It would be amusing to create very large files named Planet_of_the_Apes hosted on very slow servers ----servers slow enough to discourage actual downloaders, but existent enough to annoy Fox. 'Servers' includes numerous P2P tools, so you can do this at home.
Extra credit if the very large files are uniformly distributed noise.
Extra credit if the noise has the appropriate headers so it looks like a Divx or whatever is a plausible format.
trivial to accomplish, too. attached to this mail is an empty mpeg file (zipped). you can inflate it to any size you desire by doing (on Linux): unzip empty.zip dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1024 count=xxx >>empty.mpg where xxx is the number of KB you want to add. use 681574400 for 650 MB which is the size of a CD and would look very promising for a pirated movie.
