Really Weird Idea I Had.

    I was trying to think of a Legal (Server Side) way to distribute Movies and other content. Say I had an Array of 10 Servers, and everytime I uploaded a movie it would split the file between the ten servers, creating ten different files. Then when a user tries to download the movie it will take them one tenth of the time to download. And since these are slices of the movie would it still be illegal content? Even if it is, how would I make a script like this (Divide a File, and Bring it Back together when the user downloads it) that I could use with any file?

    One tenth of the time? Can you control the user's downstream speed?

    Of course, even if it's a millionth of a move the owner still retains copyright.

    Hmmmm If you break into a bank and only steal a tenth of the money, is it still bank robbery??
