Creative Use of Reverse DNS

The torrent tracking site The Pirate Bay, which briefly moved to Sweden following a raid on its servers by authorities in The Netherlands, is back on its original provider. However, if you do a Reverse DNS lookup on their IP address, you'll see a creative use of DNS to deliver a message to the MPAA - a phrase familiar to fans of the animated series Futurama.

For XP users enter nslookup 83.140.176.146 from the command line.
