Honeypot, maybe?

Just in case somebody doesn’t get your joke (I assume it’s a joke?): Private Network

Not sure if the kid is trolling or really honestly that dumb. But I’m leaning toward the latter.

He was young. I bet that somewhere there’s a computer science major who’s embarrassed about his old YouTube account.

Embarrassed, but not clever enough to just take it down?

1.5 million views on that video. Damn.

Good point - I assumed, based on results, the system was being operated by data-entry monkeys, not MIT engineers.

Maybe even law students.

I once told a guy who said he was going to “hack” me that that was my IP address. He suddenly logged out and I never saw him again. I choose to believe he did, in fact, crash himself.

If they are sending takedown notices based on bot searches and involving no human oversight, they deserve no sympathy whatsoever.

This is abuse.

Universal needs to face penalties for abusing the system.
