Company claims to have magic bullet to kill P2P

Viralg Oy logoA company called Viralg Oy in Finland is claiming that it has a "virtual" algorithm capable of "mixing together files in P2P networks in a way that the illegal downloader will end up downloading useless garbage instead of real music, movie or game content". What's more, they say it can "destroy already shared files on peer to peer networks".

Perhaps the most interesting thing about their web site, apart from the unsurprising fact that it's almost entirely gibberish, is the "99%* Revenue Protection" claim at the top. The asterisk refers to a note at the bottom of the page that says says, "The percentage is actually 100%. Click here to get a demonstration." The demonstration is nowhere to be found, but why would they say 99% at the top when it's actually 100%?

Update: Slyck News got ahold of Viralg and managed to get some actual information out of them.
