Software Allows Activists to Spoof Web Sites Easily

Responding to a deepening legal dispute over a parody of the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Web site, a loose-knit band of Internet activists has created software that will purportedly allow technically savvy users to spoof virtually any Web site in a matter of minutes. Called "YesIWill," the software is being made available to Internet users at no cost by The Yes Men, a self-described group of Internet satirists opposed to the "neo-liberal economic policies" of the WTO and other organizations involved in facilitating broader global trade.
