[...] 2007 Seven hundred megabytes worth of email from MediaDefender is very publicly leaked to the internet. MediaDefender is a independent company that finds and monitors peer-to-peer distribution networks that illegally trade in copyrighted material for the MPAA and RIAA. The company has made itself notorious among the internet community in recent months with its allegedly unscrupulous tactics. The thousands of email messages leaked contain sensitive data on the company’s internal workings, including the tactics it uses to snare filesharers. Among the most controversial of the tactics is a phony filesharing site “MiiVii.com,” which the company set up for the soul purpose of luring users into uploading files that violate copyright. Other revelations include the fact that the company has repeatedly been responsible for leaking new releases to public bittorrent trackers. Read more at TorrentFreak.com. [...]

[...] Every P2P user out there should have heard of Media Defender. They create fake torrents, fake Edonkey and Soulseek servers even go as far to create fake video streaming sites in order to bust people for uploading copyrighted movies and such (miivi). How this doesn’t fall under entrapment though is beyond me. They are the knife in most P2P users side and work closely with none other than our friends at the MPAA and RIAA (damned though if they admit it). Most of their tactics are extremely seedy and underhanded but in the last few days 700mb worth of internal emails were leaked onto the Internet by a group known as Media Defender – Defender. The Emails range from workers taking their lunch to the tactics they will use to ‘leak’ The Simpsons movie on its opening weekend to emails about miivi being taking offline. There is lots of interesting and secret stuff that I’m sure Media Defender would have liked to have kept internal. Ah well Media Defender you suck and you just got fucked… again. I can just imagine the looks of distress at Media Defender HQ, its enough to bring a smile to ones face. More info at TorrentFreak. [...]
