Fondatorii The Pirate Bay au inventat atacul DDo$

In urma procesului de acum cateva luni, fondatorii The Pirate Bay au primit o amenda de 30 milioane SEK pe care nu vor sa o plateasca. In schimb, au incurajat utilizatorii sa transfere cate o coroana suedeza (1SEK, aprox. $0.13) in contul amenzii catre firma de avocatura care a reprezentat casele de discuri in procesul castigat.

Partea amuzanta este ca dupa 1000 de tranzactii, banca percepe o taxa de 2SEK pentru fiecare transfer, astfel firma de avocatura pierde in loc sa castige bani.

si de pe alt site:

Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Svartholm (aka anakata) received a bill for the 30 million SEK that he, along with Peter Sunde (aka brokep), Fredrik Neij (aka TiAMO ), and Carl Lundstrom, was fined in the verdict of the Pirate Bay trial just over three weeks ago. The bill inspired anakata to devise a plan involving sending money to Danowsky’s law firm, but not to pay the fine of course which they say will never be payed. Anakata’s clever plan is called internet-avgift, internet-fee in English. Anakata encourages all Internet users to pay extremely small sums around 1 SEK (0.13 USD) to Danowsky’s law firm, which represented the music companies at the Pirate Bay trial. The music companies will not benefit from this, instead it will cost them money to handle and process all the money.
The plan can be called a Distributed Denial of Dollars attack (DDo$). The plan is an away-from-keyboard DDoS attack. DDoS attacks involve lots of users overloading the victim with internet traffic damaging their ability to provide services. Money, instead of Internet traffic is used in this case. The victim is Danowsky’s law firm which represented the IFPI at the Pirate Bay trial.
A friend of anakata told Blog Pirate that the bank account to which the payments are directed has only 1000 free transfers, after which any transfers have a surcharge of 2 SEK for the account holder. Any internet-fee payments made after the first 1000, which includes the law firm’s ordinary transfers, will instead of giving 1 SEK, cost 1 SEK to the law firm.
Since Danowsky & Partners Advokatbyrå is a small firm, all the transactions are handled by hand. Handling all payments will be time consuming, costing the law firm in productivity. Maybe it will even affect their success in other cases.
Additionally if after paying the internet-fee you determine that your payment was erroneous, Swedish law states that you can request the money back, putting an additional load on Danowsky’s law firm.
