Pirates of the Amazon is an art of Warcraft
A couple of days ago we wrote about a Firefox plugin called Pirates of the Amazon, after installation it may users browse the Amazon product page, into a huge “Download 4 free” button, providing BT download links to the Pirate Bay. Plugin is in fact a Greasemonkey script, developers will be packaged as a separate plugin, quality of the code itself is not clever.
After this plugin more sites reported, were immediately sought after. Soon developers have got a Amazon corporate legal notice, they were forced off the a Web site, plug-ins are also deleted (Torrentfreak have backups).
Now, these students developers announced at the Web site, Pirates of the Amazon is actually an art pranks is a media research and education, part of the course, they are the Netherlands Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam University graduate students of visual media design specialty design Research Institute. It is an interface design, information access and controversial issues in the current media culture of the actual test. They received so much attention on this project and repercussions come as a surprise. They say the project’s value lies in its response, it reflects the current culture of the Internet.
