Pirate Bay founders invent the DDo$ Attack
at 5/11/2009 07:30:00 AM

Well I have to admit that this is genius. The guys from the Pirate Bay have a a 30million SEK fine which they say they won't pay. However they have come up with a plan where all their users can join in which works like this.

Everyone sends a small amount of money in an electronic transfer to the law firm that represented the music industry. Suggested amount is 1 SEK (equivalent to 0.13 USD. Apparently the law firms bank account is only allowed 1000 electronic transactions before it starts to cost them, the account holder money.

The charge per transfer at this point is, wait for it... 2 SEK. Thus after the first 1000 SEK, if people send just 1 SEK it will cost the law firm more than the money they receive to process.

Welcome to the Distributed Denial of Dollars attack (DDo$)
Could this actually work? If so its a great bit of thinking.

A great bit of immature, anti-social, anarchist, "stick it to the man" thinking.

What, now companies charge the receiver for received payments?  Surely they'd be charging the sender.

I read a different version of that

Interestingly, the law firm that sent out these notices may soon have its very own cash flow problem. Someone started a website asking people to send really small amounts of money to Danowsky & Partners, and then request a refund citing a wrong payment.

The law firm will be obliged to file these transfers, and all the accounting will be a costly process, especially when thousands of requests come in at the same time. Then, if the law firm refuses to pay, they can simply inform the The Enforcement Authority and have them go after the money instead. Oh the irony.
