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)

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

How odd! Blaming their best (only?) customer for their own profit woes? Doesn’t sound like a relationship builder strategy. RIAA members blame piracy, and hire MD, which doesn’t stop piracy and becomes a byword for incompetence and ineffectiveness, and then MD blames RIAA members for not spending enough for their services. Will they eat each other?

“The largest source of this decline is due to reduced spending on the part of the major music labels due to a significant reduction in their sales and profitability.”

Yep…Right…a reduction in sales. Well, I certainly don’t see MD doing their job by ‘Defending the Media’, too bad they aren’t able to defend the media from companies such as themselves.

Why isn’t Revision3′s CEO sueing? I bet the FBI do nothing about MediaDefenders illegal activities. We need to keep this topic alive ’cause I think they just want people to turn a blind eye toward what they did.

Always preview your files when possible. I never deal in those encased in zipped formats, especially large ones. I may be missing out, but its happened to me too many times.

With BT, turn on the “prioritize first and last bits” option to enable video viewing

All these leeches on Society must be eradicated. I suspect bankruptcy is not far off for them, which is what they want for all file sharers. Personally my whole life is close to it so it don’t bother me.

But even in the file sharing community most are “leechers” who take and give little or nothing back. I don’t blame those with low bandwidth or those paying to upload also.

The extent of greed and selfishness is widespread, and is an unhealthy ingrained trait which is doomed to fail. There’s more happiness in giving than receiving, said the greatest man who ever lived.

Sad news really. There needs to be *some* resistance to file-sharing at least or what’s even the point in being a pirate anymore?

I think this is conclusive proof that planting fake files on bit torrent does not work.

Most torrent site easily weed out fakes.

I think the music industry is now spending its money on selling downloads rather than planting fakes.
