Ever clicked on a 'hot-link' in Slashdot or Digg and received a "webserver too busy" or "this webpage has exceeded its bandwidth quota" message?? Then you are all too familiar with the Slashdot or Digg effect. Flashback is our experimental web-server that is meant to address this problem using a unique approach. In Flashback, the browsers visiting the overloaded site are dynamically recruited into a P2P system to help share the load.

[...] Given the impact of this threat, the researchers developed a technique that prevents accurate classification by intelligently hiding user-intended downloading behavior in a cloud of random downloading.

Next month, New Zealand is scheduled to implement Section 92 of the Copyright Amendment Act.

The punishment - summary Internet disconnection.
