DoS attacks gone wrong

Over the weekend, Revision3 suffered an illegal and illegitimate denial of service attack for running a valid bittorrent tracker they use to distribute their own content.

At what point does the MPAA/RIAA simply go to far?  This seems to have been an illegal attack by a company hired by the MPAA/RIAA to take down illegal bittorrent tracking sites.  However, it looks like they focused their DoS servers at a legitimate site that ended up costing Revision traffic (i.e. $$$$).

As someone that has been responsible for running some popular public sites, it is difficult enough to fend off all of the spammers and botnet attacks.  It is considerably more difficult to fend off a well funded company designed for just such attacks, with the technical wherewithal to make it hurt.

I hope Revision3 gets some satisfaction out of this incident, and this sort of practice remains in the realm of illegal activities, no matter who is controlling the purse strings and lawyers.

Engaged, mistress and married

Three women: one engaged, one married and one a mistress, are chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men. That night all three will wear black leather bras, stiletto heels and a mask over their eyes.  After a few days they meet up for lunch.

The engaged woman: The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me andsaid, ‘You are the woman of  my life. I love you.’ Then we made love all night long.

The mistress: Me too! The other night I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather bodice, heels, mask over my eyes and a raincoat.  When I opened the raincoat he didn’t say a word, but we had wild sex all night.

The married woman: I sent the kids to stay at my mother’s house for the night. When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, blackstockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes. As soon as he came in the door and saw me he said, ‘What’s for dinner, Batman?’

Thanks, Jeff!
