You get the feeling these guys will never learn.
Perhaps there will be a few new letters for the "Legal Threats" section in the very near future! |

| too bad, so sad...
I'm not an advocate of piracy at all, but there has to be limits as to how these **aa organizations can pursue folks in their quest for intellectual property and content protection... media defender deserves to have their operation revealed for what it is... it probably won't end there, but this is an example of a far overreaching attempt on the parts of the **aa's and this is the blowback from it... |

TSK TSK... The pitcher is now playing catcher, and hates being second string. Let me get out that small fiddle and laugh proverbially along with the music. What these companies don't realize is the Europe ISN'T America. Bullying simply doesn't work there as it does here. Their politicians are not as easily purchased when it comes to issues of copyright. |

Re: asstunnels?
I like Ars Technica's hypothesis on the origin of "asstunnel":
quote:
(I'm guessing that an "asstunnel" is what you get when a European whose first language isn't English tries to say "asshole." It seemed awkward when I first read the response, but the expression has since grown on me.)
Reminds me of...

... That one day it will be Hackers that are our last defenders of Freedom, because what they do will be illegal... which is, expose the truth, while embarrassing Corporations and Governments... of course, that makes them "Cyber-Terrorists"....
I guess these days they use the distinction of "White-Hat" Hackers (Good) vs "Black-Hat" Hackers. (Evil)
But I suspect that in the views of Authoritarian types everywhere, Hacker = Evil = Terrorist.

|  Honeypot site to trap pirates OK by me
Instead of trying to hide their actions, they should just start up dozens of these sites until they get the IP addresses of all pirating users and then sue them in court.

London, ON | Illegal acts by Media Defender aswell.
what Media Defender is doing when trying to do DDoS attacks is 100% Illegal and if I recall entrapment is also Illegal and if the Info that was leaked proves the entrapment Plan then having the info on the net is NOT illegal. |

Re: Honeypot site to trap pirates OK by me
Well, I don't agree with over zealous tactics.
Imagine if your local police placed a stolen gun on your lawn. When you came out and saw it, they jump out of the bushes and arrest you for possession of it, even if you haven't picked it up. |

It was a funny email just the same. I'm kind of partial the the term Ass Clowns myself. I think it would be entirely appropriate in this case.
And instigating DDoS attacks?! Tsk tsk! Seems the pot is calling the kettle black now. |

At least they're smart enough to realize they can't stop piracy. Trying to contain it enough to generate a few thousand more sales is a more realistic and smart approach. Too bad it backfired... |

I really hope you aren't advocating that breaking the law to find criminals makes the first action acceptable. Granted, I haven't read their software's EULA, but unless it outlined its purpose in the fine print (which I doubt), MediaDefender's guilty of computer crimes of their own.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Good luck MD on defending your shenanigans. |
