Comments on: Cleaning spam from swapping networks

Researchers think computers that "gossip" with each other are key to filtering out ads--and piracy-fighting decoys--on P2P networks.

This sounds like a good program

Pretty Soon, they will get sued

If the program works as well as they claim it does, they will undoubtably be sued by the RIAA and MPAA. Just another victim of corporate America waiting to be silenced. This sadly will become just another example of intellectual property rights trumping and stifling inovation.

Stop Overpeer

Protowall and Blocklist Manager are pretty effective at stopping Overpeer and similiar idiots. Edonkey also can detect most fakes by comparing the users filename to the file hash. If there is a different filename on the same hash, the file is possibly fake. Fakes on edonkey are usually porn and all you have to do is open the sources to see the different filenames. It's pretty easy.

We should get our ISP's to block Overpeers IP addresses, now THAT would solve a lot of problems.
