I downloaded something off USENET overnight and I was very disappointed to find that it would not play. A 300MB file only contained one frame which said This video can only be played in DomPlayer, Visit Download.Domplayer.Com. This struck me as suspicious; DomPlayer obviously was not a codec and why would I need a certain player to open an AVI?
A little bit of research revealed that:
- DomPlayer is malware; being flagged by several anti-virus suites
- It costs $3.75 to use!
- The video file probably doesn’t contain what I’m after but probably contains garbage
DomPlayer place bogus files on P2P networks, especially BitTorrent, and con users out of their money and privacy and waste their bandwidth (and time)!
Basically, if you’re unlucky enough to download a bonus video, do not pay… download another!
