Everyone here does know that torrents are used to distribute malware, often in oddball packages, such as movies that download "codecs" that are Trojans, right?
Everybody also knows that the copyright mafia hired companies to upload intentionally corrupted torrents with the names of popular torrent targets, right? I wonder if some copyright nazi had a brillant(1) idea of malware-laden torrents to make people not do it - and if so, is there an interesting class-action lawsuit just waiting to happen there?
