摘要

A method for distributing electronically stored data by providing such data in a plurality of physical computers (12). A second set of files with corrupted information content compared to a first set of files is stored in the physical computers (12). The physical computers are provided with IP addresses with a mutual order selected from a set of IP addresses, which is substantially larger than the number of selected IP addresses. A plurality of network clients (13) is executed in the physical computers, a network client being arranged for connecting to a peer-to-peer type network, and the second set of files is made available for downloading to other computers connected to the network.
