Of course I've no proof, but in the 12 years I've run dedicated servers, I've always flown well enough under the radar to attract attention. The week my server is used publicly to put up some anti-piracy ideas, I get hit over the head with a concrete beam.
All I can assume is I pissed off some hard core pirates and this was their way of saying GFY.
So, beware folks. |
Wasn't there a ddos attack on some of the lawyers that were filing the DCMA torrent suits?

If everybody is using there own versions/parameters it makes it that much harder for the pirates to counter.

A few people from different parts of multiple industries with different backgounds can come up with some amazing concepts.
ps. I dropped you an email the other day with some more stuff to confuse you!
