suspected that copyright infringers were also harnessing it"
There is not proof that it was, at least not in what you wrote.

blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/05/30···english/Randy Saaf, MediaDefenders CEO, tells us that illegal file traders were taking advantage of the same loophole, a charge Louderback(CEO of Revision3) doesn’t dispute.
said by Dodge :"Also, Revision3 also admits the DOS attack was triggered by their own actions and was an automatic response by MediaDefender servers and that it wasn't an intentional DOS attack."
Where do they admit that? They said they closed the back door and MediaDefender threw an "epic tantrum".

blogs.wsj.com/biztech/2008/05/30···english/Once Louderback reached MediaDefenders, the company was able to stop the requests, which happened automatically when Revision 3 closed the hole. But it took all weekend to reach someone, Louderback tells us. And while he doesn’t object to MediaDefender’s tactics when it comes to combating piracy – which are perfectly legal – Louderback wishes the company had “checked to see that we are a legitimate site first.”
So basically, the folks at R3 discover their new server is open and is potentially being used for ill, so they lock it down, and THEN MD throws a fit at them. Great job, punish the folks that have fixed a security leak. Too bad none of the federal agencies will pursue criminal charges - too busy being lapdogs for the MPAA/RIAA I guess.
