one, not to mention all of the illegal search and seizures which will be taking place in people's houses while they're not at home, thus raising our taxes to pay for more police manpower to get that job done. If you steal a loaf of bread, the loaf of bread is gone. If you "steal" a movie or a TV show, it's just a bunch of "1s" and "0s" on your harddrive and there's nobody in showbusiness that's starving (at least the successful ones behind anything that you could ever care to download in the first place). I really tired of Lars's fat old has-been rockin' ass complaining about people downloading his lame old Metallica songs quickly when Ben Fold's Five were giving their songs away on their website at the same time.

And lastly, with all due respet to all of you, may I say that you sound like a member of the RIAA or the MPAA yourself... as do all of the people in here that agree with you on this issue. Were you all rooting for the Alliance the whole time you were watching the show, or is it just that when you leave Neverland you become a capitalistic pig authoritarian rat-fink-do-gooder again?

The only reason you're paying $9.99 per CD this Christmas on average is because of the so called "criminals" who have left the behemoth record companies no choice but to lower their prices to be competetive with FREE. Anyone over 18 should remember days before Napster when CDs cost $17 - $25 /pc. Remember that the next time you're so quick to judge what somebody else does.

"Piracy" will never end as long as there is criminal capitalistic conglomerates controlling the content that happen to have the criminal Legal System and criminal Government backing them. The American Government, in particular, is the largest organised crime we've ever seen as a race, and all too soon I'm afraid, NATO will be even larger.

No matter what they do, they will never stop the signal. I know you feel you have a crusade here to save the movie, on this particular issue you are sorely misdirected. Besides, I think they've whored us out quite long enough. It's time for them to put out a new BDM or for Joss to come out himself and say something once and for all and stop stringing us along. We diserve that after what they've been doing to the 3rd party vendors who were recently turned on and crushed for doing the very thing they were encouraged to do before the first BDM came out. It doesn't seem as though any of the actors are wasting any time finding other projects.

I don't care how somebody got the show or the movie, if it touched their lives and spoke to them the way that it did to me, that's what really matters.

And may they pass that on to someone else who needs hope that maybe there is a way to coexist with the Alliance without being completely absorbed by them. And don't come back to me about the Alliance not being real. If you can't see the parallels in real life today th

That was a nice little time capsule from 18 years ago.
