There was a great windows app called ‘dvdshrink’ that let you rip commercial DVDs onto blank DVDs (shrinking them if necessary). It got taken down with a Cease & Desist, but the MPAA or whoever didn’t worry about who took the domain. For a long time, the site was just filled with ads instead - now it’s a bit more sophisticated: no real link to download the software, but lots of genuine-seeming donation requests.
The fake site is at the first search result for that software (edit: it’s probably best not to link directly to it)
That’s kinda funny, in a way - unsophisticated prevention for an unsophisticated attack.
Everyone trying to use the Internet normally suffers due to this kind of stuff.
