The subject of DVD Decrypter would seem to tie in with an interesting phenomenon I have noticed on P2P Gnutella networks in the category of movies per file sharing. It would seem that a program containing a virus - trojan horse or various other types - can be found disguised under the title of nearly every major release movie title. These executable programs are fairly easy to identify - they are always between 200 to 300 KB in size, are always exe. programs rather than movie or avi files, and always are listed as T-1 or T-3 download speeds.

From what I understand about those particular download speeds, they involve large corporation networks rather than being for the average home PC user. I began at once to wonder exactly who, working with those high speeds, would want to go to the trouble of taking the time and expense involved in planting the viruses in so many file sharing networks - and always under major movie titles. Who would stand to gain by engaging in such a pastime? Who has the time using a corporate computer system to dally in the joyful contribution of virus-spreading throughout Gnutella clients? Who, indeed?

Suddenly after learning the fate of DVD Decrypter, it came to me. There IS a certain culprit who would have the motive, time, money, and means.

Enter the very same initially unnamed company that threatened legal action against the creator of DVD Decrypter, or similar counterparts? It certainly makes sense to me.Royopo 05:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Interesting, but what does this have to do with the related ImgBurn article? Please check the talk page guidelines. I propose to remove the above comment (and this one!). Jmc 03:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, the above is beside the point and bordering on libelous when unproven. This discussion should be archived, not deleted though. (There's enough self-censorship on this planet for everyone already.) 217.140.197.162 03:55, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
