As of 4/11/08 nothing with Miivi in it is listed as a Corp or LLC.

Tisk, tisk — they couldn’t even afford the $85 to file an LLC in California.

i cant believe so many people missed this
“they also trap people into downloading fake torrents ”
if its a fake torrent then youve done nothing wrong
example,
you download what you believe to be the new transformers movie, when played, only shows a blank picture that just grey, no sound no nothing.
this is a fake file, and since this is not the copyrighted material then downloading it wasent illegal since you dont have a copy of the actual copyrighted work. they have nothing on you, any cease and dissest letters can be viewed as harrassment.
these are easily fought in court, or simply and better still…ignored since no laws were broken

Bad logic. If you download a file you THINK is say, 300, and it turns out that it isn’t, technically, you still went through the process of downloading 300. The thought that you can’t be charged for illegal downloading simply because it wasn’t the actual 300 is silly.

By the way, nice name. I’m a Castlevania man myself.

Your logic is incredibly flawed.
It doesn’t matter what someone says you think you were doing. I can offer to buy “pot” off someone and they sell me oregano. If a cop comes along to arrest me for buying pot, it won’t hold up since an illegal sale never happened. You need the evidence which would be the copy of 300 downloaded and on your computer. Since it isn’t there and was never downloaded then it means nothing. I might have a shareware bowling game on my computer titled “300″. Considering your logic, I could be arrested for having that?
Try again sparky.

In case you’d like to have written correspondence with MediaDefender’s CEO Randy Saaf, or its President Octavio Hererra, you’re more likely to reach them at MediaDefender’s registered executive office:
1601 Cloverfield Blvd, Ste. 400 South, Santa Monica, CA 90404
(310) 956-3300

That also happens to be the registered address of MediaDefender’s parent company, ArtistDirect, Inc.

While you’re writing, maybe you’d like to drop a line to AD’s CEO Jonathan Diamond, or Corporate Controller Rene Rousselet?

I would not be suprised if WHOIS started showing sites in the names of their consulting affiliates and/or shareholding companies (if that’s even possible), like WNT Consulting Group LLC, WNT07 Holdings LLC, etc…

There is a thing called ENTRAPMENT… And I’m pretty sure this is it…

“entrapment”

“the practice of causing someone to do something they would not usually do by tricking them”

So how could any of their claims be valid in a court of law?[/quote]

Exactly! It’s like when cops dress up as prostitutes, then walk up to someone and offer them sex. When the person says yes, they bust them (which is illegal). It is the same thing here. If you were randomly offered a free 300 download at high speed, why wouldn’t you take it?

Entrapment is done by law enforcement personnel or government agents not by record companies and their affiliates. Its fine if you want to continue to refer to this as entrapment, but don’t expect the defense to hold up in a court of law.

If you had no idea about copyright law or the legality of what you were doing when you visited this site, you would think ‘Oh! cool!’ because this website implies that it’s fine to do so and advertises as much, where the founders are setting you up for lawsuits for copyright infringement.

It’s the same as a police man encouraging you to steal something then when you do, they immediately arrest you for it. If it wasn’t being promoted or encouraged, it may never have happened.

What a load of crap entrapment like you quoted “doing something which they would not usually do”
but then why would they be doing it if they don’t usually do it?
It’s not like some innocent person will find the site and know where to get a copy of a pirated movie and then upload it on this site is it?
To be entrapment the jizz stains would have to supply the movie aswell or a means to get the movie!

F00k em anyway i’m waiting for the bastards to knock on my door so i can piss on their heads and if they’re there long enough and my aim is true then i’d take a dump on their heads also or even a dump and piss at the same time
