I just don't get it, why would anyone change the name of an old episode to make it appears as the latest episode? To make the issue worse, people who actually downloaded the fake episode keep the file under the shared folder.

That's what gets me, whenever I got a fake I would either change the name of the file or delete it.

Hi ! There are actually companies that are paid for uploading and sharing fake stuff (ok .. not friends but anyway). The owners of the original programs,videos etc. want to kill the P2P network by flooding it with fake files, so that there is much more traffic (because of all the fake-downloading).

If P2P were to go, I think that's the only way. The thing is, If you've downloaded a fake song, you're bound to delete it, which limits the number of shares.
