Novel Attack on Illegal Tubes, Forums & Upload Sites
I'd like to put forth a hypothetical.
How would tubes, forums and file sharing sites deal with a swamp of uploads to tubes and filesharing sites of popular video titles that were corrupt ?
The idea is simple, grab your popular porn video titles, make the first and last 10 minutes look ok and then randomly intersperse shampoo and toothpaste commercials at random intervals at a great enough frequency to make the title unwatchable.
Consider a room full of Indians in Mumbai all with VPN access swamping tubes, forums and file upload sites with these poisoned files. I don't mean a few hundred, I mean tens of thousands.
How would tubes, forums and file upload sites deal with this ? They would be forced to undertake editorial control and thus lose their protection under DMCA.
For those outside the scope of US laws anyway, this would cause a major headache, hurting the business model somewhat.
Discuss.
