I do not pretend to understand very much of the original post. The TorrentFreak "translation" did make it a bit more clear, but I'm pretty much boiling this down to, "somebody is trying to poison the Internet -- if not now, then sometime soon".

It's easy to forget how young a medium the Internet is and that there are going to be a lot of pitfalls along the way that we haven't begun to imagine. This seems to be one of those. I guess the question that I have is simple: what happens next?



Maybe the group will be discovered and shamed, maybe it won't. I'm guessing the vast majority of Bittorrent users will never be affected.
