It appears that mediadefender website is down and can not be reached. I was curious yesterday and tried to access the website but there was no response. Tried to ping the site and no response.

I wonder what is going on there?.

Constant Media Defender blocks on my IPfilters gets kind of annoying after awhile. These guys need to hurry up and die.

No.. the company behind that scam was Discordia Ltd. But the big 4 are going after the clients now as they think that’s the easier option.. Look out any P2P client who hasn’t registered their Trademark name.

btw, people in the know have all the MD IPs in their filter (if they are able to… they can in Shareaza)

One down, many more to go!

Not surprising though, that MD is
getting into the spam biz. One
comment on the original Revision3
story on p2pnet.net suggested that
was the case.

While not on the video or music side of things, there are new anti-piracy technologies making their way to content producers for PC gaming and software. One particular licensing vendor, Uniloc, is tying activation to the physical machine running the content. But rather than a pure anti-piracy take, the message they’re pushing is for content producers to partner with pirates – interesting. Check out this write-up on them – http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Application-Development/Using-Licensing-Strategies-to-Deal-with-Piracy/

these assholes deserve it for misusing internet for spreading fake torrents, which is equivalent to SPAM for e-mail.

Although Mediadefender\’s anti-Piracy business is drastically declining, there are more reasons for this, other than the email leak alone. As the movie and music industries gradually come to realize that \”interdiction\” simply does not work, they will start to reconsider their current pattern of spending huge sums of money, in futility, trying to stop or reduce the inevitability of filesharing.

MediaDefender knows this, and that\’s why they are trying to migrate their business toward spamming P2P networks. Because their current business-model practice of planting fake files, DoS attacking, and hogging bandwidth os suspected pirates is becoming less lucrative. And no doubt because their illegal actions to sabotage P2P are receiving increasing publicity. (Like any assassin, vandal, or terrorist, they work best under the cloak of darkness)

This is an example of our difference while their drive is the dollar our drive is something much different a way of life and a veiw on how information should be shared in all its forums. So while they are limited by their dollar figures we are only limited by our passion. (and the ability to watch/listen to something before we pay their over priced prices and decided for our self if it is really worth it)

I wish upon MD a long, slow, excrutiatingly painful death. Happy bankruptcy, a-holes.

It’s the beginning of the end for Media Defender that is. It’s about time people like me and the rest of us have been trying to take these guys down for ages trying to sort out all bad files from the good and tagging them. The good that comes out of these guys closing their doors and shutting down their network of BS is there will be less traffic on the P2P networks and also most of these bogus file from them will be gone after a wile. I was trying to get a team together last year to start a site that warns tracker moderators and administrators of these files and to get them off the tracker, but nothing ever goes my way.

Later,
Dragon
