trivial to accomplish, too.

attached to this mail is an empty mpeg file (zipped). you can inflate it to 
any size you desire by doing (on Linux):

unzip empty.zip
dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1024 count=xxx >>empty.mpg

where xxx is the number of KB you want to add. use 681574400 for 650 MB
which is the size of a CD and would look very promising for a pirated
movie.



I think I qualified for all the extra score. what's the price? :))
