The plan, already implemented, is to flood file sharing systems with bogus files or broken files. The solution, not yet implemented, is to attach digital signatures to files, and have the file sharing software recognize certain signatures as good or bad.

This is completely unnecessary if you address the document with a cryptohash. An URI like http://localhost:4711/f70539bb32961f3d7dba42a9c51442c1218a9100 can only adress a particular document.

And then the hollywood hackers flood the system with bogus descriptions of the content identified by the crypto hashes. We still need to implement a reputation system against a hollywood hacker attack, even if we address content by cryptohash, as indeed we should. --digsig James A.
