Private FTP sites seem to be more common among those who trade unlicensed, copyrighted material for profit. This is clearly criminal. Certainly this isn't what your average P2P user is doing.
Has anyone ever done a money trail investigation regarding this? The only people I ever thought was making money off of copyrighted material was the people selling "warez CDs" in the small ads in the paper, and that was 5-8
I have't seen all that much warez doing the rounds of random ftp sites - quite often running on backdoored boxes in places with a lot more bandwidth than clue level (corporations, student dorm rooms ...) What I do get to notice is a lot of porn being distributed that way. srs -- srs (postmaster|suresh)@outblaze.com // gpg : EDEDEFB9 manager, outblaze.com security and antispam operations
