Beating Napster at its own game?

Another company that has a solution to beat piracy on the web. This time they think the solution has to be found in TECHNOLOGY, wow what a discovery !


How? MediaDefender claims the answer lies in "spoofing," a method in which a peer-to-peer entertainment network is flooded with fake files of a certain title. If an end user tries to download that title, he receives a "spoof" that has the same title as the requested song or video, but actually contains a message warning the user that he has attempted to break copyright law.

These guys are planning to offer files to download, and these files are not what they look like. This is called spoofing. It sounds like a solution, but damn, how lame !
