Finnish Firm Claims Fake P2P Hash Technology

From Slashdot: Finnish Firm Claims Fake P2P Hash Technology

An anonymous reader writes “As reported by The Inquirer, a Finnish company known as Viralg Oy claim to have developed software that can create a junk file with the same hash as a genuine p2p download. This, according to the company, can altogether stop the sharing of copywritten files by flooding p2p networks with corrupt/junk data, which then spreads through the network, causing less and less of the original file to be available. However, with the resolve of the p2p userbase, is this software really going to ‘beat all Peer 2 Peer pirates at their own game,’ or simply prove a minor annoyance?”

yeah right, like that is going to work 4 a long time …
E.g. some bittorrent sources do content checking already …
