Drive-by-downloadings

As far as I can tell, their program 'pretends' to be some other piece of non-legit software that warez dumpster-divers search around the 'net for. Doesn't do anything except show a 'gotcha' message.

Now, if they were sending that file into legit software distro channels e.g. masquerading as, say, a RedHat iso -- but surely the tiny filesize should make you suspicious -- maybe they'd run into trouble. Looks like they're only seeding warez p2p nets, which is what the RIAA says it did anyway.

For what it's worth... you get what you pay for

Nothing like a couple of script kiddies who pretend to have a conscience.

The only thing that will make their idiocy even more humorous is when they receive a cease and desist letter from some company for sharing cracks (or at least appearing to), or when their ISP pulls the plug on them for using P2P. Or better yet, when they anger another group of kiddies and revenge is taken. Personally, I'd like to see a group of swashbuckling kiddies show up on their doorstep to keel haul them

AFAIK script kiddies use other peoples programming skills and just click an exe file.
I wouldnt put these guys in that category since they are writing this themselves.

Either way they are not l33t for doing this. Someone needs to smack them silly. Plan and Simple.
