Google hack creates peer-to-peer network
A video posted to YouTube in April offers a primer on how to use Google to pilfer music and video files in less time than it takes to download them from a peer-to-peer service.
"I'll be teaching you how to use Google as your own peer-to-peer network," said Jimmy Ruska, the 21-year-old who posted the video according to a report in The Financial Times.
The how-to video focuses on an "index of" search and shows users how to order Google's search engine to locate files from unprotected computer systems, many of which are found on college campuses. University students around the country often store music on their schools' computer networks.
