RE: [microsound] spoofing (redux)

[Richard Costelloe <rcostelloe@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have one or two Radiohead tracks (hi Thom!), courtesy of 
Limewire that have small glitches. The noise may be implanted, 
but is not disruptive enough to make me suspect RIAA intervention... 
(or maybe my threshold for noise is higher than what they would
expect?? Plus, it's Radiohead, so who knows?) 

On the side, I have noticed while searching for various
titles that several IP's will return a string of false positives, such as: 
alanlamb.mp3, alanlamb.mpg, alanlamb.htm, alanlamb.vbs, etc... which are
all quite small and all quite infected with a variety of malicious worms/virii. 
This works consistently for any number of searches and seemingly only 
from a small number of IP's (obviously running a mildly intelligent script.) 

This strikes me as a much more effective and likely info-warfare tactic over 
implanting glitches and so on, but also assumes some level of competency 
and intelligence on behalf of the RIAA & Co... : )

any success finding spoofed files anyone?
I dl'ed about 20 top-ten hits from Kazaa, and not one was spoofed. Well,
some of them were not full tracks, but no noise, glitches , whatever...
