Many media companies are paying big money to try and stop file sharing of copyrighted material. While the material in question is being shared illegally, many of the techniques these companies employ effect everyone by generating much additional internet traffic.

While I’ve been sitting at home, sick for the last few days, I’ve been trying to keep my mind at least somewhat sharp by watching some light videos here and there. The usual stuff, some TED, some 30 Rock, and I came across this gem I thought many people on this list might be interested in:

See the links at the bottom for presentation materials including a PDF, video, and analysis of actual targeted exploits. I highly recommend the video, the torrent was extremely fast.
Enjoy :-)
