Make them pay – literally
Ahh – gotta love those crazy guys from The Pirate Bay!
In an attempt to put (financial) pressure on the law firm which opposed them in their recent court case, co-founder of TPB Gottfrid Svartholm Warg has recommended a strategy he is calling Distributed Denial of Dollars attack (DDo$).
After discovering the bank being used to faciliate online payments will charge (after an initial free 1000 transactions) 2 Swedish kronors (about 25c US) per transaction, Gottfrid is recommending everyone pay them 1 SEK online which should result in them owing the bank 1 SEK instead of receiving 1 SEK for each transaction.
Additionally the overhead incurred due to each transaction having to be handled by hand (due to the small size of the firm) will have the added bonus of costing time and productivity.
Maybe not something I’d recommend – but full marks for thinking outside the box!
