The original IDEA is now changed into IDEA 20090925 Virii 2009 Confiker

The idea is to collect together the year's most popular computer viruses and provide them on a sealed disk for sale to the owner. The owner would be registered upon sale, and the collection, while put onto a disk, possibly a platinum or gold disk for archival qualities, but put behind glass and entrusted to the owner not to use.

Its a best of CD!

Computer viruses, create havoc, whether real or not, and provide for a large economy of services based around FUD in general computing use. If one has not encountered a computer virus, or had to answer questions from troubled parents using computers, then one must not be living in modern times.

The packaging for the Virii 2009 to be generated would be similar to a platinum disk or gold disk as generated for recording artists. While its not a reward to the virus creators, it is notable to create such successful software.

Also, putting these on disks is not a violation in and of itself. It is not use, but it is an acknowledgment of the place in society for these types of merchandise.

Next Steps

  • Complete collection of virii
  • Make a metric like the RIAA for platinum, gold records
  • Find out specs on archival data disk
  • Find out who makes platinum disks for RIAA, etc
  • Complete manufacturing of the disc

Further Projects

Another idea is to create a similar project to Open Machine Gun, where Virii 2009 are put online, but massive credentials, openid, etc, all required for one to download the disks, and then provide a public acknowledgment of the bait.
